Are we at the stage where it doesn't matter what players we recruit?
Does it seem that any signings are false hope at best?
I get the feeling we could sign Jason Taumalolo, Cameron Smith, Latrell Mitchell and Jake Trbojevic and still play terrible football.
The New Zealand Warriors issues are squarely at coaching and managements feet.
They allow poor performing players to continually get selected which shows they have no idea how to make crucial calls that bring results.
We also have a terrible brand of football. Boring, basic and predictable.
Hiku, Green, Lawton, Blair, Papaili all are reserve grade level talent. That is 5 of your starting 13 players.
We are undersized in the forwards.
Our wingers are not wingers. Fusitua should be dropped. His performances are honestly shit poor. Maumalo is not a winger. It's hurting us. Yes, he gets our sets off to a great start but it's not working. We don't convert the momentum and we lose speed on the edge.
Having said all that cause im just ranting on things they will never address or fix.
I just don't think it matters who we recruit because everyone is protecting and keeping their jobs in management. And they are clueless.
I would love to see the club renamed and relocated to Christchurch or Wellington. Most preferably Christchurch.
It's cold there and you need the heart to play in the cold.
They have effectively killed off the Warriors brand. 1995 - 2003 was the golden period of marketing. They killed it outright. It's a damaged brand now.
I would take North Sydney Bears back over the Warriors now. I felt pride for the Bears. Now I dont even feel anything when the Warriors lose the close games. Are you feeling the same? what does that say?
What are your guy's thoughts?
