Team v Storm

[Blair]

Guys, I'm working tomorrow and won't be on the game day thread. A bit of moral support would've been great but I'll face the reality when I get home and log on here.

If 'FO Kearney' is red hot then I'll know we got put to the torch.

If we win it'll be one of the great Warriors wins, no doubt about that. I have some faith, very little, but some.

 

[One Warrior]

This believe it or not is now the official team from NRL website, sorry about how it looks:

The Rundown
Team news
Storm: Marion Seve replaces Curtis in the centres, with Albert Vete dropping off the extended bench.

Warriors: Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (hamstring), Blake Green (groin) and Solomone Kata (compassionate leave) are out, with Gerard Beale starting at fullback, Peta Hiku on the wing, Blake Ayshford and Patrick Herbert in the centres and Tohu Harris joining Chanel Harris-Tevita in the halves. Isaiah Papali'i starts in the second row, Tevita Satae joins the interchange.

[One Warrior]

My reaction to the above f**ked up team is as follows:
Kearney you f@@king moron WTF is this, WTF did you put Perham a specialist fullback/half on your the extended bench and then you lose your first choice half and fullback and don’t use him, resign now to save us from anymore of your crap and lies.

 

[Iron Lion]

WHAT THE F@CK.

IS THIS A JOKE.?

IS THIS A F@CKING JOKE?

WORST NIGHTMARE REALISED.

If this team runs out, I'm done. Kearney is a joke of a coach.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

It could be worse. Kata’s not there

[Mr Angry]

Halfback for Warriors is number 12 Tohu Harris

What did this poor man do?

Man he must regret leaving the team he is about to play......

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Worst warriors backline of all time ?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

So Green “could have played” against Souths but didn’t want to risk him is now missing his 3rd game, wonder how serious it actually is

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Worst warriors backline of all time ?

Haha wouldn’t go that far but maybe since the late 90s

 

[spear tackle]

That's it , I'm getting blind drunk tonight just to get the sense of humor going more than anything else

 

[Rich102]

Sad thing is these guys are getting good money to do this to our club.

 

[Benek]

Why Beale at fullback? Hiku has covered well there before. Swap them.

Why not Hayze at fullback if he was named on the extended bench? Everything aligned for him to get a start, but then it didn't happen.

Why not AK in the halves so Tohu can play in position?

Special Steve is the master of the stupid selections.

Storm to score 60.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

So Green “could have played” against Souths but didn’t want to risk him is now missing his 3rd game, wonder how serious it actually is

An article I read in the NZ herald last week that Green apparently wrote is the injury to his groin is unexplained and he working to get it to come right.

 

[Blair]

Ayshford has been playing second-row in reserves and now he's suddenly back to centre, against the best team in the comp?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

What happened to the support SK was meant to have around him?
As surely no one can agree with what is going on here.

 

[Blair]

All this selection chaos can only mean one thing, we win against the odds tonight.

 

[VillaTheGorilla]

Yeah I think this is the biggest masterstroke of all time by Mr Kearney.

Warriors 13+ comfortably

 

[Matua]

So, how do the Cameron George fluffers on this forum explain away/justify the fact the Warriors are starting a 2nd rower in the halves, and have started an outside back in the halves?

"We don't need to buy another half", "Hiku and Harris wont start in the halves". Now these aren't word for word quotes but this was the kind of stuff being bandied around when Johnson wisely jumped off the sinking ship.

What utter bollocks.
