I'd rather stay in Auckland and go to Showgirls

 

[Martli]

Wellington ftw

Ropati - games played in 07 = 5
Warriors wins with Ropati = 0

Anyone but him please.

KEEP HIM OFF THE BLACK BOAT!

 

[Micistm]

As much of the same team for next week as poss IMO.

Stoked with that performance. But they got to keep it going now or risk the I told you so brigade mouthing off. I can already hear Telfer monday morning on Radio Sport with his patronising and arrogant 'Yes, but that's what so frustrating about the Warriors- They can perform like that yet have a shocker the following week'...It's called the NRL, Telfer you ignorant ****wit. Any team can beat any other on the day. I know that's hard to understand for a guy that sticks to his Golf and Netball (With a hint of Union). Notice he never brings up other teams that do the same- And makes it sound like the Warriors are alone down that end of the table!

Anywho...not many comments about the 'second rate aussies' this week. And I guess Cleary will be safe for another week too.

i actually thought the " hacks" went pretty well actually.

mckinnon played like he played games 1 +2, gatis was great out of dummy half,, witty looked good, ravs was dissappointing tho. why wont he take on the line, cause a bit of confusion ?. if he had played with some of the form he showed last season, we would have put another 20 on the panthers..

good to see the ad-lib, throw it around stuff. much preferable to the boring one out,panic pass crap we've been dished up the last few weeks. hopefully the boys (burnt out, wannabe aussie hacks included) have turned the corner..

The thing that got me last night was that nobody put in a f**kwitted kick, even if the execution on some of them wasn't stunning.

Every kick had a purpose, unlike the kicks we were getting earlier in the year.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Our long kicking game is still pretty sh*t.

Great=Price, McKinnon,

Good= Everyone else

 

[Rich102]

Do we take anything out of the interchange of Fien for Rovelli in the last 10 minutes? Fien put Lui into a lovely gap. I thought Gattis was the best hooker on show. Witt went much better - but who doesn't going forward?
Swan looked the player of old. Great all round performance.
Bring on the Titans!

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Swann for me didnt impress at all again. He ran on the left side all night and seemed to pick out Gower everytime but everytime Gower had the better of him and was stronger. Still a good allround didplay. Was Koopu in the centres for Martin or Anderson

 

[Fast Eddie]

Koopu played in the centres.

Yeah Swann didn't impress too much but was still alright.

Fien picked up a good couple of try assists. Especially the one where he put Louie through a hole.

 

[Dr Crane]

The thing that sticks out in my mind while watching the replay is how Luck is constantly right next to the try scorer in support.

He's going great.

 

[MKEB...]

Koopu didnt look out of place in the centres though he did butcher a certain try.

 

[MKEB...]

Really is their any need to offload Gatis for stuart Webb. I thought Gatis played bloody well last night and has never really let the side down. Seems we willpay overs for a rake that is really no better than Gatis.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Just having a look around the stats on the Warriors website....

Who would have thought that Witt would be our top try scorer so far!

And hows this for a bold prediction....Witt will end up on the list below at the end of the season.

MOST POINTS IN A SEASON 1995-2007

242
IVAN CLEARY (8 tries, 105 goals)
2002

173
IVAN CLEARY (3 tries, 80 goals, fg)
2001

160
TONY MARTIN (6 tries, 68 goals)
2006

147
STACEY JONES (5 tries, 63 goals, fg)
2005

Well he defitnitly would if he had been kicking from the start of the season.

Bingo.

Ouch some harsh comment on Rovelli, I thought he was good... he was often the link man between the forwards offload and getting it onto McKinnon. I'd take that performance from a half any day of the week at the moment.

As far as Fien putting Louis through a gap, yep, but the next set he put on a hospital pass to Lauaki. That's the problem with Fien, he goes to the line too much and plays too flat. It can cause a lot of turnovers and big hits.

Agreed, you get Gatis off the back of those offloads and he'll carve up as good as anyone.

He was great last night. I'd have no qualms with him staying if no one is putting their hand up from the Lions as a dummy half of his quality.

 

[Iafeta]

He's going great.

The other thing I note with him is when a half break is threatening he's there to chop down the attacker. His cover defence is excellent.

I'm unashamedly a fan of his performances at the Warriors.
