Round 19 V NZ

[Fangs]

That sin bin was f**king criminal.

Binned for Luke milking it. Then they award a try to Warriors after a blatant obstruction. The fix was on.

But fortunately Warriors always lose the unlosable. Cleary knew how to punish them.

Warriors and the Knights need a sales lesson.

A B C

Always. Be. Closing.

They butcher so many games. Game felt like it turned when Johnson went off. But f**k me, its the Kiwi spine. You can't argue that they lack direction without him.

Incredible performance by Cleary. He seized control of the game and was fantastic. It makes me wonder if we'd be better off giving Cleary the express instruction that he is to lead the team around the park and just have Moylan play second fiddle to him.

5/8's should naturally play a second fiddle & inject where necessary.

I think this would make Moylan a better player anyway. Without having to force things he can be more natural.

 

[herbert henry1908]

I hink we should go back to when Moylan was fullback. I think Griff and Gould have foreseen Cleary as the future playmaker.

Going by tonight's display,I can see were that logic came from.Maybe keeping May at 5/8,and having Moylan back at fullback might be the positional way to go for now until we recall Edwards in case of injury.

What I predict for now might sound blasphist to some.But for the long run,it might be for the best.

I think the worst thing we could do is make major decisions like that because of one game.

Moylan needs to learn to adapt with Cleary & Cleary needs to learn to demand the ball more. The combination can work it just takes good coaching to get it there. With brandy helping out at training I'm confident that can happen.

Who did a number on you to make you a compulsive death-rider of our club.

Go find your own club to shit on.

Arghhhhh

Please don't take it upon yourself to say who should & shouldn't be a fan. He's entitled to his opinion.

Don't like it? Tackle the opinion.

See I knew we would be fine with the NYC combinations. Going forward it won't work like it did with those Pea hearted Warriors.

Hopefully it shows Nathan how he should control a team. It was nice to see that set play for Cleary's 2nd. Need more of that Edwards was signed as a half need to use him more

 

[franklin2323]

It was a fkn great win. Guess I just didn't wanna be shot down for enjoying it because "it's only the Warriors". Fully aware of their record this year. Hats off to Cleary and the boys

Enjoy away. Given who we had out. Then lost Merrin and the sin bin it was a tough win. Hopefully sets us up going forward

Meh I'm on the beers and know i carry on a bit. Doesn't bother me if I upset him. All good

 

[OldPanther]

We really don't need to make changes. The forwards just have to follow RCG and Moylan needs to let Cleary play his game as well and we will be point scoring monsters.

 

[OldPanther]

The spine of our 2015 premiership-winning NYC side back together again! We're a development club. We build from within #pantherpride https://t.co/D08d7v7ePk

 

[Thirsty Panther]

Not that bad if Moylan is out.
It will give Cleary a chance to assert himself.
The opposition sides already know that, what little attacking structure we have, comes from Moylan. So with him missing it should leave them guessing.

Sometimes I get it right

Spot on. We use Moylan too much leaves us predictable. We have 3 games we should win by plenty to get it going. Put Bryce on the bench the last few weeks and who knows. We may actually compete with the better teams

The warriors should withhold forans pay check after that performance he was atrocious, I doubt he will still be in the kiwi spine if he keeps that up

Bryce may have to come straight in for Merrin. Big risk

We finally looked to be having some luck with injuries. I really don't want to miss the finals and have that excuse hanging over us as a get out for Griffin. Not saying we miss the finals though.

He can and probably will say it but this year was lost in the first 10 rounds. So it shouldn't wash with anyone really

I mentioned it last week, Moylan is going pretty good with his move to 5/8 but he is demanding the ball to much, Cleary highlighted that tonight. He Needs to trust his teammates a bit more to create and pick the important times to handle rather than everyplay.
We are still crippled by our flat attack though, the back line is not being used at all. If we don't score through the middle or off kicks we don't score.
In saying all that I enjoyed that game a lot. Easily one of our strongest performances of the year ( not that we have had many).

 

[herbert henry1908]

Was our best performance of the year, no doubt.

In NZ is never easy, but with the sin bin, Moylan injury & Merrin Injury it was a great win. Warriors had also won 9 in a row coming off a bye.

Still I really want to see us work on getting the centres & winters more involved, it's criminal how little ball they're seeing.

We all call for that and then Blake drops a kickoff haha
