Dunno about experience, Allwood has played 4 more games than Maumalo has.

I can probably understand why Allwood is playing, if he's been going okay in NSW Cup. At the end of the day I don't want the spoon and McFadden sure as shit won't either. I'd still like to think he hasn't just said Ken you're down this week, get your confidence up because it's a lot more than that.

But Lousi over RFM, give me a spell. Lousi won't even reach 50 games and he debuted six seasons ago. He's rubbish. RFM is a potential gun and none of us can work out why he was dropped. To pick Lousi makes zero sense in any manner.

That would worry me if it was at a packed-out Leichhardt, aided by plenty of media coverage. The Sydney media won't be giving too much of a stuff with what's happening in Campbelltown.

They went hard on it tonight lol was on every NRL show on fox. Can see it being the theme of the week. "Farah proves critics wrong with 10 try assists against hapless warriors and earns an extension" lol

It not just about NRL experience. Allwood is older and been in system longer.
Note: Elliot would of qued up allwood not cappy - obviously elliot got sacked before it was finalised.

Maumalo was never meant to be a NRL this quick.
Ackland didnt even play him or put time into him it was Jones that actually gave him time
He was meant to be a longer term option.

Unfortuately having Laumape, Fish, and Fusitua - injured or in the latter made of glass he has had to play.

Maumalo can run the ball hard, he can catch high-balls. At NSW Cup he has also been a good finisher at times. OBviously at NRL level his defence & finishing need more.

But you couldnt get an more inexpereinced left side (well you could if Hoffman was injured).
If Maumalo was playing with experienced players it would be a different story.
But I wouldnt write Maumalo off yet - make 3rd or 4th choice winger and let him develop.

You wrong re: RFM he has to be managed - near no one in the NRL comes in debut then plays every week. They arent ready for it particularly forwards.

Lisone was oustanding at start of the year, Vete was impressive but niether should be playing every week yet. Joe Ofanagahue from Broncos was arguably the best prop (along side Lisone) in NYC last year but has only been blooded a few times.

RFM would have the lowest bodyfat be one of the fiittest Warriors NRL players but mentally he needs to develop. He needs to play tougher and show a bit more intensity on defense.

He needed a rest and was quiet at NSW Cup level last week.
Whilst Lousi had been good but moreso RFM needs a rest.

Kata's debuted and played every week, and showed every signs he needed a rest...but never got it. So I'd be surprised if RFM needs a rest after 10 games, some off the bench. I know it's a different position and workload but I don't see how playing Lousi over him is of any benefit. Lousi is f**king hopeless and I don't know how everyone doesn't see it. He's never good.

I agree on Vete and Lisone, incidentally.

As for Farah and co, not that I should worry anyway but I'm not the least bit concerned there'll be a boilover on Sunday. That team doesn't play for him - which is why they're 7 win, 15 losses - and in times of turmoil he sooks and performs worse. So this might actually be our best chance to get them.

Yeah, RFM is rally bizarre, as is the lack of any media comment

Tigers really hard to predict, have been all year - either they'll beat us very very well (they have that potential) or they'll be a rabble - tbh if it's the latter, it's a bad sign for Taylor

I have a bad feeling we'll be embarrassed again today by the last placed team. What does that make us? At some stage someone needs to work out why the Warriors fall to pieces at the back end of every season.

I'm actually heading into this game for some reason. I reckon I might get on tele, the cameras shouldn't have too many Warriors fans to point to when we stuff up a play.

Was kind of shocked to see the spoon talk, didn't realise we could still get that 0_0. Scary thought, could get swamped at the end of the season here.
