Team List NRL 2019 Round 8 - Warriors vs Knights TEAM LIST

[Wellington Warrior]

 

[AusWarriorsFan]

Nikora is a second rower. Xerri is the Sharks rookie centre.

My bad, but to be fair Locks are just big centres these days, but Nikora is not that big yet, reminds me of Herbert a LOT

 

[AusWarriorsFan]

"they have a lot of oppurtunities but nothing to show for, story of there season Blocka" lol, was that the Panthers or Warriors they talking about

 

[playdaball]

I can’t believe that Bunty has been dropped due to form. He offers so much coming from the bench

 

[razzrillinger]

Bunty had a niggle after the Storm game, can't remember whether they said it was calf or hamstring but it was definitely mentioned.

 

[jonno]

Bunty being dropped is all just a part of Kearney's player rotation.

He gives all his players a couple of games off during the season, so that they don't burn out, in the off chance that we actually make the finals.

 

[Tragic]

Pretty sure Afoa is hurt.

I would be too if they dropped me and Blair stayed in the team

 

[Swanny]

Yeah he didn't finish his stint in the Storm game. I think you are right that calf was what they reported from memory.

I heard hammy. Then again he might have a compassionate neck.

 

[ShaunJohnson7]

Damn Bunty better not have been dropped. I wont be happy with the 17 until Pulu and ideally Sao are in there. Has Kearney forgotten how good Pulu was on the left last season before he got hurt? It actually wouldnt surprise me if he had forgotten, dumb ass

 

[Aman]

Afoa was in doubt during the week. Carrying some leg injury . Not been dropped

 

[Warrior#214]

Will SK even give Hayze a run? Or is this one of his 3 man + backup waterboy benches?

 

[Onewarrior]

Yes Bunty won’t of been dropped, tight hamstring after Storm game.

I haven't forgotten how good Pulu is.


We could have this back row again. Harris on the right, where he's lethal, and Pulu on the left where he's devastating.

But instead Kearney want's to get himself fired by putting Pulu in as a middle forward and keeping Harris on the left where they are both a little uncomfortable and nowhere near as effective...

 

[wizards rage]

We are using 2 more players from our squad. And we were already the team that had used the most players.

Shows something wrong when the coach can’t settle on a first choice team. Too many players not performing

 

[wizards rage]

And not all injuries... lots tried and dropped

Absolute MUST win game tomorrow.

At home against a struggling Knights.

We have to put them to the sword.

Cannot go 2 wins 6 losses.

It will be unacceptable.

Thanks

Afoa dropped from the bench?

Didn’t see that coming.

At least my boy Satae will get a run. Hopefully more than just 5mins.

Good to not see Kata’s name either.

 

[shuffle]

Watching Satae the last game of Canterbury Cup he was very dominant and played long minutes. I’m hoping he will just go out there and play straight no hand brake no off load straight up the guts.
