With the finals now looking out of reach this season, I'd like to create a thread to ease the disappointment we've felt throughout 2024. Here are some changes I'd like to see for the Warriors in the 2025 season.
1. Metcalf to halfback. (SJ to retire.)
2. RTS moves to fullback.
3. CNK moves to 5/8. (Running half with good linkage play.)
4. Mitch Barnett remains captain, Tohu still in leadership team but he will be playing his last season.
5. Roache starting hooker. (Egan to retire.)
6. CHT is our utility interchange #14
7. Lineup 2025:
01: RTS.
02: DWZ.
03: Leiataua.
04: MGT.
05: Tuaupiki. (gk2)
06: CNK.
07: Metcalf. (gk1)
08: JFH.
09: Roache.
10: Barnett. (c)
11: Niukore.
12: Capewell.
13: Harris (vc)
14: CHT. (gk3)
15: Ford.
16. Halasima.
17. Laban.
8. Better attaching variation, especially fifth tackle plays.
9. More communication to improve team cohesion on attack and defence.
10. Defensive line speed to improve.
11. Webster to trust our youngsters more and select form over experience players.
I can see a few people disagreeing with SJ and CNK/RTS changes, however I cannot fake how I feel what should be.
