Have to agree with Timmah, the 3 Blind Mice on the radio are awful. I flick them on for comedic value after there is a penalty or forward pass etc.

On the actual game, am still amazed how a side can win by 20 points with the 6 and 7 playing so bad. Witt was woeful and Rovelli not much better

 

[mattyg]

lol, the scoreboard soooo doesn't reflect those stats. I'll put it down to nobody seeming interested in the first 10 mins of the 2nd half when we had ample opportunity to score and did NOTHING!

So even

 

[Dogaholic]

Aye Witty... did you blow your load when Michael Witt tackled Michael Sullivan and stayed on him for a few seconds?


Warriors were too good in all departments. Well done & well deserved!

 

[Timmah]

There were a lot of even stats, we just let it run away at the end of the day I guess.

Wittyfan :lol: You're good value.

Explain how Witty was awful?

Well, it had been three years since the last time they clashed. :lol:

 

[Beavers Headgear]

The run around may look pretty, but he was doing absolutely nothing at all with it, when there were some good options there. 1 of them i remember vividly is the Warriors odds on to score and he passes it at Tates shoulder from 3m away. Created nothing with the ball in hand, threw some poor passes, gave away a penalty.
Just a poor all round game

Spot on, just a little weak defence late in the 2nd half was the only time they looked like losing.

Pity to see they're so poor on the road - if they can rectify their travelling form, they're a definite premiership force.

I thought he was pretty good today. The only negative was that one miss.

We're talking about Rugby League playing ability, not his pecs or p***s.

 

[NK Arsenal]

are the asterix's really needed when somebody says "penis"

thanks warriors, got 5/5 now.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Fair enough, i just didn't think he was up to par, his 1st 15-20 i found especially bad.

Hate to admit to it, but thought of you when Sullivan entered the game lol, memories of you on the old Manly forums as Sullyfan copping it from all directions :lol:

 

[wittyfan]

I was talking about his ability, Timmah.

 

[NZ Warrior]

Wittyfan, apart from Witt's boot, he generally had a sh*t game.

You can crow about kicking percentages all you like, but Witt is also one of the Warriors' playmakers. With that side of his job, he is really dragging his heels. He is being outplayed by Fien & Henderson. Even Hohaia is doing more than him.

Witt really has to step up. His buddy, Rovelli was a bit better today and had a more relevant kicking game.

 

[Timmah]

I heard Fien and Rovelli mentioned heaps, barely heard Witt's name unless he was kicking a goal.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Haha! Bub bye Doggies!! Woot

Go Warriors!!
