    Heard that Isaac Luke was supportive so it's good to hear player support for the incoming coach

      And McGuire hasn't automatically excluded Benji.

        @bovidae Right now he would be one of the starting halves in the Kiwis side, especially if a number of Kiwis get an 'injury' the week before their match against England.

          We're in a weird time where theoretically we have 4 halves (Johnson, Benji, Foran, Martin) we could pick from and would only have to resort to a back rower at 6 if 3 are injured at once.

            @sneakdefreak Would Foran be in the team on form? From what I have read - no.

              If we were reduced to playing a forward at 6 then yes, otherwise no. It's less the fact we have players in form, more the fact we actually have more than two to choose from for once.

              Oh, I forgot Nikorima as well although he's been punted back to hooker by Bennett.

                Shouldn't be but Shaun Johnson (and Isaac Luke) probably won't be released by the Warriors for the test in Denver due to their injuries this season so you never know. Foran/Benji could be our halves combo....I would go Benji/Martin.

                    Is there any probable chance of Lino being thrust into the Kiwis reckoning? Would he switch allegiances?

                    Part of me, the Samoan side, wants him to just play for Samoa but then Samoa are piss poor so better off just playing for the Kiwis.

                      @raznomore Think Lino will stay with Toa Samoa which is better for rugby league anyway.

                      Luke has been ruled out of tomorrow's game. Karl Lawton to start and Sam Cook will probably come onto the bench.

                            The beach muscles boy wont have nearly as much influence as Isaac has this year - Blake Green is getting a lot of the plaudits but Luke has been the key to this team this year IMHO.

                              Green is getting deserved credit. As is Luke. Adam Blair has been keeping his nose clean of late which is good too

                                  Well the old days are back - in two respects.

                                  1. The Warriors are making errors all over the place.
                                  2. The reffing is, how do we say, a bit iffy. Blake Green gets laid after a kick and it's play on, a few minutes later and Blake Ferguson gives a celebratory fist in the air for knocking the ball dead before the Warriors could score a try. Refs give the ball to Roosters and they eventually go in for a try down the other end.

                                  Beach muscles and Tevaga have been average filling in for Luke.

                                      Green gets hit with a late no arm charge. Blair got sent to the bin for that

                                        The Warriors in 2018, mostly brilliant, but occasionally they forget to turn up to a game...

                                          They looked like they focused on what they were going to do for the pregame and not on what they actually had to do to win the match
