how did he go? I see he scored a try

shame about the result you guys must be gutted. I remember at Warrington we went through the same thing a couple of years ago, we'd been on a losing streak and we played Halifax and lost on the hooter to a try from Darryl Cardiss. 2 years on we're a big club and Cardiss plays for us, since Paul Cullen came over.

How fast is Henry?, on the RL game he is rated at 9 & 9 for speed and acceleration, now I know this is not much of a gauge but there must be something in it!.

Seemed to show a good turn of pace to score against the Cowboys last weekend.

I think Henry is a bit faster than some people realise. He certainly isn't an absolute flyer, but he has decent speed for a winger. He is a very good athlete and has a very smooth running style so sometimes he is travelling a bit faster than you think.

I find it typical of season 2004 that probably our two most consistent backs in terms of looking sharp and creating opportunities are apparently the two backs we won't be seemingly retaining in 2005. Fa'afili and Hohaia. If the clubs long term plan was to ax Henry for say Tony Martin, and Hohaia for say Leuluai who are at the Warriors for another 2 and 3 seasons respectively, our talent identification program needs as drastic an overhaul as our fitness programs.

Whos next to go if our good backs are going, how about our good forwards? Karl Te Mata? Iafeta Paleaaesina? Wairangi Koopu? Richard Villasanti, Justin Murphy and Mark Tookey signed for another 4 years each?

Onya Warriors. Changing the logo has done nothing, we still are cursed.

Maybe it's just impolite to have your tongue sticking out altogether. :p

Maybe we should just have it smiling like this :mrgreen: and then our fortunes may change.

I've been saying about the tongue all this year...coming up to 10 yrs, maybe just maybe it's haunting us this year.

Let's just stick to criticising the players. We don't need to get into all this superstitious hoop la.

If everyone is so worried, why don't they just get a Maori witchdoctor in there and rid the place of the stupid curved tongue curse.

yep, henry is very reliable defencivly under the high ball and also scores a lot of tries on attack from the high ball.

i,m glad you poms are getting schooled up on henry, cause knowledge is about the only thing you will have on him- he aint going nowhere 8)

I hope you're right on his latest performances, but remembering back to some of Mick Watson's words on the roster rotation for 2005, I wouldn't bank on it.

he was pretty much isolated out on the wing a number of times, where was any support?
Definitely a game Henry would rather forget..
