OK THAT'S IT - WARRIORS MAKE TOP 8 TWO TIMES OUT OF THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF WEBSTER.
Interesting facT
When we won against the Knights in rd 20 (Lekas heroics) - Knights got thumped by Canberra the following week + 44 points
Rd 21 - we lose to the Titans
Following week Tits we’re getting pumped 0/24 HT against Penrith
Rd22 - we lost to Dolphins. Following week they get pumped by 64 against the chooks!
Rd 23 - we lose to dogs. Following week they get 32 points pumped by the chooks.
Rd 24 - we narrowly beat Dragons. Last night they get pumped by 40!!! Against the Rabbits…
The last 5 teams we played got some serious whip arse after they played us.
What does it mean???
Either we are due for a whip ass or we drain all the energy out the tank that opposing teams have nothing left the following week ..

I think most would agree that Fatialofa is the answer to your question, but tbh, I don't think that's even the right question.
Ale hasn't been given a go this year at all, despite being in top form in Cup and having decent experience in the NRL, and being in peake physical form as a 25/26 year old.
Injuries at the wrong time hindered him this year you say? I say between Bunty and Tanner Showers-Smith, they've played 16 games in first grade this year, and of those weeks, Ale has played cup about 11 times. So he's been available.
I like Tanner and can see upside in his game but we've seriously lacked go forward since Mitch went down injured, and Ale would have improved that somewhat.
It's all likely to be water under the bridge as Ale will likely sign with Penrith, but in a year of confusing Webster selections and bench rotations, Ale not playing a single game in first grade has to be up there with one of his more confusing decisions.
Errors is a misleading stat as there are positive errors and negative errors. Too often Kosi's glaring errors were dropping the pill taking a hit up inside our 20. If the errors are competing and getting a finger tip on a bomb, then they are not concerning errors. An aerial player will always have a higher error rate.
So rabbits are coming dead last in nsw cup, 4 points behind the next worst. In other words, they’re terrible.
In this time, Haizyn has the following stats per game:
0.8 tries
120m
0.7 offloads
4.4 tackle breaks
6 tackles, 1 miss
Great stats for someone coming dead last, on the wing. Glaringly though he averages 2.6 errors a game. He’ll need to tidy this up if he’s any hope of making first grade. By contrast Kosi makes 2.5, DWZ 1.8 per game.
However at 6 foot 3, and 21 years old, he offers something our current crop does not - height. He’s the same height as Coates, so there’s no reason why he can’t be our Xavier after a few years. For mine, it’s the right type of risk & it’s a point of difference. At his age, and lack of experience he’s a pure project that wouldn’t have broken the bank to get him home.
I like it.

Dad was a Warrior & mum was a pro basketballer. Good pedigree
As tall as Kosi but faster from the looks of things. Seems a good kid

Get over Metcalf. We havn't got him so lets get behind who we have.
Go Tannah 100%
For real. Its the heart vs head reactions for me. I've been a supporter of Taine all year. But, Charnze needs to go back to 1 for his yardage & superior defense. And I've been preaching the TMM over Healy on the bench because of his utility value. Ima huge fan of Healy, We just need to do what's best for the team right now. Even if its not a popular choice with the fans. It is what it is.
And as for Rocco, It's a no brainer if he is fit. TMM's role of a utility becomes even more important as we know how fragile Rocco's body is. Egan's history of head knocks. CNK carrying an injury. And Boyd's lack of impact on games.

Really don't understand why people are upset over this team listing. It's pretty much as expected. Rocco needs to come back in to fix the edge defense. If the last month have proven anything, it's that utility back cover is more important than ever so it really is a given that TMM has to come in at the expense of Healey. It is what it is.
This is close to the best team we can put out there at the moment bar Mets and Barney.

Bunty’s strong runs although looking impressive, don’t actually have a huge effect on his opponents but when Vaimauga does them he sends bodies flying. I’m seeing everything in this guy, footwork, ball playing, offloads and iq as you mentioned. He’s going to be a great of the club I believe
Vaimauga is an interesting one. Selling him short a wee bit by saying he's a workhorse, as I've seen him put a few players on their arse while trying to tackle him. He's also got a touch of finesse and good ball playing, and seems to have good footy IQ too. Give him another few years to hit his peak physical form and I think Vaimauga will be having those bollocking runs a few times a game
