Even if he wasn't "physically able" to back up, they still should have insisted he fly with the team, be there for game day in the sheds and watching in whatever passes for a dugout. So he has to catch a few planes to add his off-field leadership to the squad, big deal.

If he cared an ounce for this team beyond his next paycheck, Hayne himself should have insisted that he accompany the squad to NZ. Arthur is weak for not making it an expectation.

Mate, you're preaching to the converted with me on this one.

A better second half in defence.
Attack was as abysmal as it has ever been. Without Hayne we have no focal point in attack.
Sandow didn't inject himself enough, and Norman just had no creativity whatsoever.
Kelly is just plain awful.

This was one to forget.

Hopefully the Dogs will lose now. That will cheer me up a bit.

Should me more like u the treasure that u are.....please, people like u are the problem not even flinching with a loss like this, this says more about u than others.
Psychic are we? I enjoy reading the melt downs here. This doesn't make me happy with the loss, the effort, or have any bearing whatsoever on my opinion of the performance. But if it makes you feel better, you believe whatever you like champ.

Woeful pea hearts. That was deserving of a 50 point margin - at least by keeping us to 0 the Warriors have ensured we can't just paper over the cracks and ignore this performance.

And let's not underestimate the impact that the mystery over Ken Edwards' absence may have also had on the squad - Jarryd stay-at-home Hayne included. ;-).

Well he has to say something.
Would you rather him blame everyone else like the last coach we had?

Oh look, Cronk that broke his arm a few weeks ago and played origin in QLD is playing tonight in Melbourne. :roll:

I just heard hayne just won the FIFA world soccer on xbox

Are you sure mate it's a bit cold, he might be at home in bed.




Can't hate on him too much though, he is the only reason this team wins any game.

Well I think we got exactly what we deserved tonight. Actually that's probably not true, we really deserved to have more than 50 put on us.

Not at all but if things aren't working why do we continue down the same path ? Kelly was dropped from first grade for a reason . You can't coach effort and commitment in defence but it is a reflection on what is being taught and trained day in day out.

My summary:

- sandow aint a fullback - it may have gone ok once, but don't do it again
- too many shirt grabbers
- warriors can go good when their heads are screwed on
- moeroa has a secure spot in the team (surely - people who CAN defend should fit in somewhere)
- we are still a methematical chance at another spoon

Who should he select?
We have half the team out injured. He doesn't have much of a choice.

You may have an argument with Sio (if he actually is ready to come back - he didn't play any grade today) and of course Hayne.

Extremely limited minutes from Lussick for the second game in a row. We are essentially playing with 16 men when we are already missing a truck load of our front line players and that is a handicap that no team in our position can afford.
