Well I'm still here and I admit he is my favourite Warriors player. Despite a poor performance (Not overall just in patches) he needs to get the same treatment as the rest of the tards that screw up time after time.

Skinner who is your favourite Warriors player if you had to pick one?

(Please no diplomatic answers like "The whole team as a collective or some similar rubbish reply")

Do you think Inu should get a chance (notice there's no "Another) to redeem himself? Or does he need to get the Vulcans jersey cleaned for another stint in the NSWRL?

My personal favourite is Nobby Locke.

Glad to see most of the post-match vitriol against Inu has subsided from last night (when I logged in after not seeing the game I thought Inu had switched sides mid-way through).

Firstly, that one handed carry. It's been used for decades by plenty of players in both league and union, don't exactly know why, but I believe it's when they want to create a line break, create something from nothing, free-flowing running, which Inu thought he could do at that stage (he backs himeself - which can only be a positive). It didn't come off and he looked terrible. If it came off and he was down in the opposition half on the first tackle, well then he's a ripper.

Secondly, his off-load in his own 20. There was eight minutes to go and his side was down by six. They had to create something. I know about field position and all that but the Warriors are famous for this sort of stuff, off-loading and creating metres. Once again, when it doesn't come off then they look bad. However, go back 30 years when no-one took a risk like this and league was pretty predictable and low scoring.

I'm making excuses for Inu, I know. Look, I just like exciting players OK? Thirteen Michael Luck's (my fav player) wouldn't do the job, nor would thirteen Inus'! (where you'd probably win 70-0 or lose 0-70).

I like Inu but those errors last night just blew it for us.
I'd be surprised if hes back next week, mind you if he is I'd say he'll be out to redeem himself.

Inu plays on the wing, or nowhere for mine...he cant be trusted anywhere else, and lets face it, it's not like our
wingers are expected to hang on to the ball anyway.

Ropati and Manu had shockers this year and got free passes, it's not Inu's fault that the warriors can't defend the line for more than one set. 5 errors lead to 5 soft tries one of which was a strip, imo the whole backline defended poorly close to our line, hanging back and sliding 5 metres out is simply diabolical.

Lots of threads recently have been depressing...

Anyway, I'd like to see Inu given another go - at centre. The errors he committed would have been committed at centre too, but players like him seem to need to make those errors and have them cost to really learn from them. Mateo is a good example of such, he's cost us dearly at times when hes pushed the offload, but nowadays he controls it a lot more and is far more valuable a player for it.

The mistakes Inu made were elementary, but they can be ironed out quick smart. He's a gifted player, and I'd be sticking with him.

This whole season is becoming depressing for me. We just can't get it right, although I do hear the comments made about us being on the right track. Perhaps if, as expected, we'd got thrashed by the Tigers last year, after the 40-10 debacle to the Broncos, my expectations wouldn't be so high.

Watching the game against Parra I turned to my dad and said 'when we're on form we'll blow them all away this year'. However, that game might be the high point.

Thank god Manchester United will win the EPL, at least then, in 2012, I'll have something to cheer about. Oh, and the Breakers I suppose.

Lol, I knew this topic was coming. I bet Bluey's having a chuckle...from where's Inu, bring in Inu, to get rid of Inu in one game!

I'm a fan of Inu, happy to admit it. More often than not his skills can win you a game. Last night he had a shocker. Shit happens.
I had faith in him as a centre, I also have faith he can fill in at F/B when required. But he stuffed up last night, no excuses.
Should he be picked again? I would. It'd be highly unlikely he would have a bad game of that magnitude again, and would be very likely keen to make up for it. But I also understand if he's dropped, because those mistakes were rippers!
I hope not though, IMO he deserves another chance.
