Everyone played a part in getting us 20 points down and similarly everyone played their part in the comeback.

Also for the Fus pile on, he had 21 hit ups and ran for 180 metres plus. He has his issues but That isn't the output of a bloke who doesn't give a shit.

While correct, I'd happily give up those metres for a winger who's contesting and winning bombs, marking up properly and making crucial tackles. Unlike Maumalo, Fus has clearly demonstrated he's capable of these things in the past.

Ken's not been much better this year, there was a defusable bomb in this match he just noped out of and it was lucky we got a favourable bounce. It's also lucky RTS is a magician.

I know it was set up for us to overrun the raiders in the 2nd half given their injuries but we actually did it. In the past we have not quite got it across the line so that was a real positive around our attitude.

Quite a few Fus Haters but i think you all are being a little harsh. Apart from the stupid play when he got carted back into goal, he was ok. He carted the ball up like a forward 20 times into the teeth of their big forwards. Only Roger did more. Also, he took a critical catch when Raiders tried a short dropout and we got a try from the resulting play and gave us more time to get the winning try. On the other side of the field Maumalo let the ball bounce another 2 times so no improvement from the Knights game..

Bunty chased down a break in first half to shut down CNK saving a try.
Fus did not put in the same effort when rushing up (caused by Hiku rushing up) and missing everyone and Raiders ran away to score. He turned and jogged back and no where in the shot.(except the downfield one) That's the not giving a shit attitude. 8 mins into second half, Raiders last try.

I did comment when it happened that the difference between the worst of the Warriors and the best of the Raiders was exemplified in Fus' minimal effort to get out of the in-goal and the Raiders' maximum effort to get him back in there.

Bunty had 4 carries all game (the starting frontrower) whereas Fus did his job for him most of the game with 21 carries and 180m. You guys need to stop accentuating the negatives and give him a smidgen of credit.

No
He had a lazy lazy attitude in defence yesterday. Rushed in numerous times. The last play when RTS saved the day was because Fus rushed outta line when it was 3 on 3. We had of lost the game he would of been playing QLD cup at Easter

i dont know about 3 v 3. If he stays out on the wing as you are suggesting thats a pretty tough assignment for Kodi to cover 4 other players. Rapanas not even in this picture as hes flying down the outside and CNK is moving in behind Croker. I dont know where Murchie was as he was supposed to be filling in for Hiku. Fus didnt have a centre inside of him for most of the second half so comms wouldnt have been great. Maybe he is lazy and Ive put the boot in before, but i didnt think he was that bad in this game.

the 7.5 minute mark in the 2nd half when the Raiders make the break from their own half - Kodi and Fus are both in the exact same spot once they are beaten but Kodi chases back and Fus doesn’t

and when he pushed back 8 metres

the intensity and hunger wasn’t there

Swap Fus out for Montoya
Swap Ken out for Turner

We need speed out wide. Our forward pack does most the metre eating now. Which makes Fus and Ken redundant for 2021.

Broncos should take Fus not the rumored Perham. He has more to offer the Warriors I feel.

Great win Team made my weekend.
