Pick Your Team 2021 Rnd 12 - Cowboys vs Warriors

Promotions?
Demotions?
Any new injury concerns?
Any returning players?
Any tweaks to the bench?

Discuss...

 

[nakiproud]

Caveat to my vote.. Only if that means Walsh is in the team also... If its a case of fullback or not in the team at all then I will pick Walsh to be the fullback

 

[kbazi]

Expecting pretty much the same team due to lack of forward depth, injury and suspensions. Winning this game would be huge for us going into a bye. We'd be sitting pretty on 14 points with the possibility of Addin Fonua-Blake to come into the team.

- Walsh to start at fullback but still wearing the 17 Jersey (let Roger Tuivasa-Sheck always wear 1 if fit)
- Berry to replace Montoya
- Any forward rotation at this point to get the win... they're all lemons apart from Tohu Harris and a somewhat underdone Murchie
- Expecting Jazz and Eli to be suspended for next week
- Hindsight is 20/20 and looks like Curran was one of our better forwards
- Round 14 hopefully Addin Fonua-Blake is available

Katoa's spear tackle didn't look flash so am expecting him to be out. Jazz not so bad but to do a couple of high shots in one game might not be good for his chances. With Curran likely being at least another week away and Sironen out indefinitely it puts us very thin in the second row/lock options. If none of those guys can feature I'm Expecting a 21 as follows:

1 Walsh
2 Tuivasa-Sheck
3 Pompey
4 Aitken
5 Montoya
6 Nikorima
7 Harris-Tavita
8 Taunoa-Brown
9 Egan
10 Afoa
11 Murchie
12 Murdoch-Masila
13 Harris

14 Tevaga (Otukolo to debut if Jazz is suspended)
15 Evans
16 Ah Mau
17 Ale

18 Berry (probably a switch with Montoya on gameday)
20 O'Sullivan
21 Otukolo
22 Frei

Agree with that team except I reckon you need to start Evans. Jamayne Tounua-Brown and Afoa aren't performing that well at the moment.

pretty sure ale is hurt out right now.

 

[jonesy101]

pretty sure ale is hurt out right now.

Just checked and he has a niggle with his ankle which is bad timing. That puts us in a real predicament if both Jazz and Katoa get suspensions. We might need to play Frei or Petterson-Robati just to field a 17 at this rate.

Montoya and Tunoa-Brown dropped.

 

[pompower]

Really shit that Katoa is probably going to be suspended. He wasn't great last night but I thought he provided impact in attack, and he still wasn't anywhere near as bad as Curran was against the Sea Eagles. Feel like he just needs a run of games to get back to it.

Would like to see Ben Murdoch-Masila on the bench to come on for Murchie on the right edge. Should help both of them given Murchie looks a little underdone fitness-wise. Not sure we can do that this week though, given our injuries. Would prefer if Montoya was dropped — sure, he provided a little more mobility than Ken, but made a couple of crucial mistakes and we have better long-term options.

1. Walsh
2. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
3. Aitken
4. Berry
5. Pompey
6. Nikorima

Yeah I heard the good news.

I would drop him after that game provided one of Curran or Siro are fit.

No no no no to dropping Montoya,

He scored two nice trys, what do you people want?

Next week he will not bumble it in the in goal....

Walsh gave away an identical try.

Yet the Montoya Bulldog bias is king around here.

 

[Billy Teets James]

He scored two nice trys, what do you people want?

To be able to use his brain & pass to his support runner in Walsh with clear space ahead of him. And not kick the ball aimlessly to nowhere. To be able to pick up a gubber, and not fumble it 20 times to let the opposition score. Fall on it buddy.. If ken can get mocked to death. He can get it too.

But I'd keep him for now lol.
Balance. 2 nice tries. 2 howlers.

Oh yeah the pass inside that Ken and Fusitua always use.

Got it.

Sack the cu** and bring back ball playing Ken or Berry. Sorry bro not aimed at you...aimed at all the numbskulls who think dropping Montoyta means we will play someone that makes that pass....someone who has never appeared at the Warriors but yeah...that guy that does not actually exist should take that chumps jersey...becausse who doesn't like playing with imaginary friends?

Yeah, the shit kick was Pompey bro ....

but yeah, I reckon we drop him for Pompey to wing and Berry to centre....

fucking useless cu**. Aye Sup42 😉

Nah, That break Montoya made & had Walsh in support and should have passed, But kicked instead was Montoya brother.

Yeah, I'd rather have Montoya & Pompey on the wings & Aitken(For now. I still don't rate him 😂) Berry in the centers. If they persist with Walsh at FB(I think he should be in the halves) I'd have Roger at centre with Berry. Just a waste out there. Get him a little closer to the action.

I guess my beef with Aitken is. All wingers outside him will look mud if he doesn't pass lol. Lucky we have wonderboy with that cut out pass of his that can skip Aitken out 😂 Defensively hes alright. Made some good reads. Got run over a few times & rushed in when he didn't need too. I rate him a 5 1/2 out of 10 defensively.
Offensively, i rate him a 3/10 lol.
Plenty of time to win me over tho.

Montoya and Tunoa-Brown dropped.

What a team!...

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Don't think anyone played bad enough to be dropped unless its for an obvious stronger player.

So Addin Fonua-Blake if fit for Jamayne Tounua-Brown my only change.
