-3 -2 -1 v Tigers!

[Philip_Smith007]

-3 Henderson! Missed more tackles than a school girl!
-2 Moon, defensively sh*t, continues to rush out of the line and miss his man
-1 Locke & Tupou for some brain snaps on more than one occasion.

Hon. mention to some sh*t calls by the ref, especially in the play the ball area and some forward passes both ways.

Take nothing away from the Tigers who didnt take the foot of the throat and how to break an unorganised defensive line and a team well down on troops!

When in Manu back?
What is the situation on Seymours knee bump?
Maloney back next week?
Luck's webbing healing?

Dragons next week.........................................

3-Lance

I would have been better than most of the backline tonight...Bill Tupou pffft.

I dont care about team reshuffles/injuries etc...This is first grade football i.e you dont get players any better so I expect professional's not f**king amatuers in disguise.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Easy enough as there's only 3-4 players who actually appeared to put in.

3. Packer
2. Matulino
1. Mannering

Ta'ai and Tate tried hard but weren't given any real opportunity.

I agree actually...Mannering...Matulino and to some extent Packer did put in.

not much of a spy are you 007...henderson missed two tackles :? i imagine you are just on the bandwagon of bashing henderson. he tried and i thought he was one of the better ones out there. look for a better excuse to put the boot in next time ey or maybe you can actually watch a game properly?

i do agree with you on tupou and locke though, fair call. moon got alot of offloads when he did actually touch the ball, have to give him credit there.

3 - packer (surely would have topped the tackle and hit up count, was very busy)
2 - royal (wouldnt have been far behind packer with work ethic)
1 - henderson (kept putting in, good effort out of position)

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Henderson's early missed tackle count (numbers are always adjusted) is 5.

I thought he got hung out to dry a bit. He has no business playing in the backrow, especially those sort of minutes. Worst of all was the decision to stick him one off from a scrum. Benji toyed with him all game and yet still no adjustment came.

 

[Dirty Hoe]

was to be expected, hes a hooker. he was definately hung out to dry. either or, it shows the lack of talent we have at the club and the unwillingness of the coach to try new talent. i still gave him a point for the effort he put in regardless. he kept going and didnt put his head down. he went alot better than i had expected out of position

 

[Dirty Hoe]

i purposely exaggerated the missed tackles of henderson...he certainly wasnt the worst offender on the paddock

3- heremaia
2- matulino
1- royal

 

[AliN]

Tai'a
Mannering
Hendo - playing out of position and putting in the most effort on the night, but too small for the back row.

 

[Micistm]

Can't comment as I turned it off early into the second half. Was gutted. Was filthy after the Locke play the ball call which led to the end of the first half crap, but got over that quickly enough with the sh*t that followed.
Appalling. Truely bad, and I wonder if we will get an apology like the Tigers fans did a couple of weeks ago? ;-)
It's a rare game I can't stand anymore and have to turn off, but last nights was one such game. Not to mention the missus will never let me hear the end of it as I made her leave a party early to get home to watch it!
What can you say about it? I know we've got some injuries, and a few calls didn't go out way...but the defence that allowed that blowout was just cringeworthy.
It gets so frustrating for us Southerners trying to get League going down here, and need to Warriors to look like they are going to put on a decent game for the Chch game to get bums on seats- But I wouldn't blame any 'maybe' fan not bothering to waste their time and money to go along and chance seeing a sh*t display like that.
Just poor.

I dont know what they call a missed tackle, but he was beaten a few times on the outside as well, where he didnt even touch the man. He was playing out of position in defence and it showed.
Pretty sure I was watching properly, can't bring myself to watch the replay, but watch Daniela's 2nd try, Hendo's ineffective tackle allows an offload from Lui. Daniela's 3rd try, Packer is making more ground than Henderson. And dont mind being corrected but pretty sure the next set Hendo is left wanting (on the ground) again when Chris Lawrence breaks the line to score a run away.

Maybe I just expected more from him and I took my frustrations out on him?

My "spys" also now say 7 miss tackles.

[Iafeta]

The bloke I was happiest with last night was Ben Matulino. He was looking very good in the limited carries he got. Could Cleary have been right that he is in actual fact an NRL prop?

Philip, Henderson was very slow in lateral movement last night. There were a few times I watched his channel being split when he was sauntering across like a hippo sleeping and stuck in mud. The Tigers seemed to be looking for him all night.

Poor old Locke and Tupou, absolutely horrific performances from those two young men. Ouch. I felt in particular for Locke, at least he looked like he was upset with it all. What his team-mates needed to do was to tell him to keep his heads up, but they all seemed shot as well.

their centres really let them down as well, and like you said locke looked like the only one in the three-quarters who looked pissed off about it at all.

if you didn't know the state of injuries you'd have thought it was our backline that had been torn apart with injuries, not the forwards.

 

[ozbash]

their centres really let them down as well,

Tate and JRo were f**king hopeless really, they must have been 'stepping up' and trying to cover every position on the park,, at once !

Benny had a great game but he just starts to get warmed up and he's hooked.

Whats with our 2 most go forwardest( ) players, packer and Tai'a, going off at the same time ?
Seriously, shouldnt one be on when the others off ??

 

[Revelation 3:20]

3 - Matulino
2 - Mannering
1 - Tai'a

Hon. mention - Packer, Hohaia, Tate, Seymour (before he got injured), Royal (played his best game)

-1 - Ropati (lots of hit ups but stink on D), Locke (attacked with more confidance, Defence was average), Topou, Hendo
-2 - Latimore
-3 - Moon
-1,000000 - Cleary (get rid of him, he's no good)

 

[Drzoidberg]

3 Packer Never gave up. His chasing of Tigers players on linebreaks was amazing, hes got a bit of top end but sh*t all acceleration. Maybe needs to do the Iafeta or jerry run up on to the ball, I think he could smash lines if he was more aggressive and runs on to that sh*t like a bull
2 Matulino Good effort wasnt missing as he has been.
1 Taai He is impressing me every week

All those hits we were putting on in the first 30, I thought we were doing allright. Butterfingers at the wrong end leading to easy tries, heads dropping leading to soft defense and missed tackles and even easier tries.

So are we going to be 7 starting players down next week?

 

[Glen from the Mount]

3 - Hohaia
2 - Packer
1 - Mannering

It was the first time I have left a game before fulltime since we were beaten 52 - 0 in a test match at Homebush about 10 years ago.

 

[Warmess]

Horrible luck having the only half injured and causing us to go into disarray, but my God, what was that effort?

That better be the last time I see Moon in the 6 jersey, and a Warriors jersey for that matter.

3. Matulino
2. Ta'ai
1. Mannering

-3 Moon
-2 Henderson
-1 Ropati

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Saying "they're professionals, you can't blame the injuries" is a little bit silly imo

The reason we sucked so bad is the injuries, end of story for mine. ok, so maybe they gave up a bit, but how was that bunch of blokes on the field ever not going to get flogged?

After Seymour went off we had no halves on the field, we're missing our two best props, two starting backrowers, and the one genuine attacking weapon in our backline. That was a reserve grade side on the paddock last night.
