Team v Raiders

[Izz]

I'll give it a go-

1- Nicoll-Klokstad
2- Tauipiki
3- Pompey
4- Capewell
5- Tuivasa-Sheck
6- Harris-Tavita
7- Metcalf
8- Ford
9- Egan
10- Stowers-Smith
11- Halasima
12- Laban
13- Clark

Res- Healey, Ale, Niukore, Vaimauga

Like it, though I'd start Niukore at prop with Ford coming off the bench

/agree. i much prefer him coming off the bench.

Yeah, I guess I'm just trying to position Ford as Barnett's replacement in terms of minutes

Hudson young gone for Raiders. Horsburgh not picked. Capewell not included. And they will still have Tapine and Papalii for us to have to deal with. Their backs looked good too v Titans.

Guess a few young fellas gunna get a run but this could be ugly again....

Yea massive test this one. Young is obviously a loss but other than Nicholson (and Hopoate since the start of the year), they're at full strength.

We'll do well to stay in the fight. First game at Mt Smart for a few weeks though.. hopefully helps lift the lads.

Shame we will be hamstrung for this one.

The Raiders are strong, even with the outs, so frequently underrated by fans, Sticky is doing a good job with them.

The issue for the Warriors is obvious. How do we keep this defence of ours with Barnett missing and JFH out, and how do we maintain our yardage with those two being the main engine of the Warriors.

Well we have done it without JFH, but taking Barnett out is a step too far.

Still, what else is there but for our brave little band of battlers to go out there one more time against the bully and stand up?

I will be happy if we compete.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Yeah, I think this one is heading for an inevitable L, but I've thought that at times this year...and we thought that with a million out last year v the Panthers and Phins.

FO DWZ.

I honestly feel he's the polar opposite to Brent Tate.

Tate - for me anyway, was a player that I really didn't like (wouldn't go as far as say hate). That was UNTIL he joined us, then instantly he became one of my favorites.

DWZ is the exact opposite. I enjoy(ed) watching him when he was playing for other clubs but I really don't like him for us.

Probably because he was hugely overpaid, couldn’t defend to save his life and was a mistake machine? Always good to see other clubs saddled with that…

PS. I still think we can get a result here.
We've done most the season without JFH tbf. Barnett is a big loss, but I don't necessarily think that we should be aiming just to be competitive.

Big ask at home, but if I were a betting man, I'd still put money on us.
