Gameday Wests Tigers v NZ Warriors - [Round 4, 2026]

[miket12]

Fantastic! CNK to centre and TT to FB.....Metcalf back at 6.....that's my first choice backline

Just missing a Ropati

 

[Stalefish540]

Can't believe Webby is actually making these changes.

That might be the most surprising thing about this whole year for me.

Bunty playing NSw cup

Boo!

Just missing a Ropati

No! No we are not haha

 

[ShaunJohnson7]

Picking it now we are gonna stomp the Tigers. Think this is the best Warriors pack in our history with Capes still to return

That backline looks great too.....that's our best backline I reckon.

Even better than the monster packs of 2001-2003? I'm not so sure.

Great coaching from Webster. Drop Ali as defence not good enough to work on his game in 1st grade and reward Taine for his outstanding play over the last two weeks.

Our 1st grade team looks stacked. Can't wait to see who starts and who is on the bench.

I think this pack is stacked yep, likes of TSS didn't even play last week and Capes still out.

That era was sick though you are right and have the runs on the board whereas this is early days

As a former leader of the Ali fan club I feel he’s had his chances over the past few years.

I struggle to see a way back anytime soon TBH.

His performance in Cup so far is proving the point

 

[Wah's Up]

Okay big fella. Just don't get too obsessed with your imagination.

I don't wanna wake up and find you staring through my window or something.

Hey you guys, go get a room.

So much talent but just doesn’t seem to have the internal drive to go next level.

Is it much the same? Shame....if he's not motivated by this team and squad then it's hard to imagine it will ever happen.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Websters done everything asked of him by the forum!

Crowd sourcing decisions at its finest.

This is a great time to be a fan of this team!

Miss the days of feka palaesina running like a rhinoceros from the kick off. And Faumuina playing basketball throwing the ball over his head to an unmarked tuimavave under the sticks for the winning try v Brisbane in 2003.

The ball playing we have between middles we currently have is cool. But the flair of the DA years will never be matched.

Needs to go overseas out of his comfort zone in a make or break for his career.

Yeah he needs to do something it seems.....even that didn't work for the likes of Hurrell who was more talented than Ali. Ah well ...the young forwards look both talented and hungry so all is well. And we have veteran options at centre.

Hard to compare different generations.

Our pack back then would get monstered, that pack now would be fatigued out by half time.

Both are dominant and a step above the rest of the comp.

We are gonna have Wahs Coins soon aren’t we?

Don't think either of those players would make the current rotation honestly ...Sione especially was super talented but never lived up to it.
