Aaaaaand just realised I didn't even put my tips in for the BHQ tipping comp... where was my message to remind me!!

Have gone from getting 14 reminder messages leading up to tips, to getting none on game day when it kicks off at 10am... yes I'm bitter

The Warriors are not going to be able to score points with this spine. CHT and CNK are not good enough to create points in shape. They have to change the way they play. Too structured. Raiders have shown them how today to do it when you have limited weapons in the spine. Offloads.

Yeah it's pretty much all on Metcalf to create so just follow him around.

Losing Tohu in the middle is huge as well... he was a threat that had to be respected... as was AFB... along with Egan at dummy half.

You lose all those threats and leave Egan without many weapons, so just load up on wherever Metcalf goes

Suddenly they look very impotent.
 
Raiders their own worst enemy... just keep handing over possession inside their own half... was going to hurt them at some point

What is it that the Warriors see in CHT? He looks a bit like Walsh but is the Temu version in terms of playing like him.

No idea... is it only because he's a left footer?

Maybe they think he's a solid body that goes alright in defence?? Everyone keeps going on about the size of him for some reason

I'm not sure why Martin isn't playing halfback and metcalf 5/8th. Let's move on from CNK too. It was a nice story a few years ago but he isnt good enough to play fullback anymore especially with no superstar half.

They have decent middle playmakers/leg speed in Clark and Walker but for some reason they are playing them together with fucking Jackson Ford. I do not get it. Clark was meant to start. This fetish for Ford has to stop.

Yeah that current middle looks way too small... feel like Webster is trying to be too cute and getting minutes out of Ford, but when you have big minute forwards in JFH and Barney you want them on the field over Ford.

Walker is also the only forward in their team that can ball play so they need to get him up to 50-60mins... not sure he can push out 80mins week in week out, but they bloody need it with Tohu gone.

Taine should be their fullback... he's probably not elite just yet, but he ball plays better than CNK and Roger.

They will probably try a stint with RTS at fullback at some point, but he's a runner and showed it last year when he filled in at 1 a couple times... ran for like 300m, but also bombed a couple of backline movements. Wing is a great spot for him
 
Honestly, they should start with Capewell at lock and then shift him to second row when Walker comes on.
