Post Match Warriors v Roosters - [Round 3, 2025]

[Inruin]

Switching topics.

Everyone praising Webby for giving Leka more minutes.

You guys think he plays 31 mins if RTS didnt injure himself?

Reckon he''ll be back to 20mins max next week.

Deserves more though.

Vast majority of positive changes have come about through being forced by injury.

So what changes are we seeing this year forced by injury
Compared to last year we have been lucky

I hope no one thanks him, when we win a premiership.

Bloody freeloader.

Has to have some credit but I doubt TT is in the side without the DWZ injury. Would be interesting to see if Ali gets the lock in without Berry's long-term injury. You are right I think in that Leka wouldn't get the extra minutes without RTS injury and that looked like a game changer.

Seems like AW saw the error of his ways with Ed by putting TT in instead. TLT will be a must watch to see who he replaces RTS with. Move centres around to cover? Ed? Harper? Some other option?

yeah but it wasnt exactly difficult to figure out.
every man and his dog could see TT was a better selection than Kosi..
in fact i question what Kosi is still doing on the wing....

Topic change again. What was Leiataua's post tackle celebration?. After he smashed Sandon Smith.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Lots of assumptions there.

So we can't sign TMM for longer?

Metcalf will leave if he isn't 7?

CHT was walking in the woods two years ago writing poetry.

We could equally be investing in Metcalf for several years based solely on potential.

TMM has shown more last season at 7 against good opposition.

The current option is LM and CHT, but dismissing other options and opinions on what ifs seems off to me.

Theres not that many actually.

TMM is unsigned for next year.
Metcalf has said he wants to play 7. Why would he stay in NZ at the Warriors to get demoted. We arent the Storm/Penrith.

CHT is signed for 2 more seasons.

I think your leaning on assumptions more than I am.

Like I said though, there is no reason why we couldn't sign TMM longer, or Metcalf to go back to 6 or CHT as a utility. What I was saying was dismissing other opinions or ideas based on a 'dynasty' in a few years time is putting a lot of eggs in one basket.

About as worthwhile as saying Jett won't stay if there isn't a place in first grade for him in a few years.

 

[Wah's Up]

Many posters have praised Tuapiki (rightfully so) but has anyone watched him after the opposition have gone past him?
He just stops and does not follow the play.
Will need to get that out of his game.

He isn't alone in that boat either

Massive assumption. He's unsigned for next year. If that isn't a glaring red flag I don't know what is. He may retire for all we know. CHT/Metcalf relies on the players we have, for the period we have them, in the positions they want to play.

And don't forget about the results Frank

That too. We are winning with young inexperienced halves who aren't playing top tier footy. Dammm

Yup, could do. Another glaring red flag might be a running half having two runs for 9 metres on the back of a dominant forward display.
