Gameday Bulldogs vs Warriors - [Round 18, 2024]

[Warriorshopeful]

NSW cup live on sky sport from 2:35, Halasima ruled out of NSW cup and as he's currently 19th man would guess the rumors of him debuting could be true?

Either him or Tuaupiki (potentially both) into the 17 to take Bunty's spot

I've never been Buntys biggest fan but I think we can only have one replacement for him, not two

i would have him on the bench over Ford. At least you know what you'll get out of him

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Anyone know a spot in Nadi or Denerau Island where they play the NRL?
I don't wanna faf around too much as I want to see the Mighty NZ Warriors smash these pretenders.

Really hoping Leka takes one of the bench spots and he smashes a few Dogs over.

Wahs by 4

Local golf course close to radison blue. There is a pub there with fox sport.

Rugby could be on though?

It's called Heineken house! Good luck!

Looks like Bunty is playing NSW cup today.Halasima to debut it seems

 

[Beastmode]

[defensivebomb]

Did ale get a week off after the judiciary? I assume so, but couldn’t find whether he fought the charge or not

I’ll be watching those 5 minutes with interest!

One Warrior fades

Another rises

Go well young man. Take your opportunity and make the most of it.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Very interesting game this.

Bulldogs confident and in form, we're on the back of a win and should be pretty desperate to bank 2 points.. Hard one to pick.

like all the changes tbh. Walker providing ruck speed in the middle, the TMM and CHT combo which looked good last week another another chance to see what they can do, the talk of moving Roger to get the best use out of him (jurys still out wether the wing is that best position for him tho) and mostly looking foward to see if Halasima can match somewhat of the ability plenty have earmarked him as.

Havent had the oppertunity to watch him much but heard plenty of good things, i assume in the Eli Katoa mould? Will be exciting to see if it is. Good luck to the kid.

He’s much smaller and more mobile than Katoa. I would say Laban is more comparable to Katoa

 

[ToiletDuck]

Interesting inclusion, though it'll all be for nothing if he brings him on with the game gone and 5 mins to go. AW isn't one to take many risks, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case.

Is it normal, final team list is posted 2hrs before kick off? On warriors insta

So do you think Barnett will move to the edge once Marata goes off? He’s been only averaging 50ish minutes per game this season

More of a natural athlete than Katoa. He isn't as tall, but is probably a little more solid than when Katoa first arrived on the scene.
Super strong and wicked balance.

Is still very young - so will be fizzed, but let's not judge him solely on this game (however long he gets). Will be a weapon in our pack for years to come I reckon.

Probably. Ford is another option given he has played most of his career there. Jazz or Barnett could spend time at 13. He juggles them all around a fair bit.

Could we see lussick and Egan on at the same time?
