Team Lists


So they leave katoa out, he signs with another team then we bring him back… 🤔
Last week no asi because we’re trying to win games- guess we don’t want to win this week?
I’ve given up trying to work out what they’re thinking with the line ups we’ve been putting out- it’s all very odd.
Your post is the Financial Times cryptic cross word clue to 7 down.
The answer is "Sanity Prevailing"

Katoa is back as it was down to him or Ale or Sironen.

OK this is a forum game called last man standing.
In each of the remaining 4 teams lists I will post a question. Those that make a correct guess get to participate next week and so on until there is "one man left standing"

To enter you need to quote my post this week and answer the following Question

"In the match this week Will Katoa either drop/knock on a pass or spill the pill due to poor ball security when being tackled? (Yes or No)"

Go

Anyone have Sironen’s win rate at the Warriors?

The guy tries but gets beaten physically on both sides of the ball and puts the whole team under pressure and on the back foot. 95kg is to just to small for a modern second rower.
No its not too small.
Radley/Cam Murray/ Jazz/ Nathan Brown would either weigh less or not much more (by memory)

Sironen should move to centres. He would go decent there we had a choice between Murchie and him once for centre and errantly chose Jack.

A smaller forward can play lock like those guys are best at. Locks can be explosive or rugged or skilful and pull it off. Sironen is none of those things.

Second rowers need to be big and powerful. Hit the holes. Cover the halves as well as their own man in defence. Sironen is not that either.

He could be a centre if anything (although he’s slow) or a multi-positional 14.

Berry is on the books for next year, Walsh and Asi are not. Berry could be a revelation at the back so we should try him which leaves the 6 jumper as a toss up between the other two. I pick Walsh.
OK I see your point. Would prefer we gave Berry experiment a go in a week against a top 8 team where we are a long shot and nothing to lose.

Eg in three weeks we play the panthers we have zero chance of winning so play him then??
 
The wooden spoon is not so bad as long as you are doing proactive stuff for next year.
I would accept the spoon if there are long term benefits. Last weeks positional line up and personals was late 90s bad memory recall that I thought I had suppressed. I like this weeks squad and omissions heaps better.

Or maybe he is always the head knock position 18 since so versatile but you don't want to waste a spot on him.
