Boredom buster

[Penrose Warrior]

Oh yeah, you're right. It could've been a new beginning. Shaun Lane debuted that game too. Hoffman and Johnson clapped the team off the field at the end. Two senior players announcing a new era...

I remember being absolutely ropeable that we let those guys who shat on our jersey back in the next week. We got pumped by the Panthers and Raiders, both in NZ. Another clear sign from our organisation (and there were a few) that there was no real accountability and guys could go about it however they wanted.

Not sure if my one qualifies, but I always thought Misi Taulapapa was going to be Manu's long term wing partner. Had a good carry and was very aggressive. Played a few games, looked strong to me from memory and then got sacked.

Malo Solomona too, scored a hat-trick against the dogs one night and then never seen again basically

Definitely qualifies. I remember that game, he was really impressive. Can't remember how his other seven games went, to be fair.

As a kid I used to love Fa'afili for his try celebrations. I can't clearly remember if he was a good player or not, though

I was the same, I loved his try celebrations.
I do seem to remember a lot of running sideways though

I saw him last week at a bar in the Mount. Holy hell, he wouldn't need to run it sideways now - he is absolutely jacked. How he got there could be potentially up for debate...

Here's one.

Do a team 1- 17, using only ONE player PER club (with one club allowing 2 players to make up 17...the second player MUST be a bench player)

It has to be based on the 2022 roster (i,e you can't do historical and put players more known for their time at the Warrios, but spent a season or two elsewhere ie Clinton Toopi at the Titans). PURELY 2022.

1 James Tedesco (Roosters)
2 David Noafoluma (Wests)
3 Tommy Turbo (Manly)
4 Peta Hiku (Cowboys)
5 Josh Ado-Carr (Bulldogs)
6 Cameron Munster (Storm)
7 Nathan Cleary (Panthers)
8 Junior Paulo (Eels)
9 Josh Hodgeson (Raiders)
10 Addin Fonua Blake (Warriors)
11 David Fifita (Titans)
12 Tyson Frizell (Knights)
13 Jack De Belin (Dragons...I know...I know)

14 Mark Nicholls (Rabbits)
15 Payne Haas (Broncos)
16 Tohu Harris (2ND WARRIOR)
17 Nicho Hynes (Sharks)...versatility

I feel like you may have struggled to find a Wests player for your team

 

[jaseg]

Oooh I like this game.

AJ Brimson (Titans) - could also be Campbell, feel free to swtich if you add a 'no positional changes' rule
Maika Sivo (Eels)
Joseph Manu (Roosters)
Bradman Best (Knights)
Josh Addo-Carr (Bulldogs)
Cameron Munster (Storm)
Nathan Cleary (Panthers)
Addin Fonua-Blake (Warriors)
Damien Cook (Souths)
Josh Papalii (Raiders)
Josh Schuster (Manly)
Tariq Sims (Dragons)
Jason Taumalolo (Cowboys)

Jahrome Hughes (Stormx2)
Stefano Utoikamanu (Tigers)
Payne Haas (Broncos)
Wade Graham (Sharks) - thought about Finucane, decided on a true edge forward

Truth be told, I don't really watch them and needed to fill a hole.
Would Maumolo be a better shout?
