you missed a hyphon.

Looking at injury list on nrl.com, they have DWZ down with a head knock, but I can't see CNK on there so maybe he'll be ready? I have my doubts as to whether Montoya will be ready.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

CNK in if he’s ok. Would prefer RTS in the centres as otherwise we’ll have two rookies there. SJ and Mai’u both possibilities too

 

[Leber]

Apparently both Montoya and dwz might be out.

dunno about CNK

Going on Friday night's performance there wouldn't be too much between the ears to worry about.

Another week, another backline reshuffle it seems.
Assuming CNK is in and they’re both out:

1: RTS
2: MGT
3: Leiataua
4: Pompey (if fit)
5: Kosi
6: CHT
7: TMM/SJ (but not both as a combo)
8: AFB
9: Egan
10: Barnett
11: Niukore
12: Capewell
13: Walker

14: Lussick
15: Afoa
16: Tevaga
17: Halasima

if Pompey is out Walker to the centres, Jazz to 13 and Ale or Mai’u to the bench. Would rotate Halasima into the centres from the bench but would hesitate starting a rookie centre combo

 

[Leber]

I doubt Pompey will be fit.

if no cnk, Pompey and no wingers, then setu tu might get a run.

Though, if he got the head knock early & it was missed, that might explain the poor performance...

oh that explains it ! All those defensive frailties we have seen this, and previous years, are due to early head knocks that go undetected..... j/ks

 

[sup42]

So expect some defensive leaks in the first twenty.

Hopefully from there we can do what we did against the Raiders and find sync and start locking it down.

When you have a rejigged line up you face challenges of getting them to work as a group.

We see this phenomena time and time again with the Kiwis in tournament play, except the Warriors do not have the luxury of being thrashed game one to build into it.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

This year that has definitely been a factor. Roosters and Raiders games the obvious ones. Defensive communication takes time to get sorted

 

[Meth]

I heard Montoya is fit, CNK another week

100 percent this.

not sold on sj golf kicking but will
Prob have no choice.

 

[Meth]

I heard SJ was another week away but I am overseas so may miss something

 

[vvvrulz]

An aside, I was down in memory lane (don't ask) and ended up on the famous 2-4 loss to the mighty Fiji.

Take a look at our halves, winger and fullback combination!




Needless to say they did NOT gel that world cup, I didn't realise there's a bit of history there.

In other fun facts, we were led by the gutsy & inspirational Adam Blair - and on the opposite wing was a certain Marcelo Montoya along with a pretty stacked cast of Uate, Koroisau, Kikau & Hayne.

[Izz]

So no head knock for DWZ? Interesting to see Setu Tu in the reserves...
