Warriors team to take on Eels - Confirmed

[Brad Joyce]

cooper is a center tho, not a fullback.

why do they have to play out of position ??

He played fullback to the Tamaki Leopards last year, and has played mostly on the wing when he's played for the Warriors.

A trial is a bit different than playing a full season there.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Mannering will prove that he is top class this weekend.

The Wittrelli combo is sure to be magic:

A niggling back injury to Jerome Ropati, who had started to shrug off the utility tag by establishing himself in the five-eighth role last season, means Witt has been handed the No 6 jersey.

Witt, who impressed in the trial against the Bulldogs, was grateful for getting the first shot at what is his preferred spot.

"That's the reason I came to the Warriors," he said.

"I've got the first crack at the position so the ball's in my court and if I keep playing well I'll continue to be picked there."

Witt said his partnership with halfback Grant Rovelli was one of the areas of his game he was looking to fine-tune.

"Me and Grant hang out a lot off the field, so that makes things a lot easier," he said.

"We talk a lot about the game and I think our combination has been good so far."
