Res- Ale, Sifakula, Barnett, Metcalf

 

[Hov]

Is Ford out due to potential suspension? I like that Metcalf is available and would be tempted to start him straight away as he is class.

 

[Leber]

Are Barnett and Metcalf both available? I thought they were a few weeks away.

We need another attacking option alongside SJ. Need to take advantage of his rich vein of form, Walker is serviceable but is more effective in the middle in short spurts.

I'd be very tempted to chuck Metcalf straight in.

 

[Izz]

Is Ford out due to potential suspension?

Nah, just copped a fine. He might be out due to HIA protocols, though

 

[Meth]

I think Ford got a head knock, didn't he? He was charged and fined. In any event, I see Ford as being a depth signing. We got excited about him early on because he surprised a bit. I think he has some upside and we assumed some of the less-exciting parts of his game would be ironed out in the first few rounds, but it's round 10 and I think they're getting worse, not better. So, I'll never really select him when we have a fuller compliment- Curran, Niukore and Harris keep him out every day of the week IMO

On Metcalf, yeah, due back- I would have him start off the bench.

 

[Meth]

This is a must win, IMO

We're outside of the 8 and we've lost 3 that we probably assumed we would have. It would have been nice to win one of them. I'm glad we weren't pumped in any of them. But ideally, we'll be clawing back 6 points over the next month

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Definitely need to try something in the halves, 6 points in 2 weeks is an issue

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Team is staying in Australia after magic round, hopefully that helps, being in camp.

Roosters game was played in a creek, so I wouldnt be too concerned with that one.

Definitely should have scored more points against Penrith though. SJ needs a bit of help.

Doggies are dangerous, they try things from their own half with Burtons kicking game and have speed with Averillo. Could be a shootout.

Yes, though to be fair, relatively low-scoring games on both occasions, conditions in 1 game and playing against the best defensive side in the comp in the second.

 

[Blair]

In a race against time I'm hoping to attend my first Warriors game since September 2018.

I've got the cold everyone else has. You don't recover overnight.

 

[nswarrior]

Let’s see who is out but I would like to see Barry in centres if Kosi is out. Vailea has had a couple of chances but keeps making same defensive mistakes

 

[Leber]

Can Tuaupiki play wing?

 

[JJ]

If Metcalfe is the future the Dogs are a good side to play him against, and Walker better suited elsewhere

 

[GoSouths]

Can Tuaupiki play wing?

Can he play hooker?

 

[Leber]

Can he play hooker?

No. And we should be fine for hooker.
