Team List NRL 2016 Round 24 - Cowboys vs Warriors TEAM LIST

[Jordan G]

Where is it written that Jazz won't play?
Anybody think Lolo will take Kata's place at centre if he can't play?

TBH that was my first thought. Tui to centre, Hingano to the bench.

Who else do we have to play centre if Kata is out? Wright, Allwood? The cupboard is looking pretty bare.

Tui's in Auckland with the ISP side isn't he?

 

[Jordan G]

Tui's in Auckland with the ISP side isn't he?

Not the slightest clue. According to the team sheets he "should" be, but they always take a 18th and sometimes 19th man so without knowing who got on the plane it's all speculation at this point.

 

[Sledge]

No prop Prefers to start of the bench, he was misquoted all those years ago when that rumour started and he corrected it the same year, so it is wrong to say that Mutts prefers to start from the bench, in all his years in Wellington I can confirm that he NEVER preferred to start from the bench so lets end that assumption right now thanks.
We have become a dumping ground for overrated Aussie players think Mateo, Neilsen, Hoffman the list goes on, I have no problem with up untried and VALUE buys but not top dollar for the crap we have got, you can go all the way back to Platt and Betts (albeit from the UK) and see we have become marks for the NRL, and yet our talent becomes the buy of the season blah blah blah and I am fucken sick of it, Hoffman at top price do you think he is worth it??? be honest! I don't have a problem with Aussie players I loved Campion, I get that Aussies don't want to come to the Warriors but we don't have to buy for the sake of it, surely Thomson at less than HALF the price of Hoff was the better buy? Hoff gets more than Mannering wtf????!!! sorry but I am over it, we develop Maloney and he fucks off (Cronulla no hope of winning the title BTW) we get a sub standard Aussie coach why fucken bother, fuck bro I am tired of going over the same shit every week when our starting prop runs for all of 67 metres then of course he deserves a fucken spray when was the last time he Lillyman ran for 100 metres? he just happens to be an Aussie. Is Ayshford going to make a difference this week? tell me please? prove me wrong, do you really think we will win this week? be fucken truthful, last week we got owned do you think NQ will take it easy? I call it as I see it, I give it to the Kiwis also if they are playing shit, I am no fan of TL he is horrible I don't know why Ata wasn't started weeks ago give that Junior guy a run, where the fuck is Ali? injured? Ligi Sao? Lane? it seems that everyone is so SAFE in their starting position that they don't try Kiwi or Aussie, it's just that those Aussies are high profile and are doing Jack shit.

Add to that the over paid and overrated Matulino and your spot on.

Bodene...

 

[Jay M]

Bodene...

I may be wrong here, but I believe Mannering was a left centre once too...

(although I'd hate to see him moved out of the middle against that Cowboys pack)

Given they've left him back in Auckland I don't think he's a chance, they're obviously going to give Kata right up to the eleventh hour to prove his fitness.

I was surprised to see Hingano moved down to the U20's to make way for Lolohea in NSW cup when the sides were named at the beginning of the week I guess I figured they'd be playing together in the halves but given the Kata's fitness and the fact the U20's are playing the pre-match game in Townsville the coaches have obviously decided to bring him along as cover and if Kata fails his fitness test then he'll make his Nrl debut, good luck to him if he does.

 

[eric]

Bodene...

...with Afoa to start. Could very well happen.

 

[Defence]

Yeah we need manners in the middle for this one 100%
Bodene has a lot more pace than manners anyway ( although apparently he's an incredibly slow walker).
Not the first time this year I've pushed his case at center- we'll see what happens.

 

[Jordan G]

Bodene...

Rather than drawing it out over time Cappy should just go the full hog straight up.

1. Fusitua
2. Maumalo
3. Mannering
4. Thompson
5. Vatuvei

Big bodies, big bodies everywhere.

Bodene to center and Bunty to second row would be better than breaking up our Halves/Hooker combination and we wouldn't lose too much defensively, be a shame to break up the Bodene/Shaun Johnson combination though.

I'm also at the stage where I'd prefer Bodene at centre over Tui...

I follow the club on most forms of media and I couldn't see Tui, Allwood or Wright in any of the photos or videos from today. They could well be hiding somewhere. After last week though, I'm thinking Tui didn't travel.

Yeah, I'm thinking we would've heard something through the media if Tui had been spotted and if they did take him then Hingano would've stayed in Auckland with the cup side.

 

[diehard]

Cappy said earlier in the year that Ata may get a run at FG later in the year. Guess this is it. TL to hooker and Ata at 6. This late in the year, and Cappy is moving guys around?

Would be but Shaun Johnson and bunty seemed to hit the ground running last time

Your not wrong, he ran through a couple yawning gaps and scored 2 tries, how easy's first grade. Seriously though he has picked it up quicker than many.

Yep, and then Cappy sent him back down to the B team. Or made him 18th man.

It looks like he might deliver on everything ikahihifo promised

Just needs to work on his spin move....

 

[kurgal]

Warriors just need to capitalise on an out-of-sorts Cowboys side for the win
