Pick Your Team Sharks v Warriors - [Round 14, 2025]

[sydneywarrior92]

Wankers wouldn’t let him go early and never played him

did the same thing with Townsend. Never played him and stole him back as soon as he started playing well for us.

We’ll make some wahsabi sushi of them

 

[WHB]

Getting smoked 3 times by AJ can't be swept under the carpet.
Great in every other area tonight but that's 18 points - the DWZ try = 14 points.
Probably be in game Day team.

 

[Beastmode]

Same team

If Barney and Rocco out injured
Then Bunty and Ali In.

If Ali is injured, Capewell to center, Laban in

This is Webbys system for success
Predictable but it’s working

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Webby's probably has studied closely how the sharks got done by the dogs earlier this year at shark park. Our joint style can work against them. If the tigers can get them, so can we. With the bye the week after, we can absolutely empty the tank this week and give them hell.

 

[mrblonde]

Same team - maybe Ford for Barnett - and I love Mr Metcalf for what he's doing at 7 (sure he could improve a bit, but I think we all agree we're not really missing Shaunie right now) but for The Love Of All That's Holy can Pompey be given the kicking duties?!

Or maybe we use Ford as a half/hooker given how damn classy that little kick was?

 

[CWC]

Will not happen but with Barney and likely Berry out and Ali half injured with work on required, might be worth having TT at fb and CNK at right centre to continue the centre work rate without having to shift Cape to keep Leka on the bench and experience in the pack, Demi+Leka clearly is our bald bros 2025

Would be a lot easier if Berry stop pulling his hammy and bust his head…

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Great in every other area tonight but that's 18 points - the DWZ try = 14 points.
Probably won't get dropped.

I dunno man, Dallin certainly was at fault and as we all know, comes in off his wing but it's hard to be too critical imo.

The Rabbitohs were desperate at that point and were throwing the ball around, we let one of Trell's bombs bounce and they got it back with a break up the middle...broken play is hard to defend.

At least one of those passes were massively forward too

 

[sydneywarrior92]

I have a friend who is a sharkies fan who is very pessimistic about their chances for this game. Apparently they don't have any wingers this week- Stonestreet and Katoa are injured and Mulitalo is suspended. As for middles, Hazelton is out for 3 months and AFB might be a bit sore with an AC joint injury. So as much as we are sweating about Barney and Berry, looks like sharks are much more banged up on the injury front.

 

[dylpickle]

Did something happen to Berry at the end of the game? From memory he finished the game and was strong on defence and attack. Just had to change shirts, I'd keep him as first choice center.

 

[The Undertaker]

I think this will be the team for the Sharks - assuming Wayde and Rocco are good to play - not heard anything about either being out although suggestion of Rocco hammy tweak

1. CNK
2. DWZ
3. Rocco (or Ali if not)
4. Pomps
5. RTS
6. CHT
7. Luka
8. JFH
9. Wayde
10. Marata
11. Leka
12. Capewell
13. Clarke

14. Healy
15. Demetric
16. Ford
17. Afoa

18. TMM
19. Laban

Ali I assume will be back on deck this week and will play cup - on cover Rocco if he needs a week off to get his hammy right

I think this game is made for Healy over TMM - Shark Park. Have to play him here and give Wayde a spell if carrying a niggle

Gone for Afoa over Laban for some more starch in the middle.

Sharks are another team I frikken can’t stand. I hope we find a way to win as this is an4 point swing with a bye after as well. Win this and top 4 becomes a real possibility.

Minor hamstring injury

Yeah Rocco went off at the 60th minute and didn't return. He didn't sound too worried during his interview after the game, fingers crossed it was more precautionary than anything, but as we have 2 byes in the next 5 weeks it might be good for him to sit out one game and have 2 weeks off?

Interestingly, both times Rocco has come off this year (Cowboys and Souths) the opposition has scored 3 tries in quick succession. I know a reshuffle isn't always ideal but it's been Capewell whose shifted there, who seems to play a fair but of centre who has been more than solid there.

He deffo seems to hold that edge together quite well

I never really thought anything until this game.
DWZ was badly exposed despite the scenario's.
The first time I ever made a comment about our man's deficiencies.
Don't know if our team has ever shut out AJ,always seems to get a double or a hat trick.

 

[Playdaball]

DWZ won’t get dropped , however teams are now targeting his side of the park.
He took all of the kicks today which was good but his defence is all and sixes and sevens - confused .

Probably a tiny bit of a coincidence too, the opposition both times were beginning to throw caution to the wind as they were behind.

 

[sup42]

Massive underdogs this week.

Sharks good, Warriors diligent triers.

Bit shit that JFH will have to battle that pack without Barnett, that kinda puts us on one leg.

Still we can dream, have this one as a loss on me ladder predictor, if we picked up a win here we would GENUINELY be decent chance of a top four finish, all going ok for the rest of the season.

A win here would be a landmark in the season. First big scalp we have beaten while they are enjoying some form.

We have to contain them in those fast starts they like to put on us.

 

[Po11um]

Looking at the betting odds sharks are firm favourites

At least they got that right.
