Team List NRL 2022 - Warriors vs Dragons TEAM LIST [Round 1, 2022]

and 3 pundits picking us as wooden spooners which seem harsh.

what else is new lol

Everyone is worried about our centre pairing, but no one mentions our halves defence in Kodi and Shaun Johnson??????

Shaun Johnson has improved in his defence, but he’s still vulnerable and will be a target to run at. Sharkies used to post him out towards the wing in defence.

Kodi was a speed bump and a shirt grabber in just about every game. So many missed tackles.

Now we have Kodi, Shaun Johnson and two rookie centres holding the line?

Chanel Harris-Tavita can tackle in close spaces with his shoulder charges. How good is he at defending open space ?

Its a worry.

The only query with SJs defence is his general health and fitness.

He was the best Defensive Warriors back of a generation when he left.

Shaun Johnson is an awesome tackler.

I have never seen Johnson as an awesome tackler. Thought tackling has always been the weakness in his game. Am a little worried if Johnson and Katoa are defending on the right edge together with Vailea.

From memory I think Suli and Lomax are both right centres? Not sure who will be swapping to the left, I assume Lomax will stay on the right? For us, Shaun Johnson mentioned in a podcast that he is pairing with Vailea, which I assume will be on the right hand side. If the above is correct it'll be Berry/Lomax and Vailea/Suli.

 

[Five&Last]

If the above is correct it'll be Berry/Lomax and Vailea/Suli.

This is correct based on the trials of both teams.

He’s not the speed bump that Kodi is. If someone is running straight at him, he’ll make the tackle more often than not.

His decision making in space is still a weakness. He’s not a liability on that end though as far as halves go. As long as they keep a compact D line and he doesn’t get stranded, he’ll go well.

Here’s training Photos from this week

Man this has to be the first time ive looked through the photos and everyone actually looks like they‘re a professional, fit and athletic NRL (except Ben Murdoch-Masila probly)

Soo keen to see how the boys go. That trial was a good start. lets get it boys!

 

[ramps]

Im concerned that the 2nd best fullback we have at the club is Chanel Harris-Tavita????

Dont think thats the case. I feel like were taking a different approach this year. Creating consistency.

They have a set game plan and play style they want to play this year. I bet a lot of it surrounds Walsh. So to fill the void without disruption to the team, Chanel Harris-Tavita has to be the obvious choice with his playmaking ability above the other options

Murchie replacement, Taylor reserve

What’s the difference between a replacement and a reserve?

 

[Dave Brough]

Far as I remember a replacement is for head knocks

 

[Waiting For Premiership]

From afar this squad has gone from easily led individuals, to easy to follow leaders.
