3-2-1 v Bulldogs

[Meth]

Fire away from full time

 

[Blair]

Being at the game, Meth, I honestly can't think of anyone for points. I will though, and will edit them in.

But gee we were average. It was a line I said to another flat Warriors fan on the train home: great fans, average team.

3. Ford - I watched him quite a bit - due to the criticism here - and I was quite impressed. He's Michael Luck mark II, bar the silly errors. If we had some big stars around him, circa '11, he'd be a better player. Oh, and he made a little kid really happy after the game, with an autograph.

2. Roger, wet weather, not good for silky footwork, but he's still dangerous. Wait till he gets on a dry deck, his form gives me hope.

1. Clark, yeah, OK. He hits hard. The opposition know he's there. Like Ford, he'd be better with some stars around him. In fact, he'd be great.

HMs - cant think of anyone else.
DMs - Niukore, Ford, JFH, Lussick

Its a big DM for Webster for his bizarre selections and bench makeup.
On a wet surface you needed a proper 7 playing, not 2 6s. Why was Lussick anywhere near the first grade side? Why Leka to the bench? It all blew up in his face by making way too many changes that seemed unnecessary.

3 - Roger. never stopped trying. Forgave the dropped ball.'
2- Clark. needs more minutes.
1- Ford.

MIA - Niukore, CNK.
DM - JFH, Lussick, Webster

SSS would be cooler than TSS, but the man’s name is Tanner.

Oh yeah just realised Shannon Stowers played 2 games for the Warriors 20 years ago

3. TSS - probably not a 3 point worthy game but I dunno, I just felt like I noticed him a lot
2. Clark
1. Healey - should’ve played more minutes

DM: CNK. I know he’s not a half but how did he move from centre to 6 and become even more invisible? CHT had a shocker too and it was like CNK wasn’t trying to help at all.

I’ve always been a believer in CNK as our fullback and these last 2 games have done little to change my mind. It’s not only that TT isn’t this world beater that some people want to believe he is, it’s the massive drop off in CNK’s output.

Hard to pick this week.

3. Ford Just for his huge effort'
2. RTS. Tried his ass off.
1. Tauapiki. Not his day... but he tried.

3. Clark - feels like a bit of a Mannering award, but when we're mostly poor the consistent performers stand out
2. RTS - was the only back who looked even remotely threatening
1. Vaimauga - thought he had a dig and put in some hard work

HM TSS, Healey was utterly wasted.

DMs galore, I was really unimpressed with a few.

Fish is getting on my nerves a bit honestly, it's okay to spend half an hour off the field if you're having Haas, Tipene type impact, but he just doesn't and the needless niggling / shoving is just costing us.

CNK must be injured because 4 runs all night is a disgrace even if sitting as a makeshift half, and if injured what is he doing out there. Niukore was a ghost again. Lussick is bog average and we already knew that. TT isn't that good in these types of conditions, he was a lamb for slaughter.

I usually don't have a go at Webby but the team selection was horrific.

Fish was just awful last night. Ineffective with the ball, falling off tackles & discipline was pathetic.

I kinda get the impression jfh has the mentality of: “I’ve already won the comp so now I can go and back home and clock off”.

I was at the game and, my god, he hits hard in tackles. You could feel them from up in the stands but, he became less intense from about the fifteenth minute. I stopped noticing him. So did the opposition, I reckon.

Worrying for us that Ford is featuring heavily in the MOTM ...

Predictable take coming from me, but I just think it's because he's played a lot of games and a lot of minutes (and he's overrated)

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

It's worrying that we're playing badly enough that others aren't standing out, but I mostly just think it's bad judging

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Or subjective judging...

I didn't vote, I honestly couldn't find 3 people worthy. It was such a putrid game.
