Team v Storm

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Oh that's good Katas still in there, I was worried lol.

Storm 50, Warrior nil

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Won't be the final team. We'll find out Thursday.

 

[vvvrulz]

Ah that's really annoying for planning out fantasy teams.

 

[Mr Angry]

Just wow

Special Steve the coach.

 

[Iafeta]

“Yeah I’ll have to look at that”

Which meant he wouldn’t.

Which meant he wouldn’t.

Or more worryingly, he did have a look...

I love the brocess

The definition of insanity, rinse and repeat. Kearney on Radiosport, "I don't believe in wholesale changes", bullshit Kearney you don't believe in any changes. When talking about Blair, who admits himself that he's playing like crap, Kearney says "he knows and we know that his form will come back", does he, how does he know that, how bloody long does that mean he will give him, moron.

Special Steve the coach.

I like that description a lot.

 

[Big Marn]

Remember when Ivan sent Ruben to reserve grade cause he was playing like shit?
Grow a pair Kearney.

Kearney says "he knows and we know that his form will come back", does he, how does he know that, how bloody long does that mean he will give him, moron.

I can't recall a player coasting this lazily for us, and the genius of Kearney is that he allows it.

Sure we've had plenty of slackers, but as a guaranteed selection on this much coin?

I was just scrolling through comments, thinking this team was a joke team i.e. players we could have named but they'd left of something. Then I read it properly and saw it was the actual 2014 team. 5 seasons ago and there is 1 player left in the squad from that time! Just 1 player. Is it a better team today? I don't think so.

Theya re gunna roll us by 40. I can't watch.

Hard to tell really, we were pretty derp back then too.

So Kata out (neck issue/compassionate grounds depending who you ask) and Herbert in. Glad he's getting a chance.

Expecting a traditional thrashing from the Storm in this clash but I would love to be proven 100% wrong (please, please, please Warriors, make me look like a total ass!!!!)

 

[Big Marn]

Mixed feelings. I'm kinda in Spear Tackles corner in letting the incumbents get boned.
Herbert's getting thrown to the wolves. 20% chance he performs well first game up against Storm on Anzac Day. 80% chance he struggles and Kata gets rushed back next week. Wish it had been the Knights this week.

Kata or is it Cata? Seems to have 9 lives like a cat.

Translation: After 2 years of sucking head coach Stephen Kearney's knob every Tuesday before the team is named, Solomon Kata's neck can no longer handle the force and tension of Kearney's intense ball skill sessions.

It is expected at least Blair will find his form again.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Just so many things wrong with our team and some of it are difficult to fix.

We happily lose Kata but we still know that it doesn't solve all our problems.

 

[Rich102]

But it would be a positive step forward.
