Might as well....

3- Mannering
2- Kata
1- Hoffman

I hardly think any of those blokes had great games, but they were probably the best of a bad bunch...

It's s struggle.
3: Kata, kept trying all game.
2: TL , showed SJ how to take on the line.
1: Lolo, even with terrible hands, he offered more than most.

How bad was the game, so many errors and penalties, SJ a scared little boy to take on the line, no one looking to support forwards in case of offloads at various times.

How the hell can you give Mannering 3pts?????????????/ He was awful, seriously he is playing at reserve grade standard. He wouldnt make anyother NRL starting line-up based on his 2016 performances. This is blind fan love for sure. He is a HUGE reason we suck, along with Robson, Wright, Lillyman, Luke, Johnson. These guys are playing like deadset reserve graders, and I almost feel that insulting to reserve grade players at other clubs ......geeeez

I dunno, probably because he has a clue. Ain't no fan love, just placing value on quality defending in a game where that was otherwise sorely lacking.

3 Kata
2 Mannering
1 TL

3. Matulino - seemed like the only guy running direct - which we need way more of. I can forgive the errors.
2. Kata - trying is ass off and defence improving immensely.
1. Hoff - at least he was in the refs ear all day. By the end he just got so tired of complaining that he gave up.

Honourable mention to to TL for doing more running on one tackle than Johnson did all day.

3. Hoff - that gruff, hoarse, no- nonsense voice questioning refs is just what we need.
2. Kata - leading NRL try scorer, or close to it. When this happens you'd think a team should be higher up the ladder.
1. Matulino - nearly on for the entire game! The genuinely big Bulldogs pack awaits.

Think we understand you don't rate Mannering or Lillyman - bit like Mr Angry loves Stace - it's a given

I find it incredible these guys have NRL careers and are named to start week in week out. Reputation alone keeps them there, they are a major reason we are losing. What business allows themselves to bleed this bad for this long. Cut the dead stock and sign players that produce. You keep picking players on reputation and you will miss the finals year after year after year.

Last time Mannering was any good was under cleary. Lillyman luckiest player ever to play origin. Reserve grade prop who gives a decent performance one in five games.

I know i sound like an asshole, maybe I am one, but this is why the Warriors lose so much. Most of these guys are straight up reserve grade level players earning big salaries in New Zealands only NRL team.

Sooner the warriors drop Mannering, Lillyman, Robson, Wright, Luke(he is not showing up), Johnson (not NRL level half) the sooner we will begin improving. Cappy and Doyle are getting it wrong.

You're absolutely off your rocker regarding Mannering & Lillyman
Wright is ok, does his job and is hardly responsible for our dismal season.
Robson is plod. He's another Lowrie, he tries but is just a pasenger.
Luke hasn't shown up, what happened to that dynamic little bastard bursting out of dummy half?

Ah Johnson.... the ultimate enigma. He'll fire up beautifully if all the stars and planets align for him, and if it doesn't he will go hiding somewhere and that is 'almost' making him a liability. His lack of runs and metres is shocking in bad games. He doesn't work well with other halves (other than maybe Foran), and he isn't a full season player.

The truth is, we need another genuine class half or we're going to be dead again.
Leuluai will work hard but he is NOT one of them.

Johnson cannot carry this team, the worst part is we have so much genuine class littered in there running around like headless chooks.

I thought this year our attack was going to sever teams, but it's pretty close to 'season gone' territory already unless we very dramatically get coordinated.
