Team v Broncos

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Its official. Reporting theat Johnson, Ayshford and Lillyman are the ones dropped.

Lillyman... Our best prop and ayshford... Our best back.

Hes lost the plot. Im done with this team. Season ticket holder for 8 years but I wont renew if this blokes in charge.

not even close

He got this part right:
'Hes lost the plot.'

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

with the absence of rts thats probably our strongest line up

What's Tevaga done wrong? I'd have him over Roache. Roache is to small to play hooker. I guess at least he's a better bench cover than playing a winger in the 17 jersey.

And what's with still picking TL?

 

[Iafeta]

Whilst Roache's frame isn't big, he's put some decent bulk on. The dudes calves are massive.

Most of it I agree with, but I can't see what Tevaga has done wrong. If anything. John Palavi I think falls out because he's similar to the other backrowers, because other than that I thought he did a good job in first grade this time around.

People outta position but Cappys the coach so that's what we'll be watching and SUPPORTING!! Cmon boys!

McFadden is clueless

At making a team win, he definitely is.

Making them lose is what's he hired for. Conspiracy. So in that regard, he's a doing really good.

Just Happy Manu is back...

Especially Tui at fullback.

Let the young guns let loose SJ and Tui I say.

'The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over, and expecting a different result'.

That's about all I have to say.

Except to say that the media are just as weak as piss.

The Herald, and David Skipwith (Hi David, I know for a fact you journos read this site for ideas) ran with the fact that Matulino and Ayshford were going to be dropped. It was obvious this was guess work, as no one picks a side the night of a game, before a bye.

Then...this! Wholesale changes were predicted in the immediate aftermath, but the likes of prop Ben Matulino and centre Blake Ayshford, who had unhappy outings, may be granted a reprieve as they come off a bye round looking to resurrect their finals hopes.

Never believe a word you read.

I think it?s the backrow that is slowing the team.

Thomsen is the best support runner of the 3, while Hoffman and Mannering die with the ball too much and lack creative skill which the game?s top backrowers seem to have.
In defence they need to stay in there lanes and stop crossing over. I would play Ali or Jazz ahead of them to try and create some second phase.

I though Simon and the Hoff were two of the stand up players against the raiders

Yeah true that, I can't remember the last time Mannering or Hoffman created something. I guess they're more hole hitters than back rowers that like to keep the ball alive. Cue in someone like Matulino who can play back row and is able to dangle the ball carrying arm.

Very good observation though and now that I think about it, that's a big part of the old Warriors playing style is the offload. We use to always offload back in the Ali days and so fourth.

 

[AuckMel]

Starting to wonder if we're playing for draft picks. Oh wait....

 

[One Warrior]

Still we have Leuluai at 6, not Lolohea and still Matulino remains in the team, Cappy keeps making the same mistakes. The guys who played the fewest minutes are the ones dropped, Wright & Allwood were always going to make way for Manu and Kata, they were not dropped. Why can we not see more of Lane and Sipley,
what has Lane done wrong, he has only played 15 minutes, if he does not get more game time he will be gone at the end of the season, bringing Gubb back is not the answer.

You are clearly allowing for the 6 players backing up from SOO.
