If you made a list of players that have been off for one reason or another it's little wonder we have been rubbish for a couple of years in this competition.
Wiki has his list this is mine.
Lockes attitude has lots to be desired , a lead candidate with Johnson in why game plans weren't adhered to.
Packer was a bully and bad influence.
Johnson was full of himself some of his comments to the media in the past about Halves and coaches not always agreeing were straight out amateur and none of the good players serve their coach up like that.
Hurrell has an appalling attitude to training and he loves the camera too much.
Laumape is quick to have a sook when things aren't going his way ( there were reports of him having a look around at the Waikato chiefs set up after Hurrells flirtation with Union.....another poster claimed Ngani was having a sook about Alwood ).
Laumape decided to spend the off season on the piss.
Dane Nielson has serious issues off the field can't go into what those.
Nathan Friend had the wrong mindset about sharing his Hooking minutes , I get that he is battling to keep his Family looked after and the one year contracts aren't very nice , but the first time the Coach tried to pull Friend from the field he was refusing ( can't remember if it was Elliot or Maca who said that...pretty sure it was Elliot ).
Ben Matulino was one of Packers Boys...when they Flicked Packer Matulino tweeted about Rats and Sinking ships.....somehow we were supposed to believe that wasn't a reference to the Warriors during that sensitive time.
The Lousi Alumni tweeted about Sam Tomkins having signed / them or Gub I forget which exactly....it was a shared Joke in any case ( read thick as thieves ) that prank was at the height of the tense negotiations with Wigan which even though worst kept secret in the NRL came about due to legal contractual ' no open negotiation ' clauses in Tomkins contract.
Manu in his own way was the model of the wrong reaction after making screw ups on the field......fans do not want to see the grinning high fiving carry ons of these guys.....no one likes that stuff....so glad the Warriors have started knocking off the ' that's ok he will run hard in the next set ' weak mindset.
Feleti Martel came back from preseason two stone overweight. You have to do some serious pigging out to achieve that. Well done keep it up one day you might make the blues...what a freeloader.....him Hurrell and Laumape are campaign wreckers.
Tomkins dropping the ball and being in the wrong place to defend Low Kicks. What's wrong with this guy..? he's being paid Millions.......almost as much as Shaun Johnsons upgrade and he's deliberately not concentrating out there.....the Raiders need a Fullback.....I hope he goes there.....
Andrew Mcfadden probably ruined my dream of having a tier one coach....like Sheens.....Cappy probably stuck the Knives in Elliot too. Bennett might have come here had the Warriors not jumped the gun and given a guy who can't get over the top of a beaten up Souths team when they're about to Whither and die....as Gregan said to Wilson " Four More Years ! "
Finally.......wots all this Tosh about this Jim Doyle ?
Who the bleep is Jim Doyle ? wots he ever done for the Warriors ?
Dude sounds like a foreigner when he talks........
( half of that list is pure tongue in cheek , taking the mickey, things are actually looking up but there is some truth in the bad eggs spoiling the mix at the Warriors and losses coming out of players slack attitudes )
