Gameday Warriors V Gold Coast

[JJ]

Warriors being sore losers - can’t play the game and can’t control their frustration

Yep, pretty disgraceful performance that - get absolutely pummelled, and then play the tough guy when frustrated, real back to the future BS - why not play tough from the start?

That performance could be a new all-time Warriors low...

 

[Alan Johnson]

Handing another team a finals spot is a poor look.

I think the funniest part is Nathan Brown blasting the warriors discipline when he recruits players who have never had discipline like Lodge, Evans, Fonua-Blake and DWZ to some degree... It's like recruiting Paul Cariage and blasting him for not playing like Turbo...

That is an excellent point - while on one level our pack looks good, you have to wonder whether it's tenable to run out a pack that contains AFB, Lodge, Evans, Tevaga etc... that's next level reckless/stupid

What's wrong with a pack with an IQ in single digits?

That's an outstanding point. Add Jazz to the mix as well, and it's just a shitshow of penalty magnets. Hardly Moneyball, is it?

Far more concerning yesterday was the shithouse handling display. Absolutely unforgivable for an NRL side.

it is probably ok if you have a strong and respected coach then they can manage it, Brown has no chance.

At least they generally they won't all roll out together in a line up as one or more will likely be suspended each week.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Good leadership from Brown and George saying there is no excuse for the behaviour yesterday, that’s a good message coming from the top

The club as a whole has had a tough couple of years, but if you look at that side yesterday, off the top of my head, Walsh, Montoya, DWZ, SOS, AFB, Egan, lodge, Curran, Aitken, Sironen, Evans don’t have any base in Auckland at all so shouldn’t be effected a huge amount by being based where they are

 

[Tongue]

Brown said he noticed lots of short cuts at training. So question is, is he a hands off, personal responsibility type of coach?
If it was noticed at training, would it not have been flagged? Or rectified?
I can understand the personal responsibility approach if there was a massive pool of players to pull from if a player doesn't perform as expected.

or the offenders fined/stood down... I don't care if it's last week of season, speaks to culture and leadership in the club... people might say Tohu and RTS aren't there, but the coaching staff is...

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Evans up for 7 weeks
Lodge 1 week.
Walsh 1 week.
Jazz a fine.

Way to freck up the start to next season by playing up in a meaningless game that you were getting hammered in anyway...

Are trials covered?

Still don't like him but respect the honesty and apology but actions speak louder than words. And lame as if trials are counted towards suspensions.
