General Your 2024 lineup

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Be surprised if Sifa comes back to his pre ACL form this season.

Would be banking on some reggies this year, a full pre-season, and hopefully ready to go 2025.

Thought I heard he was tracking ahead of time but you are likely right. I really liked what I saw of him in FG can see him being a long term first grader.

 

[Tragic]

I’m coming around to a bench of:

Walker
Niukore
Lussick
Jazz (injury cover)

Example middle bench rotation:
20 min - Barnie > Walker
25 min - AFB > Niukore
50 min - Tohu > AfB
55 min - Niukore > Barnie
70min - Tohu > Barnie / Walker

5 interchanges, leaves you 2 to get Egan on and off for Lussick plus an injury sub.

If there’s an injury in the backs Walker fills it and Jazz moves to 13; if there’s an injury to an edge forward Niukore fills it and Jazz moves to prop.

I don't mind it but one thing that worked for us last year early on was Walker and jazz coming in at the same time and changing momentum, when they come in separately the impact isn't the same, so wondering if they might try that combo again now they are both fit.

 

[Lance155]

I think we need one of our young guys in there from day 1 at the expense of Barnett or Jazz. Blood them now and see if they thrive

I have had a long day at the cricket so may not be concentrating well. Are you saying Jazz as injury cover only and on days with no injuries he will play zero minutes? IF so I do not see Jazz agreeing to that.

If he doesn’t im happy for him to play cup bro

There were two different Jazz's last year. Early season Jazz was a real game changer. Late season Jazz, after his injury. played in 2nd gear. His play in the pre-season matches was like Late season Jazz. I am not sure what should be done with him.

[Five&Last]

Great prospect but Sifakula shouldn’t be on anyone’s predicted team lists at any point this year.

He needs time in cup to come back from an injury like that

 

[Pop Dukez]

Would love to see Montoya unleash that deadly fend of his regularly this year…..he’s up there with the best in the NRL right now. Some early ball from RTS would be helpful, our right side got all the accolades last year for good reason but it could very well even up on the left. Actually….it will

If you look at Webbys finals bench games 1 2 3 ( 1 is an anomaly as SJ out ) ( couldve chosen majority of squad bar metcalfe)


FINAL1
14.Jazz/Dylan
15.Bailey/Jazz
16.Curran/Bailey
17.Freddy/Josh
FINAL2&3^

Always 2 middles
Then 2 edge backrower lock utility types

I think that bench is bang on and the only contentious position is Jazz's funnily. Most of our top 30 could play that role. Might be our Debut spot.

Seriously?

 

[Pop Dukez]

Seriously?

Barnett, absolutely no way.

Jazz, later bro.

I like this, feel for Bunty though but I reckon he’s reached his ceiling.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Jazz has to go- he is a momentum killer when he comes on sometimes with his error rate. Give Laban or Maiu his bench spot come round 1.

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

I'll be surprised if Jazz is not picked.

He's got what Webster likes, effort and attitude.

Ist game will be steady as she goes.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

I want Zyon Maiu’u to get 10+ games from the bench this year. With injuries this is easily possible. Get that experience into him because he’s going to be a big part of 2025.

Deep down I think we all know

It’s SL time for Jazz

Mad Props for him as a Warrior, no doubt, but his spot can be used by multiple players

Club first
