[NZ Warrior]

Don't care, the Warriors aren't gonna ruin my Saturdays any more!

 

[Aragorn]

Luck isnt an impact player - dont know why he's on the bench.. Henry and Taylor together in the forwards at the same time... shrudder....

Luck is nowhere near NRL match fitness yet......give him a bloody chance

but wasnt his injury a thumb? - he should be as fit as a fiddle if he's been working on the tread mill, swimming or rowing machine.... or does an injured thumb prevent you from doing all this?

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Shoulder.

It's a fair point though, I don't see Luck's value as a 40-50min player. Once we're out of contention, ie now, he deserves a run though. He deserves to go out a Warrior, not a Vulcan.

However, I will not be watching.

 

[Juju]

Tui over Godinet is quite a big call don't you think.

To me Godinet is definitely the most capable if you compare them right now. You can't say Carlos's form for the Jnrs has been outstanding

 

[Aragorn]

I fully get the blooding of our juniors to FG, but Bluey's overkilled it.

That's what happens when you have the U20 coach sitting next to him in the box!

 

[Aragorn]

Warriors better recruit some experience in the off-season otherwise we're farked for 2013...

 

[JoeD]

Taai 18th man last week, we lose a prop and he's dropped off?

 

[Evil_Mush]

For the record, how many Juniors (i.e. juniors this year or last year) have made their FG debuts this year?

- Ben Henry
- Konrad Hurrell
- Omar Slaimankhel
- Sam Lousi
- Sebastine Ikahihifo
- Carlos Tuimavave


FYI, Juniors 2010 (so still relatively inexperienced)

- Shaun Johnson
- Bill Tupou
- Sione Lousi
- Glen Fisiiahi
- Elijah Taylor


Am I missing anyone?

Godinet.

 

[SilentOne]

what the hell is Packer doing on the bench? He's been one of our most consistent forwards lately... f**k sake.

Probably so when someone comes off....We have someone of note to put on!

 

[Warmess]

We better hope Hurrell makes it through unscathed (good f**kin luck there) cause that bench has 0 cover. I'm guessing if he does go down it'll have to be Mateo -> 6, Tui -> Centre.

Really not a fan of benches like that. I'd like to see Godinet on there and Luck in the starting lineup. If he has to come off cause he's gassed, so be it, but imo he's a starter, at the very least.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Is the Fish injured ?

I see no point in playing Locke in his current state

 

[Scott]

I honestly think it is worth trying Elijah Taylor at centre (left).

I see no point in playing Brown there due to the fact he can't/won't pass the ball.

He filled in last year in the GF, and I can't believe he hasn't spent time there in 2012.

Just saying.

An injured Locke is still better than Fish.

 

[Guvner]

Who kicks goals?
