Post Match Warriors v Dolphins - [Round 12, 2024]

[The Warrior Waka]

Does everyone think Kali is a centre? I want so see him on the wing!

He's looked better at center than what I've seen him of at wing. So strong for a young guy. Not sure of his top end speed? Could be awesome there?

He looks a bit more elusive.

Two great games by Te Miare. But only at 7.Huge improvements since moving from 6.

Good to see you give him flowers

You’ve been his harshest critic

Thos is my absolute best squad when all available.
CNK
DWZ
Berry
MTG
RTS
SJ
TMM
AFB
Egan
BArnett
Ford
CApewell
Walker

CHT
Ale
Laban
Niukore

Harris needs gardening leave to freshen up imo. Walker way more dynamic and just as skilled.

In two minds about Capewell, using the form is temporary class is permanent thinking.

TMM has to make decisions and not defer to SJ constantly.

RTS is just as good as Montoya defensively, and adds more offensively.

Berry and MGT have been the best defensively.

MGT - one game sample size...
Roger has looked lost on the wing on D plenty of times. Montoya has actually impressed me in recent weeks staying on his man when appropriate. Pompey got gassed twice last week but definitely was in a position to make the tackle. Some said he should of jammed but it looked like the right decision to me. We look much safer on D with Montoya than DWZ

I know I'm late to the party but WOW! The courage the Team have shown is outstanding.
Some of the Team out injured might just be getting nervous.

Two great games by Te Miare. But only at 7.Huge improvements since moving from 6.

I think this shows two things.
1 - He is a 7, not a stand off.
2 - Over reliance on Johnson.

 

[Barty]

Something I would like to add as well from yesterdays game. I quick calculation I have done I get the following (and in some cases slightly conservative). AFB $1m, TH $850k, SJ $600k, CNK $400k, KC $450k, WE $450k, RB $300k, LM $350k, RTS $500k. We won against a top 4 side (currently) with approx $4.9m of our cap out. That is impressive. I don't know many other sides that could've done that.

 

[ShaunJohnson7]

1 - He is a 7, not a stand off.
2 - Over reliance on Johnson.

Is he? As well as he's played the past two weeks, I just don't think his long kicking game is good enough unless you have someone else in the lineup capable of that?

 

[Noitall]

I think this shows two things.
1 - He is a 7, not a stand off.
2 - Over reliance on Johnson.

And plays best on the right. SJ could go to the left and has played five eighth plenty in his career. Could have 2 decent kicking options and game managers on both sides? TMM certainly given them something to think about

 

[Rick O’Shay]

Another thing to think about is that the performance in the last 2 games gives the coach another leg up in being able to tailor a team to suit the opposition style.

Would this side have beaten the Tits for example

 

[Evil_Mush]

In two minds about Capewell, using the form is temporary class is permanent thinking.

Problem with judging Capewell's performance, is I don't think we've had him at 100% yet since getting injured at some point during the Sharks game way back in Round 1 (think it was ribs or something in that game but since then has notably had throat and calf issues as well).

Like all the walking wounded, I reckon we should just wait till he's absolutely 100% on all those issues before getting him back, for all we know could become Barnett-like who had some injury issues last year but came back from that to be the hard man we want him to be.

 

[Lance155]

Are we really that big on TMM all of a sudden? He had a shocker first half last week and was average at best this week. Does winning really skew people's opinions on players that much?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

TMM has 1.5 good games @ 7 and people calling for SJ to be replaced?!? Absolutely fucking madness.

It’s crazy. He spent multiple games this year hiding at dummy half instead of playing 6, and now he’s the saviour?

 

[WarriorsForever]

Mighty fend by Montoya!

He contributed a lot to those 2 wins so deserves the praise. When you have astute analysts
of the games like Cooper Cronk singling out his efforts after a quiet start to the season you take notice.

Give the man his flowers?!!!

Great problem to have.
It’s his spot now to lose @7 after steering the ship to two impossible wins imho after 4 duds in a row with SJ leading the helm.

BTW has SJ signed on for another year yet?….. and do we really need him
