3-2-1 v Dogs

[Meth]

3- Mannering
2- Lillyman
1- Thompson

If that's your 3-2-1, you know you lost.

Not entirely sure what to make of Johnson's game. Obviously, when your team spends so much time in the opposition 20 and can't convert pressure to points, you look at your halves. In saying that, it seemed as if it was left entirely up to Johnson to start and finish. So frustrating to see Johnson poke through the defensive line and his outside men (chiefly Fusitua + Maumalo) so lethargic unresponsive. They threw a lot at him all night and his defense was good.

 

[Meth]

Kata and Fusitua disappointed tonight, as did Hingano.

Luke sucked.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Struggling to think I can do the 3.
It was a complete rabble out there.
You would think they don't train together.
Offloads seem to be only used in last minutes when behind.
Decision on defense are diabolical.
Attacking structures non existent.
Effort is lacking in most player.
Players seemed gassed early? (Over training or unfit?)
Clarke not used on bench when Luke spent at 60min mark.

Anyone
3:Mannering 116m, 50 tackles.
2: Hoffman, still did dumb things on attack.
1: Lisone. Energetic when he actually got the ball, started the offloads

Man that was hard!

 

[Meth]

No point having Clark on the bench if we're not going to play him on a night like tonight.

I was going to Kogarah next Sunday but not bothering now. Two and a half hours there by train, and then a night in a strange bed because I need to be in the CBD early on Monday morning...

...sorry Warriors, homie don't play that, not no more.

3 SJ

At least those 3 had a go..

 

[Rich102]

2 Afoa.

Can't believe Maumalo is getting points. He bombed a very likely try. Just doesn't have any winger's skills at all. And never ever contests balls in the air.

I'm with you somewhat, but in his defense...not many played much better and he did so some good things. But, as I said, apart from the one obviously bombed try, I also think his tardiness is support of Johnson cost us as well.

Hoffman good, and as Oz said Johnson had a go but for someone of his experience and reputation it's simply not enough, it's his team he needs to do more

 

[Meth]

Yeah, I think Afoa had a real go, but with Mannering and Hoffman in the side, his contribution is going to be limited in his current role.

If we must have Gubb, why don't we swap his and Afoa's roles?

 

[Scott]

Can't believe people say Hoffman was ok. He was terrible on attack and completely killed anything happening on the left. He left poor old Hingano posted with the ball on numerous occasions. For someone who usually runs good lines he was diabolical.

As for 3,2,1 i'll require more time. Can believe we can dish up rubbish like that. The Bulldogs were terrible with the ball, we were worse!

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

I cant do it. Id have to relive the whole game again and no Warrior fan should have to see that traumatic shit. Its an easy game to forget.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Hes improving and having a dig

3. Lillyman - Best work rate, churned those metres - we looked much worse with him off the field
2. Thompson - Did fairly well when thrown into centre
1. Mannering - I wanted more/better when we have the ball, but the standard this week was low so a point it is!

Johnson looked good at times... but misses a point because mostly this happened when Moses Mbye rush up and forced him to run the ball and beat players rather than because of his own decisions.

Lisone was close but I just wanted him to get his hands on the ball a couple more times. Ken misses because he missed that try (so basic!). Tui misses because of that drop with the game in the balance. Fus and Bunty were mostly ok, some good some bad (really liking Fus in general again this year... some strong runs). Gubb's work rate was very good, but that was only over 25-ish minutes, plus his play the balls were slow and he never looked like breaking a tackle so I can't give him points.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

3. Johnson - Foran + Johnson will be good to watch
2. Simon
1. Bunty

 

[vvvrulz]

This sounds like a good game to not bother with a replay.

Caught some of the highlights though and that edge defence just looks a royal mess.
