Round 17: Dolphins vs Warriors

[Red]

Warriors came back to form with a bang today. It'll be a hard game but it looks like, as of now, we will have a best possible team on the field. Gone from injury disaster in previous seasons to the luckiest club in the competition this year. Who are they going to leave out??? As well as Naufahu has played the last couple of weeks! Fuller as well but it looks like both will have to be dropped.

1. Hammer
2. Isaako
3. Bostock
4. Herbie
5. Cobbo
6. Niko
7. Katoa
8. Flegler
9. JMK
10. Molo
11. Fin
12. Lemuelu
13. Plath
    
    
14. Donoghue
15. Knowles
16. Gilbert
17. Kaufusi
    
    
18. Stone
19. Naufahu

Swap Stone and Kaufusi around I reckon and that’s the 19 with Fuller, Schneider and Keeley in the 22.

Won’t surprise me if Schneider is in the 19 come game day over Kaufusi as Katoa cover.

With Knowles and Donoghue already on the bench, unless there is an injury to one of the two or Plath relatively early, hard to see Stone getting used.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

I watched the Warriors v Cowboys. The Cowboys were bad. Kicking game wasnt on point.

At Halftime, The Wahs were 5-1 up in the penos, but their completion rate was 17of 22 (or close to).

The weight of possession told late on, combined with the Cowboys coughing up the ball with no pressure.

I have a mate that is a warriors fan, I said the Dolphins arent going to be as blunt in attack, and they will manage the game better.

That being said, The Warriors weren't that good. Despite the Cowboys being bad, the commentators even mentioned that they were in the game till late.

During they game they lost Ford to a Pec, which may rule him out.

My comment to my mate during the game was that if they warriors come to Brisbane and play like that, we will put 50 on them. In the small time the cowboys held the ball, they scored quick points. We will hold the ball and be more dynamic.

If the Warriors turn up like that without Ford, we will pump them.

Dolphins by 30

FTS - Cobbo

Motm - Katoa

Thats based on what I saw on the weekend. Rested Origin players fresh to go. That being said, rested players may lack rhythm and I could be wrong.

 

[Equaliser]

If we beat them by 21 or more, we go to second on the ladder. But first have to win.

Dolphins by 22
FTS - Herbie
MOTM - JMK

Stone been close to one of the Dolphins most valuable players this year

JMK and Donga have showed how important they are for Dolphins their returns have coincided with the winning run. Donga made a huge hit in the first half that woke Dolphins up and Lemuelu scored next set.

Stone has been very good but can't carry 3 locks on the bench. With the 6 I guess you could but at least 1 of them would be on the bench for the whole game.

i would say unless we have any injuruys it be similar team to cowboys game
