Team v Storm

[Meth]

Bye week in between now and the next game, which is a great chance to get refreshed.

No judiciary issues out of last night.

Don't know of any major injuries.

RTS and DWZ still out.

Only change is possibly Berry for Kosi, should he be fit? Not sure how bad his hamstring is

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Pending any injuries in training, I'd run with the same team honestly.

Even if Berry is fit, I'd rather him get a runout with the reserves to really test out that hammy. Kosi was okay (didn't think I'd be saying that in 2025)

I'd prefer to see Laban get a run over Capewell, but that isn't gonna happen.

 

[Big Marn]

Leka looked pretty good on the wing. Just saying...

Kosi marking Coates. Good on ya

 

[Big Marn]

Kosi cant play against the Storm again. Ever.

Reckon we need a hooker on the bench cos Bellamy will know that Egan is making most of the play and NAS (dog) will be on mission to hurt him

Even they wouldn't sink that low, would they?

 

[hitro]

Yep

If we were on top..anything's possible..they hate losing.

Rocco's looked ok in the 2 NSWRL games I've seen him this year..but nothing like his form last year pre injury..
I was really impressed with Kosi v Tigers..
Think our bench will be pretty important v Storm..

I'd stick with Kosi. He's going to need more games to improve. Webster also tends to stick to a winning team. Berry still looks suspect on his nerve injury (He's looked half himself this year even with the NSW team) now has the hamstring issue. I'm not a Kosi defender and I get he's going to mark Coates and play vs. Storm where he played like garbage last year. Imagine if he played another solid game and redeemed himself? That'll be a cool story and confidence booster for the most hated Warrior player on the current roster.

[Wheeled Warrior]

The only changes I'd like to see even though Webster usually keeps a winning team unchanged. I'd drop Afoa and Capewell.
Include Healy on the bench to debut and cover Egan or be injected late in the game to give us something fresh.
Laban to takeover Capewell and prove that he should be in our first-grade team.

01: CNK.
02: Tuaupiki.
03: Leiataua.
04: Pompey.
05: Kosi.
06: CHT.
07: Metcalf.
08: JFH.
09: Egan.
10: Barnett.
11: Laban.
12: Niukore.
13: Clark.

14: Healy.
15: Ford.
16: Vaimauga.
17: Halasima.

18: Ale.

I hate the bye.Don't know how to plan the weekend......my missus probably doesn't. Last week, she says, "I like the Warriors playing late on Sundays, that means when they lose it doesn't wreck the whole weekend." WT....

 

[Leber]

We either keep the same team or berry comes back and pushes pompey to wing.

choosing between Kosi and Pompey is like choosing if you’d rather have herpies or syphilis.

 

[Evil_Mush]

Even they wouldn't sink that low, would they?

I mean, there is precedent of NAS breaking Egans face without real consequence, so can't rule it out.

We got enforcers in our team that will murder NAS if he lives up to his grub reputation.

JFH, Barnett Niukore and even young pups Vaimauga & Halasima.

NAS best keep it clean or else he will have trouble.

 

[Evil_Mush]

Hah, while that sounds exciting would also result in half our team getting sin binned or put on report, and NAS getting max Dally M points probably

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

What’s all this about Kosi v Melbourne last year or vs Coates? He didn’t play Melbourne last year, he’s never marked Coates in his career, and in his last 2 games against Melbourne he has scored a total of 3 tries and his opposite number has scored 0. He’s a Melbourne specialist.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Not to mention, when Kosi was on the opposite side of the field to Coates in 2022, Coates ran in 4 tries past DWZ.

It’s all telling me Kosi is the hero we need.

Edit: Unfortunately this is totally wrong as the footage confirms it was Coates who torched him repeatedly on his day of infamy

My bad. I think I got it mixed up a bit there.
Thanks for the correction but he didn't play well and gave up on chasing on defence in 2023.
DWZ is a poor defender when it comes to coming off his line. I'd actually feel safer with Kosi as he doesn't come off his wing.

How good was Pompey's try on Sunday though! It was a great effort. Mean step and power.
