General Xmas fun - Warriors best second rowers

[wizard of Tauranga]

Strong position for the Warriors historically.

Who’s the top second rower for your Warriors 2025 team?

And who do we have fond memories of in the second row!

I ran this same poll competition several years ago during Covid around 2021.

AFB and Tohu weren’t in the forum team at that time (for Wiki? and Campion).

I wonder if in another few years if Leka (or another junior) will command one of these spots!

Fascinating stuff?

If I was really picking a team to play I’d have mannering at center just because we haven’t had the same depth there as in the backrow- he’s actually one of our most capped centers with 66 games there but for the purpose of this exercise juju and Ali are automatic selections in the second row.
Probably the easiest position to choose tbh.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

The Micheal Jordan of Rugby League. Ali Lauititi all day for me.

 

[Tragic]

I went Ali and Superman as that's a mean combo but SK was probably better the SM in his prime, although different styles

Kearney busted his backside every time he played. In an average team.
Ali is naturally first pick a unique talent.
I can really split Simon and Mooks but I went Mooks

 

[Matiunz]

Ali and Mannering, Kearney was the tough one to leave out

 

[WAH MAN]

All of these best positional guys sadly never played together. I would trade almost anything for a premiership.

Then the whole team will be my choice

2nd rowers though.....

Best hit.....Guttenbeil offside Vs roosters to stand up for our little winger.

Best player all round..... Ali as well. So different to the others because of his ball playing skills. So good to watch.

But yeah it's stink to have had amazing players in ratsarse teams over the years
