      Samrani will give you the same in terms of yardage.

    • The Captain > EA April 28, 2026 at 4:47pm

      Yes, absolutely if Samrani is ready please bring him in. Kelly has some flashy up-sides but they are far, far outweighed by the downsides.

    • Yehez > EA April 28, 2026 at 5:10pm

      Yes and as LB said he'll give you yardage.

      I think that's the plan they just wanna ease him in in cup first. 

      BTW, do you think having Petrus on the bench in cup means he'll come in and Jezaiah gets tried in the middle?

  • BEM April 28, 2026 at 4:14pm

    Nanva over Kelly and Samrani over Russell or Penis.

    Either way, the Warriors will run up a cricket score against that shit team.

  • Joel K April 28, 2026 at 4:16pm

    Forward pack is soft as shit

    Bring in teancum brown, change it up

    Paulo is rubbish he needs to be benched permanently, no foresight whatsoever from our R&R to have a replacement ready for this year

    • Parrafan101 > Joel K April 28, 2026 at 4:33pm

      Paulo was our best forward for the past two weeks, our fault was doing one hit run up the whole game when manly was playing second phase play in the second half. 

    • CP > Joel K April 28, 2026 at 4:52pm

      lol Paulo is rubbish...that'll do me

      • Joel K > CP April 28, 2026 at 4:58pm

        You think he's playing well enough to justify his $950,000 salary?

  • Phillip April 28, 2026 at 4:23pm

    Gerard Sutton is our ref for Saturday.

    • The Captain > Phillip April 28, 2026 at 4:59pm

      Statistically speaking Sutton means a 7% greater chance of us losing compared to all other referees.

      So statistically he doesn't hate us, but he doesn't help us.

      We may need devine intervention. This Warriors squad is looking good this year.

"Captain, not a problem at all. Apologies too for any misunderstaning. My posts can get a bit difficult to read. We were two ships passing in the night, going bump bump."

"Interesting stats, Cap. Our defence has been on the decline since post 2021 (relative defensive ranking). Last year was the first time there has been any improvement in five years."
