Team List [Round 5, 2022] - Warriors vs Cowboys TEAM LIST

[Makasene]

No Jazz hurts us

No Addin Fonua-Blake kills us - hopefully he is cleared.

I'm expecting nothing different to last years games against them.

Either team is capable of losing this in the last few minutes 🤣

 

[Wrighty]

Maaaate I feel you’re being pretty harsh on a few of the Cowboys players.

Dearden has started the season great, 6 try assists to Chanel Harris-Tavita’s 1. That’s not a tie

How anyone can chose Kodi over anyone at this stage is beyond me lol. On potential, yes. On likelihood of effort, hell no.

Cotter is also a good player and has probably played better than Pene this year.

I think it’s a lot closer than you’ve given credit…

Making those changes makes it 7 Advantages to the Cowboys and only 5 to the Warriors
if Addin Fonua-Blake comes back then it will be 7 to 6

Jazz has plead guilty and is out for two weeks only. Good call Jazz.

Yeah, this worries me. Soo much of the starch has been taken out of the pack, i's going to be interesting to see if anyone can step up and help Lodgey in the trenches there.

Maybe Lodge needs to play 55 minutes this week and lead the pack.

I wonder why they won’t elaborate what “knock” Addin Fonua-Blake has to where?

Because if he plays it’s wise not to let the opposition know where it is they should target you.

That part of the body might become a target for opposition. I don't think it sounds too serious however. I think if Addin is going to miss a game over the next month this will be the one to miss. Our players will have gained a bit of confidence and the spine will be playing together 2 weeks in a row. Also, a good opportunity for one of the other props to stand up. Hopefully Pene plays more game time. Put Katoa in the front row for this game!

Vodafone Warriors captain Addin Fonua-Blake is rated a slightly better chance of taking his place against North Queensland in Friday night's fifth-round NRL contest at Moreton Daily Stadium in Redcliffe (6.00pm kick-off local time; 8.00pm NZT).

Head coach Nathan Brown told the media today that his premier prop could neither be ruled out nor ruled in two days out from the match.

Mind games with the opposition? re: Addin Fonua-Blake

 

[Afakasi247]

It was so obvious why didn’t I think of that 🤦🏽‍♂️

In saying that - if bro does play and has his knee or shoulder heavily strapped, for example, it wouldn’t make a difference.

In ice hockey NHL during the playoffs everyone is listed on the injury sheet as "lower leg injury" even if they have a cut above their eye and everyone saw it happen.
Pretty ruthless though isn't it. So you are a good person Afakasi for not imagining that people would deliberately re-injure somebody. There are a number of NRL and NHL and NFL coaches who would direct an attack/take out to happen overtly to their team thug if they had that intelligence.
Jazz would probably be the hit man for our team if it came to that.

Rest him games 6 and 7 (against Rooster and Storm)

Not quite right, I believe they go with "upper-body" or "lower-body" injury.

At his core Toddy Payten is Cobra Kai. Brownie‘s right to take precautions.

Here are the ‘stats’ going into tomorrow nights game. The sides couldn’t be more evenly matched. It is a ‘home’ game for us, so the Cows will have had to endure a flight to Brissy which should help us as well as it’s the early game too.

When is captains run? Tonight or tomorrow morning?

Fonua-Blake given “50/50 chance” as Warriors look to conquer Cowboys

The Warriors may have to take on the Cowboys without their captain in Round 5.

www.sen.com.au

“So we’ve had to name him in the 24 because you have to name 24 players. He’s basically a 50/50 chance to play at this stage.


“He picked up a bit of a knock against the Broncos and wasn’t able to finish the game. He’s made some really good recovery in the front half of the week, we weren’t expecting him to play.

"We’ll give him all the way up until the captain’s run to improve his fitness because of his experience and the quality player he is, but as a group we’re preparing for him not to play, and if he plays it’s a nice little bonus for us.
