Pick Your Team Tigers v Warriors - [Round 4, 2025]

[Wahs_Ultras]

Damn so RTS did tear his hamstring according to Webby post match. Hopefully it’s only a minor tear.

 

[CWC]

Tore thus the Townsend 40/20 then made a try saving tackle

How is CNK not in trouble for folding Young’s head in half lol

 

[ShaunJohnson7]

I'd say Berry and Pompey more likely.

You think Ali will be there?

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

Minster got off the hip drop today by the MRC, Taine’s wasn’t worse

 

[CWC]

I am loving Ali’s x-factor would you guys move him to the left for Berry? That Charnz/Ali/Leka or Marata/Taine edge seems to be our best shape, will restart the whole combo if Ali is moved to Capewell/Pompey edge, he’d be swallowed by defenders with those 2 around him, unless CHT+Ali is a threat?

9 days is a long time, so maybe there is a chance RTS is right for this one if the tear isn't as bad. Either way, probably best to rest him to air on the side of caution. Bring Berry in for RTS and shift Pompey to the wing. I wouldn't change the other edge at all, even though that is Berry's preferred side because of the nice combinations they are starting to develop.

We have the better pack, so I back us to overpower them over the full 80 and go 3-1 into the bye. But we can't take them lightly, they aren't the walkovers they were last year.

Even minor tears are a couple of weeks. I’m curious if Rocco does come in if he shifts Ali to left centre as we’ve never really seen Rocco play on the left

 

[The Undertaker]

Based on RTS being out for 3-4 weeks, I’d go the following for the Tigers

1. CNK
2. TT
3. Ali
4. RB (GOAT returns)
5. MGT or Harper (tough on Pompey - but not quick enough for wing and our sweet prince needs to return)
6. CHT
7. LMetcarve
8. JFH
9. EGAN
10. Barny
11. Marata
12. Capes
13. Clark

14. Walks
15. Ford
16. Leka
17. DV

18. TMM

we should leave Ali where he is. That edge is starting to look great. Bring Berry on the other side and shift Pompey to wing.

Can Berry play wing? Has all the attributes for it.

 

[jonesy101]

1. Tuapiki
2. CNK
3. Berry
4. Ali
5. Sean Hoppe
6. Metcalf
7. TMM
8. JFH
9. Egan
10. Barnett
11. Capewell
12. Helasima
13. Clark

14. CHT
15. Vaumauigu
16. Niukore
17. Laban

Odds 10000000 to 1

Tuapiki, Helasima, Vaumauigu

Is Blocker Roach picking the side?

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

My first thoughts are this....

1 T Tuaupiki
2 A Leiataua
3 R Berry
4 A Pompey
5 C N Klokstad
6 C H Tavita
7 L Metcalf
8 J F Harris
9 W Egan
10 M Barnett
11 K Capewell
12 M Niukore
13 E Clark

14 D Walker
15 J Ford
16 D Vaimauga
17 L Halasima

18 M Harper

I would swap Pompey with Ali but otherwise good

My only negative would be that out of that back 5, you'd have 4 players playing a new position in the backline for the first time this year.

Probably worth trailing at some point, but imo this is a great chance to go 3-1 heading into the bye, so I'd really be trying to keep things as simple as possible with minimal changes and disruptions

So as simple as harper comes in?

We signed him for a reason...

Nine day turn around for RTS could happen if it were a hamstring strain.

A tear needs weeks for tissue repair.

Having said that, as far as I am aware Webster doesn't have MRI scanners in his eye balls so we should ignore all the talk of tears until the scans are done.

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

We signed him for a reason...

And that would be?

 

[BlackToko88]

Id be cautious with RTS. He did his hammy last year too and doesnt need to be rushed. Id say maximum 4 weeks he out. With the bye after Tigers I would play him round 6.

Had a look at nrl.com doesnt seem to have anything on Taines report so im assuming he cleared.

Make shift, have Pompey left wing and Ali left center and Berry right center. Could have ali at wing but id keep him and develop him.

MGT isn't top 30 so don’t think he can play? Otherwise he could have played.

Either way I just want to see Berry back in top sode and hopefully after can see Ali x Rog combo

 

[sup42]

And that would be?

Pretty clear that Harper was signed because the club realise we are thin on outside backs in an injury scenario.

Also pretty clear that the club did the maths and worked out that a cheap Harper option for all his faults cannot be worse than their Kosi experiment which was trialled to the enth degree and failed this season.

The signing of Harper was the death knell in Kosi's NRL future.
