Kearney weilds the axe.

[Wheeled Warrior]

The past 2 games I would say Fus has been more atrocious on defence and game awareness than Kata. Easy to pick on Kata I know it Rhymes with Kaka lol

Kata looks like he is trying and failing.
Fus often doesn't look like he is trying/giving 100%

I heard Kata urgently needed to chop some firewood (he was saying his wife and kid were shivering at home), so he conveniently asked to borrow Kearney's axe on Monday night.

The slight difference being that Kaka has three years of atrociousness while Fus's seems to coincide with Kaka being placed on his side.

I agree with this. It's really concerning.

Kata had no part in Fus not marking his own man. He was looking into the wilderness no respect at all on defense. Robbie had Fus in his sight all through that game.

Yeah unfortunately Fus going to sleep is all on his own. He’s played brilliantly at times in shit teams, and vice versa - seems to be no real reason.

I don’t get it, could be off season fitness as half the team looks tired and sore.

Oh yeah Fus blew it big time, doesn't take away from the fact we've had years of it with Kata and he's a protected species.

I'm willing to give Fus time because he hasn't been shit the majority of his career - but I'm not surprised that he's reached peak shit outside of Kata.

 

[guten_targ]

FFS did you people really expect Kearney to make wholesale changes (At Home) for a team like the Titans? I mean really?

Being the Titans (who have defended their line a lot better than the warriors) gives him a chance to have some faith with his first choice pick of the crop, Beale suddenly doing a Houdini though?...why the hell did Kearney pick him for his lack of match time if he was going to drop him like this.

Optimistic score pick here, Warriors by 8, For and against for the past two matches suggests Titans by 14.(sigh)

 

[vvvrulz]

On the flipside, the Titans would have been a good opponent to trial new combinations against.

Our draw is about to get a whole lot less friendly.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

It's hard to write off any team against us since we got thrashed by both the Tigers and Manly.

In regards to Fus - he's a world class winger. I said that when Cappy dropped him and when no-one was really raving about him. I'm not sure what happened last week but it's not good for our team when our only real finisher is playing poorly. Ken is not a finisher, he's meter eater. Let's hope Fus comes back soon and lets not forget that Fus scored a lot of his tries last year through opportunities created by those inside him.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Beale should be instructing his manager to explore options immediately, absolutely disgraceful

ive watched his 2 games in reserve grade. absolute mud. there is reason he is not getting picked

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Beale is playing shit in reserve grade. We have a lot of depth at centre and wing so Kearney has to start using it. This week Taane Milne is starting, him and Ayshford are the 2nd rowers in reserve Grade. Also got Patrick Herbert in the centres and he is awesum. The otheer centre is Adam Pompey, hes not in the squad of 30 but just kills it. Beale has experinace over Pompey and Herbert but thats all. They shit over him

Is he though?

Im not so sure he is.

Does he play like a winger? not much

He scores acrobatic trys from 5 - 10m out. But he is no fox

He is no Cotric

He is no Oates

Im not actually convinced he is that good a winger. I think he is wasting away there..

Warriors should play him in the centres. Or move him to Fullback and put RTS at 6.

Fus is better than Oates and Cotric. He scores tries that not many can. Oates and Cotric have never led the league in try-scoring. No other WINGER is as quick as the Fox so if you're comparing him for speed, than Fus is under just like everyone else. Fus will overpower the Fox as the Fox is an absolute stick figure who needs help from his team mates to keep him in the field everytime he gets tackled.

I said he was world class last year, you didn't argue that last year. Yet after 2 bad games where he makes mistakes like Maumalo does and all of a sudden you question him as a winger??

Nah stupid idea to put him at centre. We put him there before and he was half the player he was.

Fullback? Yes, he can play there, no problem. But if we shift RTS anywhere else, he'll shift out of NZ 'cos he loves fullback.

I'm not saying Fusitua is not a good player.

What I'm saying he is not a good winger for 80m of the field. Inside the opposition 20m he awesome for bombs and corner finishes.

I struggle to think of anything he does good outside of that apart from the odd kick off the set run.

He doesn't get involved.

I'm sorry, but Cotric is a superior player to Fusitua. Have you seen the tries Cotric scores?

They are killer. He runs them in from everywhere.

When was the last time you saw Fusitua light up a field on the attack?

Has he ever scored a try from behind half way? His highlight reel is essentially handovers from SJ.

Last year almost all those tryies were inside the opposition 10m!

SJ is gone now Fusitua has very little to offer.

Better than Oates? NO

Oates is State of Origin player. A bloody good player.

RTS would do whatever helped the team I believe.

Put RTS at 6, Fusitua at 1 and Perham on the wing and we look a bit stronger wouldn't you agree?

Not until you put a competent centre inside him.
Maybe Ayshford?

 

[vvvrulz]

To be honest the last time we were regularly scoring tries from behind halfway was when McKinnon, Witt and Gatis were slicing up the middle of the park.

JRo and Manu were semi-regular at it, and Johnson with some solo freak runs.

But in recent years our bumbling centres and astonishing lack of support play has killed long range tries. What happened to the good ol days when our fast men would fly behind a potential line break to go on a mighty gallop down field. No urgency for years, when someone like RTS or Luke gets through there’s not a Warriors jersey in sight.

Oates is leading the league for try scoring at this moment.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Brandy got stuck in on nrl 360 last night, said he is absolutely stunned that a 3 game rookie is the scapegoat, and that you could have had bob fulton at 6 and it wouldn’t have made any difference because the rest of the team weren’t having a go, and he was also shocked at the lack of physicality as well
