Warriors here, fair to say both our seasons haven't gone to plan is a bit of an understatement. I don't have much as I have been crook for a couple of weeks and have been feeling too sorry for myself to worry about the Warriors. What I can say is Walsh will start at FB if he is fit, have heard nothing to say he isn't. If not RTS is an adequate replacement I reckon.
Our back 5 of Walsh, RTS, Berry, Aitken and Montoya is near our best. Ken Maumalo and David Fusitua have given us great service over the years but Ken's gone and Fusitua's future is up in the air. Walsh and RTS have had screeds written about them. Aitken is strong defensively and is now showing a passing game, Berry is our Bradman Best when he was starting out. Montoya has been a revelation, originally signed as depth, he has worked his way to the top spot.
In the Halves we have Sean O'Sullivan and Nikorima, personally I would have had O'Sullivan playing more games, he is an organiser and has a good pass and boot. Nikorima drifts in and out of games too much. I would have Harris-Tavita and O'Sullivan in the Halves personally, but not to be.
Our forwards depend on Addin Fonua-Blake, with Tohu Harris the icing, the rest will follow those two. Jazz at Hooker scares us. Too often Jazz rows with only one oar in the water for all his effort plays. My tip is a young bloke Otukolo will debut from the Bench.
Generally we as fans have been OK with Nathan Brown so far. There will always be dissent over selections with any Coach, but generally he has a pass mark.
All the best guys, I am sure we will see a good game.
