General YOUR Team for 2026

NZWarriors.com

Probably not a realistic prospect of playing #1 but I put in the time working this out because there's probably 20 other guys across the comp I'd rather play Fullback than either CNK or Tuaupiki.
Here's RTS's body of work at Fullback since he returned:

2024:
283m vs Knights
293m vs Tigers
200m vs Raiders (started at Cente, 34 mins at #1 & scored a try in the position)
281m vs Bulldogs (started at Centre, 42 mins at #1)
256m vs Raiders (started on Wing, 72 mins at #1 and scored a try in the position)

Never been a great ball player but in his career at Fullback he averages 0.3 Tries per game & 0.4 Try Assists. CNK is 0.3 & 0.2 and Tuaupiki 0.1 & 0.5

He offers same or more meters than CNK and has the speed off the mark and a lethal step to make defenders nervous, and he looks keen to work on his passing game because he’s actually grown a vision these days, which is surprising cuz I was told he doesn’t pass

Good to see these stats backing up the eye test

I’d be pretty frustrated if we have 5 wingers (3 FG) and he’s still not moved to FB, at worst it’s a decision on either playing CNK or a CNK upgrade in a key position to try to win the comp, easy decision
