Pick Your Team Dragons v Warriors - [Round 10, 2025]

[CWC]

If only RTS were coming back round 10 we could chuck him in as the other centre. He is highly qualified to play there.

If he can come back I’d rather have

1. TT
2. DWZ
3. CNK
4. Pomps
5. RTS

 

[Five&Last]

1. TMM
2. TT
3. CNK
4. Pompey
5. DWZ
6. Chanel
7. Luka
8. Nuikore
9. Egan
10. Barnett
11. Leka
12. Capewah
13. Clark

14. Healy
15. Ford
16. Vaimaunga
17. Laban

Exact same team for me.

I don't think you can do better given the circumstances.

MGT as 18th man

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Hadn’t Suli been quite quiet thus far this season

Hes had his moment's. And when he decides to pull finger he is a scary site in full flight.

This game is an opportunity to get the season off to the best start we've ever had.

I hope this isn't lost on the boys, this weekend.

This game is definitely winnable, considering the win we just saw.

The extra incentive is raiders and dogs play each other this week so we can gain some ground on someone above us !

I dunno, I see Raiders getting up for this one.

Doggies have only played one team in th 8 so far and got towelled up (Broncos).

They're playing Raiders away, and will have a few players out from suspensions etc.
I see the Raiders winning that one, which means we'll still stay 3rd even with a win

 

[bomb to vats]

DWZ will be back

Yeah I also see raiders winning but that means we make ground on dogs with all 3 teams now losing 2 games for the season

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

It’s about time we start putting some points on the board to start getting our +/- on the right track. I find it hilarious reading comments stating we don’t deserve to be in the top 4 due to our even points differential.

 

[CWC]

Imagine the hype in Canberra if they take down the Dogs right after the Storm, win by 18 they top the table outright even without a bye

If it's raining it's highly winnable.

It's still weird to me that this true.

MGT as 18th man

MGT can’t be 18th man as he’s outside the top 30. Could only be Morgan Harper

Yea great timing for the Raiders vs Storm last week and now Radiers vs Dogs. More space from the teams below us the better. The way the comp is going I definitely feel like we could lose to any team at the moment.

 

[off the fence.]

Cnk
Tt
Pompey
Te maire martin
Dwz
Cht
Lmetcalf
Batnett
Egan
Niukore
Capewell
Halasima
Clarke

Vaimauga
Bunty
Healy
Laban

Was at the NSW Game on Sunday Warriors vs Bears.

Te maire was torching them on offence both running and ball play he is too good to be in there. Had I think four try assist running game was solid. If there is a spot in the team he's got to have it.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Interesting to see what is done with Healey since Laban is back this week from concussion. I would argue that the Berry injury would not have been as disruptive if Laban was on the bench. He would have come on and taken Capewah's second row spot after he shifted into the centres. This would have allowed us to leave Marata in the middle. The lack of lateral movement by Marata was a huge factor in the spacing issues that the cows exploited during the last quarter of the game.

It's Round 10, so he can.

It’s about time we start putting some points on the board to start getting our +/- on the right track. I find it hilarious reading comments stating we don’t deserve to be in the top 4 due to our even points differential.

this argument about our p/d is getting a bit tiring and kind of misses the bigger picture re what Webby is trying to build during the early rounds. People forget that after round 10, our pts differential in 2023 was actually worse: -7.

Like 2023, clearly Webby's strategy during the early rounds is to simplify our gameplan around rebuilding our defensive DNA. This is definitely the right approach when you consider i) our young halves pairing (which is the most inexperienced in the nrl) are still developing and learning to gel together and ii) we are still missing our triple banger attacking threats (DWZ, RTS). That's going to lead to a lot of 1-12 wins along the way.

Points will come as the triple bangers near returns and webby begins to turn his attention towards more sophisticated attacking shape. We've already seen that in the last 2 weeks: we've scored 28 pts on average during that period vs 20 before. We have 18 weeks to fix our p/d. We all need to just chill in the mean time and enjoy the ride.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

It's Round 10, so he can.

isn't the rule that he can be eligible AFTER round 10. That means the first game he is eligible for in round 11, not round 10.

I'm not sure exactly, I've been trying to find the actual rule.
