Hypothetical question.

[Rich102]

Supposing the Warriors, with it's all-Kiwi spine, finishes outside the top eight this year.
Where does that leave the club?

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

It leaves us pointing the finger at the forwards

This, and the fact that a winning team culture and players with the right attitude are more important the the skill, on paper, of a few key players.

All of that and winning or close losses breeds that positive culture and that self belief that no matter what, they can be competitive for 80 mins every week.

Where would you rate our pack in the competitions forwards? Because I agree with both of yous that if we dont make the eight, its because of our pack that were not overly excited about. If I was Kearney I wish I could say to the pack 'stuff Will Smiths Concussion movie, put your body on the line, sprint to bust with every hit up and tackle legitimately with EXTREME aggression and intent to injure', but its easier said then done. They'll be trying hard but theres always someone better.

If they operate like a unit instead of 'Mannerings good' and 'Gavet and so and so' played good today... they got the traffic control in the spine, if we get the positive collective consistent effort from the forwards, our spine will go to the next level and we'll be in that eight. Comfortably.

Souths
Saints
Dogs
Roosters
Storm
Raiders
Cowboys
Panthers
Sharks

Packs better than us. Id say we are equal with Broncs

 

[jamaman]

As shown against the eels we need to play the game at speed..this will make up for lack of size

At first glance, I thought 'no way' but then after going through them, Id say thats a fair conclusion being par with the Broncs.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Broncos backs are playing better footy hence why they have won and played better games

 

[WellsNZ]

Right where I expected them to be.

 

[JJ]

Broncos have a better pack IMO if only because over a reasonable period they've clearly been better, same with Eels. Until we pony up for an extended period it's just rhetoric

Actually I think weight of possession won us that. If our pack concentrates on completion rate they at least more or less gain parity.

Where are we left if the Kiwi spine can't deliver the top eight ?

Someone better call Daniel Anderson.

What's hypothetical ?

 

[MKEB...]

What's hypothetical ?

Being super pathetic?

 

[sup42]

Being super pathetic?

You mean pothetic

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Actually that would be hyperthetic

Hypothetical is lacking in theticness

 

[ozbash]

I've got some of that in the shed.. it's good stuff.

I'll pay that
