It would be a reactive move if it was a 1 off game, but it's been 7 games in a row now with SJ in the team without a win.
Agree with this if we are talking making one big call and sending someone down. Sending SJ would be the biggest call there is in Warriors history, but still legit in isolation after a pattern of concerning issues that are there week in week out.
Too reactive would be sending down Harris, SJ, and RTS all at the same time after a big loss, Psychologically, in a team environment, that would create the kind of media storm and negative attention that could trigger a spiral that collapses a Warriors season beyond recovery.
Which would place pressure on the B team to win NRL games without them which is fine if it works (it worked for three games) but if it fails then Webster would have placed himself on the chopping block for being a reactive knee jerk guy who vicariously admitted he had the wrong model and is throwing caution to the win on a gamble.
While a gambling coach would be refreshing, and in line with the people who even dream up these sack coach threads at a club with the worst history in the hundred NRL years of sacking coaches.....the last thing the Warriors organization needs is a maverick who sacks players left right and center and therefore makes himself a target.
If you were only allowed one reason to give for the Auckland Warriors nee New Zealand Warriors failures since nineteen ninety five, it is very clear that the sacking of coaches as a fan type knee jerk response to our eons of crap attitude players is the sole biggest contributor to why this club has never won a premiership.
If this outfit was run sensibly, people like Daniel Anderson and Ivan Cleary would have won the comp with ten year type long term planning and support.
The last thing the Warriors need is to sack their latest innovative star coach because a bunch of fans who have never coached anything in their lives think they are better couch coaches as soon as a real coach does not pick their preferred players.
Seen twenty years of that crap, and none of those fans pause to consider that their liked players might have stopped trying at training monday to Friday before the games kick off.
Sacking Warriors coaches is a trap for noobs based off team naming Tuesdays, no fan has a clue about who is abusing this club, I am talking the Konrad Hurrels eating pies, I am talking Manu and the pills and Red Bull,
Russel Packer threatening to beat up the CEO, Inu not showing up for training, Valea on his third warning coming late to training, AFB walking away from the team huddle and leaving the Captain Harris to give a speech with his best forward refusing to listen.
All this sack Webster stuff is a joke right?
You guys realize we have monkeys in our circus and the coach is the least of the problems right? which is why even Kearney had a great season before these clowns sabotaged him? Kearney was a straight up but thick as two planks guy, but he understood the Storm method by heart, which is why he is New Zealands greatest ever international coach and in a century no RL coach has even come close, it is also why Bellamy took him straight back, because Bellamy understood that the issue is the players and that the tough minded former Storm star Stephen Kearney who became a Bellamy Acolyte was never gonna be the reasont the Warriors struggled under his coaching.
Tis fascinating to me that When Webster joined the Warriors he began with a plan to copy Kearney.....focus on low errors, defence, and forget the attack till we earned it.
Dylyan Walker our new signing asked Webby if he would allow us to switch it up and do more attack last year, Walker says Webster told him no, I will tell you when it is time, right now I want you as a defensive player.
