Id probably just swap Jazz for Evans in the reserves but all good otherwise, When is Pompey back?

available next week, I think

 

[SmashEmBro]

Unpopular opinion - we’re a better team with out Roger at fullback. Hell of a player and one of my favourites of all time, but the way the Warriors have used him has meant he’s largely ineffective. He’s too easy to shut down as other teams know what he’s going to do.

Give him roving commission on the Wing or at Centre. Walsh to FB and SOS in to the halves

 

[Izz]

Sad for CHT to get hurt yet again but his injury should make it easier for Brown to field an attacking team.

The more i think about it the more i think CHT should play at hooker. He's got a decent footy head on him he just lacks a kicking game & doesn't make great decisions two out from the ruck. Seems to make better decisions in the ruck imo. Just needs to add a little more bulk to his frame

 

[Sanchez]

Id give Sironen first crack at 9 given i doubt he moves Nikorima with CHT out. Plenty of 2nd row options
SOS to 7, RTS to the wing since Kosi doesnt seem ready for top grade, Montoya other wing, Walsh to FB

 

[Fufu Andronez]

1. Walsh
6. Rts
7. Kodi
9.???

I honestly wonder how CHT came through the grades so highly touted? He’s physical, decent support player - but seemingly physically incapable of basic halves tasks like kicking the ball high enough for a proper bomb, or passing the ball accurately? Like, how did no-one notice this when they decided to groom him as our next 7? Or since?

 

[Rich102]

He's Kiwi and cheap. Plus we don't develop players, just buy them in. Let him go to the Storm for three years.

 

[nswarrior]

Put Walsh in at 6 - he has a decent kick atleast

 

[Leber]

I dont think Otokulu is ready.

But we have few options there.

Might be Jazz/Bayley at 9/14.

 

[Leber]

I’d go...

1 RTS
2 pompey
3 aitken
4 berry
5 montoya
6 walsh
7 nokorima
8 AFB
9 sironen
10 evans
11 murchie
12 curran
13 harris

14 SOS
15 BMM
16 afoa
17 LAM

 

[hitro]

certainly going to be interesting today to see who Brown picks at hooker. Please not Jazz

LOL - Jazz at 9 has been named.

Townsend was worse than that and the Warriors brought him over. Some people just don't adjust to first grade, or like Townsend take a while and then do it at another club.

 

[Sanchez]

Not sure what Murchie does wrong to keep getting dropped

 

[Benek]

Jazz at 9.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Ponga, Pearce, Hunt & Klemmer back for the Knights.

of course they f***king are

 

[nswarrior]

Ponga, Pearce, Hunt & Klemmer back for the Knights.

of course they f***king are

i am glad they are back

no point getting our hopes up by beating a B team. If we can’t beat Newcastle we don’t deserve to be in the finals anyway
