    NZ Warriors.....a year later

    Yes - the coach is out of his depth - but it doesn't matter much who the coach is if you don't have the player balance correct. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. The better teams who play with more structure and have a solid game plan will always prevail over the...

    NZ Warriors.....a year later

    The south auckland curse was to the fore last night and this type of pathetic performance will continue unless there is a change in recruiting and philosophy. Get rid of mcclennan and vatuvei and start recruiting some hard nosed aussies and not these big powder puff polynesians who lack...

    v Broncos

    Yeah - I listen to the alternate commentary and not the kiwis and I am a warriors supporter- but that was the most one-eyed amateur commentary I have heard for a long time - poor form Ray Hadley - you sound like a bigger dufus than mathew Johns and the classic aussie a--e hole was prominent in...

    Manu Vatuvei - Coming to your club! (no spoilers)

    He is supposed to be a winger - not a forward. It is one thing to be a hit up merchant, but not when you cannot fulfill your role as a winger. This is professional sport and it is not personal - but fans deserve better - without them he is nothing. Watch the game again and see how little he did...

    Manu Vatuvei - Coming to your club! (no spoilers)

    Another week and Manu is at it again - another lame performance and he again let the team down at a crucial juncture. If he is to remain in the team, he needs to be moved to the forwards - but even then I dont think his work rate will suffice. Get rid of him and use the money to entice a more...

    Manu Vatuvei - Coming to your club! (no spoilers)

    I agree, and the sad thing is - he is making the same mistakes year in year out. I don't swallow the crap pushed by his cheerleading faction, that he is invaluable. He cost us the other night and has cost us many games over the years through his many deficiencies both on attack and defense. I...

    The Warriors myth

    Bluey is not in the same league as cleary and you can see that in the way the warriors are playing. There is a lack of discipline and accountability and please strop that stupid back slapping when someone makes a mistake. Last nights game was a disgrace and the lack of urgency and defensive...

    Warriors - most frustrating team of all time?

    Those stats mean absolutely nothing to me mate. When a player makes as many errors as he does - which leads to subsequent tries - there is a problem. Every error creates more defense and the flow on effect puts pressure on the interchange and so on. Locke uncharacteristically dropped...

    Warriors - most frustrating team of all time?

    :sarcasm: :sarcasm:Sorry - I have endured years of his ineptness and I am only saying what many people think. I have said for years he is a liability - and by that I mean that he gives away more points than he creates - the poor man :roll:looks confused and disorientated - you've...

    Warriors - most frustrating team of all time?

    I agree - they would be a much better team without his continuous high error rate, not to mention his poor positional play and inability to tackle. The "Beast" would be dropped from most top nrl teams with his inability to do even the basics. He lost us this game today and there will...

    congrats Manly, worthy champions

    Roy Masters is a douche bag

    He is in good company with his parochial,blinkers on style of journalism. Listening to all the interviews from experts and the chances of the warriors - there must be a shitload of humble pie. I used to laugh at Gary Belcher and Wayne Pearce in their comments about the frailties and...

    Grand final halves- who's better ?

    Johnson and DCE havn't played a season yet, let's judge them end of next season. DCE as of now fits the manly side better than johnson fits the warriors. By that I mean he has a better understanding with his outsides and is a more mature player than johnson at this stage in his career. Johnson...

    warriors vs manly

    The warriors don't get the kudos and deserve more credit than they get in the aussie media. If they play with that same level of intensity and commitment in the GF, they will win, no doubt about it. The warriors winning the GF, will create so much interest in nz and is only a positive for the...

    Hypothetical blame.

    The guy just broke his jaw and it's a major semifinal, It's a no brainer, he shouldn't play and the club shouldn't let him. Seeing players completely knocked out in the regular season - stumbling around and then playing the duration of the game - nothing surprises me. The status of the player...

    If you worry that our comp isn't "national"......

    I agree, but I would add that a team from wellington makes a lot of sense. There is a lot more depth of talent coming through and wellington is a great city with a great fan base. u20/vulcans shows the strength is there.

    Shame the Tigers are out.............

    I never rated the tigers as a genuine title shot, defensively lapse and rely too much on benji - he was quiet second half and subsequently warriors over top. Brisbane should win tonight - great defence against warriors, not to mention this constant wave of lockyer euphoria

    Fool Gould: And the loser leaves the country...

    Foot and mouth disease is commonplace with several nrl commentators - I think he just phrased it wrong

    What have we learnt?

    From the games just played I would say Manly best attacking team, broncos best defensive unit. I think the storm and tigers are vulnerable and if the warriors could find their form of a month ago, they might have a chance. A stat I just heard - 38% of first round losers have won their next game...
