Team v Cowboys

[Rich102]

And Green still out.

Posted on another site that Kata is injured.

Hold onto your seats . . . .teams released in half an hour . . .

Spoils it a bit, was curious to see if Kearney had the spine to drop him.

RTS
Fusi
Beale
Hiku
Maumalo

Kearney won't change the backline much at all.

I agree re: Luke, looking old and slow. Then Tevaga comes on to play hooker. That's a terrible one two combination.

Really hoping Green and Roache are back this week

LOL, as if we thought he'd drop Kata

 

[VillaTheGorilla]

Hmm some confusing things here.
If we have some injury concerns with Green and Paasi, you'd think we would have some cover named for them to slide right in....

Really hoping our plan is to swap Paasi with Pulu, and if Green goes down, what's the plan?
Also, I'm not convinced on having Luke and Tevaga as our hookers, like keeps getting injured and Tevaga can't so it all himself.
Slightly concerning....

 

[vvvrulz]

So nothing changes. Great.

 

[sup42]

I imagine they wont risk Green unless he is fully fit.

Last year they held him back an extra game even tho Green said his calf had come right.

They know he is there only hope this year.

Good to see AK make up the numbers somewhere.

Sao should go to another club.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

No surprises with the line up there.

 

[Meth]

I imagine they wont risk Green unless he is fully fit.

I thought I heard that he could have played v Bunnies, but they decided to rest him at the last minute. So, he must be fit.

 

[Meth]

meh- hard to complain about that. Obviously Kata is frustrating, but aside from that...I hope Lisone and Tevaga back up and play like they did last weekend.

 

[Leber]

No surprises there. Would love there to be some accountability for Kata one day.

 

[Benek]

If Roach is fit enough to name on extended bench, get him in there! Luke plus Jazz as hooker rotation is never going to be a game winner unless Luke turns it up and plays bigger minutes.

Will Kata ever be held accountable? So bloody frustrating! How many more games does he need to lose us before something changes?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

No surprises there. Would love there to be some accountability for Kata one day.

Its boggles the mind what Kearney is seeing in Kata that a majority are not.
Defensively a massive liability.
On attack, makes some poor decisions at times that are self centered.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Didn't Paasi strain a MCL? f**king Wolverine if he's recovered from that by Saturday.

Burr moved up front, Blair to lock, Papali'i to second row, Roache to bench because Jazz will be playing 60 minutes in the forwards and Pulu to miss out because Kearney.

PS - f**k Kata.

 

[One Warrior]

Heard Kearney on Radio Sport this afternoon, Darcy finally asked him directly

about Kata, specifically about Maumalo last year and Fusitua not profiting from

having Kata as their centre. Kearney in response was very arrogant and flippant

I felt, felt it was very unfair this being blamed on Kata and that he doesn't listen

to outside noise and conversations, can't see Kata ever being dropped. Kearney

would of not liked my outside noise as he calls it, if he'd heard me.

On another point in regards the team naming, the team named on the radio had

Keighran named on the extended bench, he was also in the team in the email I received

from the club. However on the NRL site and the Warriors site it is Patrick Herbert

named on the extended bench. So is it Keighran or Herbert?

 

[Matua]

Even injured Kata-Kearny Jnr is safe. Comical.

 

[vvvrulz]

Well Mooks, get ready to blow key games and never win a title.

 

[vvvrulz]

It's interesting isn't it; Kearney marches in promising a Melbourne Storm culture of discipline and substance, with a game plan revolving around completion and low error counts. Even puts it into practice with most of the team on board.

Then he refuses to drop our two biggest dropkicks who wouldn't cut the Storm reserve grade while we have experienced backup in the wings.

I heard that interview, I though Darcy was rubbish by pointing out the Fus combo as the reason he was under performing, and SK schooled him by saying he only touched the ball about 4 times. If Darcy was any good, he would have pointed out his defence was what cost us last week, and the Fus not passing thing was not the issue last week.

Apparently Herbert was playing centre in the drills early this week, and Kata doing sprint/injury work? Wouldn't be too surprised if Hiku goes to 6 again, with Beale in the centres, and perhaps Herbert taking the other centre spot..

 

[jaseg]

At what point does the ownership or CEO or B.Smith or even freakin' O'Sullivan step in and veto any attempt to re-sign Kaka?

Surely... surely somebody in the organisation must have a clue. Kearney is just going to keep picking the guy.
