Jai Newcombe vs Chad Warner

[Blackhawk42]

Because he is comfortably a better player. Has much more impact on the contest with his linebreaking ability.

Not sure why this poll is as close as it is. Warner should be leading by a fair bit more. If he were playing for a Vic team, he certainly would be.

Warner better in 2022.
Newcombe better in 2023.

Similar ages. Similar strengths.

Chad has started like a house on fire this year, and Duke played a stinker yesterday. Only worth visiting this again come the mid season byes at the earliest.

Edit: It was 16-1 in Warner's favour after the poll was first created. As last season evolved it became closer and closer and Newcombe lead for a while. Was all square on Grand Final day which I felt was a fitting full stop on the question at the time.

Warner better in 2022.
Newcombe better in 2023.

How do you think things are turning out so far this year?

It's Warner and not even close...

Newcombe is a pretty good player, but Warner is a game-breaker.

Newcombe's played two poor games. Season is a marathon, not a sprint. Let's see how it evolves.

Honestly I just hope this poll doesn’t turn out as toxic as the Cripps v Oliver poll. For me, I rated Newcombe more highly originally but after seeing Warner come out these first few rounds, he’s looking ominous with Heeney
