General Your 2025 team

Any insights on the rest of the lineup? Fullback, halfback etc?

Woofa has been taken out the back... a sponsor's logo mysteriously disappears from playing strip, but warriors play first game in Vegas with black arm bands...

Woofa has been taken out the back... a sponsor's logo mysteriously disappears from playing strip, but warriors play first game in Vegas with black arm bands...

"We're going to let one of you all to come and walk through the OG tunnel!" Webby proclaims

Despite Woofa not putting his hand up, he is selected to go through.

As they walk along from the training field, Woofa's phone buzzes constantly with notifications from the Warriors forum-"Who is playing 13?" "Who is at fullback?"

He silences his phone as they approach the tunnel, where a large figure stands in the shadows

Webby leans in, whispers in his ear "We know you are the rat", and then proceeds the Sparta kick Woofa into the tunnel and lock the gate shut.

Woofa regathers himself and looks towards the man as he comes towards the light.

Before Woofa can make out who it is, he sees the mans wrist tape..

It reads, "Fold some cunts!!"

Yeah my guess is Metcalfe 6 from what was read out with CHT backup, Boyd and TMM prob 50-50 at this stage.. Fullback they read 2 of, so CNK and TT.

centres

Rocco Berry thought of Highly so pencil him in.. others not sure

 

[Woofa]

We did exact same thing last year and drew number 5 as well.. we were 100% told it was RTS and then Pablo (Montoya) played most of season.. Roger not once.. so my intel hardly that good.. but I would say Rog on Wing is 95% lock.. rest no idea really if Im honest. They read 2 players per position but shit can happen/ change.

I’d submitted a team some time ago, and now I thought I’d throw a left field lineup after I thought about who is kicking goals and adding some threat out wide with kicks, both offensively and defensively, ‘Zac Lomax stylzzz’
(Disclaimer, I don’t think this will be the team but good for chatter for another week prior to trials)

RTS
Berry
CNK
Leiataua
DWZ
Metcalf
Boyd
JFH
Egan
Barnett
Ford
Capewell
Clark

Walker
Nuikore
Vaumanga
Ale

Did they read out players in multiple positions, for example CNK at centre as well as fullback?

Interesting on the Warriors instagram page some latest pictures of players posing with the Samoan flag, Luke Metcalf one with Ali Leiataua and RTS. Wonder if this is our left edge with Leiataua centre, RTS wing and Metcalf five eighth?

Maybe, but I think it's just milking the Luka Mikiafu name that the fans love.

Nah

On the levels podcast about the warriors that came out today. They seem to be feeling Niukore as our new lock, which is an interesting take... But hey there is some weight behind those words and i've not heard anyone in this forum promote that as an option which i found quite interesting.

Personally I think it will be Clark starting and Walker coming off the bench. Saying that there are so many questions with our back row that won’t be answered until the Trials/R1.

Yeah I’ve given that some thought- he did play a grand final there but that was a while ago. The games changed a lot and I don’t know if he’s got enough footy in him- he’s pretty straight up and down.
Jfh, Barney and muss would be a pretty intimidating middle 3 though.

I just saw highlights of Zyon Maiu’u and his debut on anzac day, why did he not get another go?

The man made 77m in 13 mins from 7 runs! He nearly turned that game in our favour, how was he not explored again?

While we're on the topic of 13s, I'd be really keen to see Tom Ale start, even if it's for the first 20 or 30 minutes. Really solid defender, mobile, can bend the line and sneaky good hands too. With him, Barney and Fish starting, I'd feel pretty confident we'd hold our own in the middle 3rd against most teams. Walker and Clark on the bench along with Demetric provide a really dynamic interchange.

it is a bit of a make or break season for Ale, I hope he gets the minutes to really prove himself as a consistent 1st grader, he's too good for reserve grade.
