Post Match Pre Season Trial 2- Warriors vs Storm

[MrFrankWhite]

Webster loves Ford though, he'll be there somewhere guaranteed!

Hes a hybrid backrower / prop who can play 80mins. Thats incredibly rare

Do you think ford did enough yesterday to say pick me?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Do you think ford did enough yesterday to say pock me?

Does he need to?

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Does he need to?

I think when i listen to webby and he says form in the trials can earn you a spot, then I think others are ahead.

Walker
Afoa
Sifakula
Healey

Is the best balance. But i feel like the younger guys are willing to open the game up a bit and give the ball some air.

So to me I think that suits Ale over bunty. I would love to have Halasima over Healey but feel that's a huge risk given we could lose Egan at any point.

 

[kos]

No to Ford. He only makes this team if we are missing one of our starters Barnett or Harris.

Have pick Healey surely, covers Egan and lock at a pinch. Egans head knocks just has to be covered.

14 D Walker
15 D Vaimauga
16 T Ale
17 S Healey

I think Ale is so useful i think bunty would be so unlucky to miss out but this is a huge year for Ale, and i want webby to give him every chance.

Tohu Harris
Did u not hear?

Halasima is the next Leniu

Halasima is the next Leniu

He definitely seems like a star in the making

From yesterday my startung tean
CNK
TT
Ali
CHT
RTS
TMM
LM
JFH
Egan
Barny
Laban
Marata
Clarke

Walker
Halasima
Demetruc
Ale/Afoa

CHT is capable, strong defender provides utility cover left foot kicker.

 

[Warriorsfan92]

I didn’t see enough from ale. Bunty over ale for me without a doubt

 

[Playdaball]

Put Ford on the wing !

 

[Dannevegas]

What do we think of this:

CNK
TT
POMPEY
LEIATAUA
RTS
CHT
METCALF
FISH
EGAN
BARNETT
NIUKORE
CAPEWELL
CLARK

WALKER
FORD
VAIMAUGA
LABAN/AFOA/HALASIMA

We’ve actually got insane depth. I really want halasima, bunty & ale in there but based off of experience and pre season trials, maybe this is the best line up? Unless Niukore starts on an edge & bunty/halasima are in the 17 over Laban. I really liked the look of Laban in the all stars though. Only critique would be his 54m in 55 min, but his 26 tackles for 1 miss against nrl quality opposition is a huge tick.

Get rid of Pompey and Capewell and I like it, there’s nothing happening on that edge with them 2 there

People commenting on TMM at fullback is interesting.

We’ve had Tuaupiki, RTS, DWZ and now TMM all full in at fullback and all with great reviews.

Perhaps it hints at something we’re missing with CNK there?

 

[Brightman]

Halasima is the next Leniu

What an insult! Leniu is overrated and one dimensional, Halasima will be twice the player..

I agree, he’ll be twice the player. Zyon Maiu’u gives me Leniu vibes

Exactly

 

[Dannevegas]

Halasima is the next Leniu

Way better

CNK is a workhorse. They are needed in the team for sure but most of the top teams have a creative fullback.

Tedesco
Edwards
Paps
Turbo
Walsh

CNK will get you 200m+ a game. Defends well too but he's just a bit safe.

Not that valuable if he isn't starting which he isn't

Also has a lot of concentration issues (basic handling errors and lazy penalties etc) for a so called 80 minute player.

Pretty useless having the fitness for 80 minutes if the rest of your game can't handle 80 minutes.

 

[Five&Last]

Halasima is the next Leniu

That would be an absolute disaster if he ended up at Leniu's level.

Kind of disrespectful to Halasima's talent.

The coaching staff need to be drilling into Leka that he can legitimately be the best forward in the comp within 3-4 years if he works hard.
