Lowest of the lows

Who / what is SST?

I made a graph to see just how low we've sunk. The dark blue line tracks wins & losses (+1 for a win, -1 for a loss) and the orange line is our for-and-against.

Long story short = yes this is comfortably the lowest we've ever been.

*Graph updated to include that "best sporting franchise in Australasia" nonsense.

This team was shit on paper (apart from Price and Mckinnon) plus, nearly half the team were Aussies. We need to get rid of the bros.

 

[Benek]

Awesome work LeagueNut. But that's scary reading. The decline is as clear as day.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

I'd rather watch the ABs than the Warriors. Can't believe I just said that.

So would Craig Bellamy. The Storm and Mal Meninga adopts some of the ways of the All Blacks.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Warriors v Australian Rugby, what's in worse condition at the moment ?

Would have to say Aussie rugby I think

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Watched first half and defense of Wallabies looked a lot like Warriors.
Was wondering if Warriors could of picked up a ABs fitness coach, but a lot of walking going on, so probably wouldn't work in league.
We all know ABs have the cream of the crop to pick from, the competitions are strong and haven't seen to many successful union boys come across to league late in the game, they have to be picked up at school boy level, by successful NRL clubs.

I'd say egos get in the way a bit for NZRL and Warriors to do the same?

Well they did take on Graham Henry but that was last year. The Storm was in contact with the All Blacks years ago. Egos probably did get in the way but now they're desperate.

We yes to have John Hart on staff and he's ABs to the core.

He did get sacked from the ABs though, and it was ugly. So he might've had a bit of FU towards union for a while.

That's the best summation of the Warrior's history I have seen.
Monie did real good.
Anderson was great; lifted to standard. And he didn't just buy stars.
Cleary really just maintained a flat line.
Since then it's been a steady decline.
How about updating it at seasons end, not long I know, and then at the end of each season?

You would have to throw in a mid season review!

And probably a post coach sacking update.

Anderson and Cleary did exactly what the best coaches do. Honestly, when was the last time a premiership was won by a team jampacked with stars? Bellamy gets the best out of players like neilson and lowrie and I don't think its any coincidence that players often suck wholesale when they leave the Storm.
I think maybe SK subscribes to this theory, but lacks the motivational skills that Bellamy has. Bellamy takes a team of grafters, molds them around some genuine talent, drills them mercilessly, and has them beleiving they're invincible. You'd never see him telling them and their fans that's its not about winning.

I'm picking the Tigers under Cleary for next year BTW

Doesn't have to be the root around ABs culture, Crusaders seem to keep showing up, someone from their past available?

Too easy - I already keep it updated after each match anyway : )

Just edited it to include the infamous "best sporting franchise in Australasia" announcement. Interesting to see at Bluey's coaching tenure didn't turn to shit until after those proclamations.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Cleary really just maintained a flat line.

To be fair to Ivan his tenure would be a modest but steady improvement if you took 2009 off the graph, and we know that year's failure was something of an anomaly due to Sonny Fai's death.

If we're comparing Anderson to Cleary surely the former had the stronger squad?

 

[AuckMel]

I got home late from work on friday watched about 10 minutes and turned it off. I seldom last a game these days. Just want to see them win and I couldn't give a toss who plays for them.

Meh both did a great job

Kearney true to form, unfortunately -given how bad his record was you had to expect some improvement but he's a special one, no mistake. His selections and the appalling style we are implementing are spectacular

Doyle is held in high regard but can't be blameless IMO
