General Pick Your Team 2022 Rnd 22 - Warriors vs Bulldogs

[zaggo]

I'm nervous for Kosi and Walsh considering the incredible height Burton gets on his bombs - I can see them identifying our weakness in the air and absolutely raining them down on those two all game.

Given Katoa looks to be leaving I wouldn't bother giving him another run. Let's continue to see what Frei can do.

 

[Ref]

I am all in with youthful attack and nothing to lose.

Walsh
Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
Vailea
Montoya
Kosi
Volkman
Johnson
Addin Fonua-Blake
Egan
Lui- surely he is our 2nd best prop
Murchie
Curran
Harris

Katoa-I know he is probably leaving but...
Ale
Frei- looked okay the other day.
Otukolo.

No to Afoa, Aitken, Sironen, Pene. I can't see value in any of them at this point or next year.

Vailea
Berry

Someone mentioned Lui can't travel to NZ due to his vax status, anyone know if that's correct?

Heard that on a podcast but nothing concrete. Notably absent from both our 22 man squads that have played in NZ so far

Put a line through Volkman returning. Young fella out for the rest of the season.

We haven't had a good run with our halves this year. We started the year with Chanel Harris-Tavita, Nikorima and Taylor competing to partner Johnson. The other main question behind that was how many games we'd get out of Johnson. That has been less of an issue.

Unless Jones thinks out of the box again the only option left is Asi.

Bugger.

I suppose with only 4 games left for the club there's no point in trialling Walsh there either. Will be interesting if Stacey sticks with the Egan experiment or goes back to Asi. Lose-lose really.

Warriors: Chanel Harris-Tavita (knee), Jesse Arthars (quad) and Ben Murdoch-Masila (elbow) are all a chance of returning to action against the Bulldogs. Taniela Otukolo is free to play after accepting a fine for a crusher tackle against the Storm


Unbelievable that all that happened in the storm game and Otukolo is the one who’s got a fine.

 

[TheMorningEmu]

1. Harris-T
2. Watene-Z
3. Arthars
4. Montoya
5. Kosi
6. Volkman Asi
7. Johnson
8. Fonua-B
9. Egan
10. Kepu
11. Harris
12. Murchie
13. Curran
14. Lussick
15. Afoa
16. Frei
17. Katoa Kepu
18. Ale

Given the news the past couple days-
Asi in for Volkman.
Kepu in for Katoa.

If Chanel isn't healthy then I'd probably put Dallin Watene-Zelezniak in the back, Montoya to wing, and Vailea into centre. There aren't many people on our team I would trust under a Burton Bomb, but Dallin would be safest in my opinion.

I don't want to bother with Aitken, Katoa and Walsh anymore; Maybe throw Aitken back in against the Titans for the Spoon Final but that's it.
Murchie, Asi and Arthars probably wont be here next year either but there is a possibility so lets see what they have got. Murchie and Arthars are probably the most in-form at their positions anyway.

 

[Once A Warrior]

1 R Walsh
2 D W Zelezniak

4 V Vailea
5 E Kosi
6 D Asi
7 S Johnson
8 A F Blake

10 J Frei
11 J Curren
12 J Murchie
13 T Harris

14 F Lussick
15 B Afoa
16 D Lui
17 E Katoa

Can't be much worse then what's on display at the moment. Give these young guys a taste of playing at home, they deserve it.

Especially as he wasn't even playing in that game!

Biased pricks our players don't even play and they get suspended.

I'm still surprised Eagan wasn't suspended for putting his teeth in the way of NAS's elbow and obstructing his fall to the ground with his face.

Funny how just this week 360 was talking about how the Storm use these illegal tackle techniques. e.g. Hipdrop for one and get away with it.
