Team List Warriors v Knights - [Round 8, 2025]

[run_it_str8_again]

I will back Berry who has incumbent rights from a while back. And if we can back a short winger who's actually a fullback that gets mentioned as a potential half, a prop who has been error prone, a halves pairing who are mid range-ish.....then I'll back Berry even though he's a lot injury prone. Let's see if he too fills out in the next few years.

Anyway, arguments aside. He's in...... pending injury clearance.

Berry season is wrapping up for the year as well but let's be honest, pompey has just played 100 games, so we haven't even seen the best of Berry yet!

I hear this every year with him “we haven’t see.ln the best of Berry yet…..” OK… this year also aye

People acting like Marzhew is some sort of prime Jonah or something.

There will be plans for him I'm sure.

I'm hoping Lucas is not quite ready (but doubt he would have travelled if he wasn't) - He really helped Ponga early in the season.

Marzhew is a massive liability under the high ball for them. Pretty sure he leads their error count. A poor man's Manu Vatuvei with all of his worst traits and only half of his attacking prowess. Was surprised that the Sharks didn't target him like the Tigers and the Dogs did in the preceding weeks. I'm sure Webby has a plan to bomb to his corners to take him out of the 2nd/3rd tackles of each set.

I'm worried about Bradman Best tbh. Everything good that comes out of the Knights attack goes through him, so Rocco has a big job shutting him down.

I like this team- especially the bench. It looks like it's gonna be another wet night, so middle dominance is again crucial. Best way to shut down KP is to make sure that the Knights never see our red zone, just like the broncos hardly saw it last week. So a four forward bench is the way to go. Unlike others on here, I'm ok with not carrying a Healey or another dummy half option on the bench. Wade plays an instrumental role in organizing attack which relieves the pressure on our young halves. So I feel he needs to be out there as long as possible.
