Penrith resting all their players is a bad look for the game
They should be fined for this sort of stuff

We got them in the forwards - trust me. What will easily stop the eels is to suffocate Moses and Brown. If they have a quiet one, we win. All the aussie commentator talk of our defence deteriorating lately, it's only short-term as we re-shuffle the pack a bit. A steady 17 this week will work wonders. My tip: Watch Eddy Toeava. Other sides don't know it yet, but if he gets some space, he'll outsprint anyone in loose play. Go the Mighty Warriors!
I've seen a fair bit of him live and refereed him several times. Viking among others also would have spotted him at some age group tournaments.
New Zealand Warriors lock in pathways standout on long-term deal

What are people’s views on this guy and is he apart of the long term picture? Is he likely to play nsw cup next year and is the halves where he’s likely to stay? Looks like he’s filling out a bit
He has all that is required in his kit bag for a quality half including a decent kicking game.
His control of the game and awareness is top notch.
Probably the same speed as Harris Tavita
He can control tempo of the game wherever he plays.
I really like him as a 6/7 but I think his best position going forward could be a ball playing and hard working 13.
A Cameron Murray type player rather than a Jazz/Erin.
Surely he plays SG Ball next year and then Flegg and who knows he might get a gig here and there in NSW Cup.
He doesn't turn 18 until next year which is the same as Leka was when he played Cup at 17.
His brother Devan who is 14/15 maybe is a slighter build but a dynamic runner of the ball.

No disrespect to all our halves or this opinion but if we had Fogarty and Strange as our halves we would be minor premiers this year they are both a big step above
Chanel appreciation post. I must admit, I've been one of Chanel's harshest critics over the years, but man I'm happy to admit I'm wrong and am stoked for how well he's been going on 2025.
Imo he's been a fantastic 2nd option as a half - kicking, running, and defending really well and chiming in where needed. He used to overplay his hand quite often, we all remember the no look pass over the side line last year, a long with other poor plays, but he's really cut those down this year.
Interestingly, he has 17 try assists for the year, which is 3rd equal for a Warriors half over the last 10 years. SJ got 27 in 2023, 18 in 2017 and 17 in 2018, so if he manages to get 2 more before the season end he'd sit 2nd outright, which is very impressive.

Webby is making a huge mistake here, playing scared. We need to be working Healey into the game plan from 14 NOW. Two clear reasons, one if Egan goes down TMM is not first drop hooker or even second drop. Egan could definitely go down at any time and we're just straight fucked without him. Two, our attack and energy have been flat, playing Healey either side of half time is a great opportunity to work some dynamicism into the team.
What's the fucking point in having TMM at 14. I thought he did ok when he came on, but he's really just bringing injury cover which is playing scared. Our only chance come finals is to maximise upside, which means playing healey at 14 not TMM.
The talk of who should be FB needs to be put to bed until the off season. CNK proved last night his value to the team in that position. Noting, he was only moved to centre because of injuries.
The metres gained by him last night was awesome, it gave the team momentum and put the team in better positions with the kicks. How good was Berry with the chase.
It is the one percenters that CNK and Berry bring to the team.
Last night should have given the team a further confidence boost. The Parra will be difficult to beat. But the Warriors can and i suspect will win.

If we were under any illusion the yardage game of our back 3 isnt critical to the way we play, that game shouldve dispelled it.
Rog, Dal and Charnze racked up 546 metres between them! Close to a thrid of all our metres run.
Not just the metres but they usually win the contact as well getting good ruckspeed for the next hit up. Multiple hit ups in the same set means our middles dont have to work as hard and can conserve energy for defence and especially line speed which is huge to our grinding game of limiting opposition yards.
However it does also highlight imo how our biggest strength can also be our downfall.
Couldnt be a clearer blueprint for oppositions on how to shut us down - stop our back 3!
Cant believe Titans didnt get the memo in this. Its what oppositions have been doing the last 6 weeks or so. Titans line speed on those early tackles were literally non existent.....failing to move up allowed Rog n co to get us back over halfway within 3 runs most of the time......allowed us time and again to execute our territory game that Webby loves.
Its why while happy with the performance im not getting too carried away, 100 percent any top 8 team we play wont afford us the same luxury.

We lost a lot of experience pre season.
We were pinned for the spoon.
We lost a lot of experience mid season.
We were pinned to drop out of the 8.
Webby is now the most successful Warriors coach, since Ivan Cleary.
It's a low bar, but he's jumped over it.
We played well and put in a good performance. But to be fair, the Titans were poor and played like spooners with consistent errors and giving away penalties and 6 agains that killed their momentum and handed us field position and good ball.
15 errors from the Titans and we enjoyed 54% possession. Quite a one sided game.
You can only play to the opposition and we put our performance together well. It was a relief to have an opposition not playing their best game of the season for once with exceptional error free games and 90+% completion rates!
As good as the young guys are we need to keep this all in mind. It’s a good result for a young team but we need to keep repeating this the next 2 weeks building into the finals.

Probably the most underrated aspect of our year. We took a punt in fielding one of the greenest rosters in the comp for this year. Yet despite losing basically half of it through the season, we are still in the box seat for the top 4.
To take perspective, Parra are probably the only other team who took the same risk of moving on their dad's army and blooding their juniors. They are barely out of the wooden spoon race yet NRL pundits just can't get enough of Ryles. Yet not a peep about what Webby has done with our juniors.
Amazing how some people hear things so differently and seem to think everyone has it out for them. I can't remember once a game called by Vossy which he has been biased in any way for any team. If anything he has been a great proponent for the Warriors over the years. The fact someone can listen to that and think he wants the other team to win says more about the person that thinks that.
If you take offense to a commentator calling out something as shit when a team is playing shit or makes bad plays - harden up - it happens to every team and I'd rather have honesty than someone blowing smoke up my ass.
Best thing about this year regardless of how things end up.
Leka, Demi, TSS, Laban, EIT, Healey...
You wouldn't expect teams to be developing that many rookies in one season and still manage to be competing for top 4.
Good signs for the future.
Shout out to the refs aye.!!!
not cheating for once which was a surprise

Favourite part was EITs try.
On the back of Leka's charge at the line.
Then Leka and Stowers Smith first ones in the embrace.
Demetric on the bench......the next gen forwards are coming through nicely.
My question is.....where are our next gen backs?
