Can't wait to hear Ozbash come in and defend him.

you cant defend that, shame because i thought the rest of his game was pretty tight.

Actually agree with you, he was having a pretty good game up until that point. Making decent metres and plenty of tackles....but that plus giving a penalty away straight away afterwards kinda turned that around.

I think maybe we should go Byrne to the wing, Koopu to the centres, Martin to the bench, Anderson to the backrow... Swann>Ah Van> Martin isn't a particularly inspiring decision from the outset but you can rotate him into the centres and move Koopu to the backrow. Anderson is good to go for 60 minutes, as long as he controls his discipline. That's been the only area Swann has beaten him this year, discipline.

I feel the team will be the same, with the only player in doubt Ah Van with perhaps MArtin to roll onto the wing or into the centres. I just don't know if Patrick is up to this level yet, he's got a lot of chinks to fix up. He's still a young kid, we have to remember this.

I think Anderson and Swann are resonably similar when it comes to discipline. Both are good for a penalty or two a game.

But I would like to see Anderson come into the side, add a bit more aggression and attack. I'd also say that he would get through a similar work rate on defence as well.

If we get the oppertunity to play next week I'd have the starting line up as follows

McKinnon,Byrne,Koopu,Mannering,Crockett,Witt,Rovelli,Rapira,Gatis,Price,Wiki(needs to play more game time)Anderson,Luck.

Wiki... the brother is hard, he's brave... but he was hurting like a mofo last night and it showed... I really want him to have a good off season and come back firing. This year hasn't been his best, he's trying hard, there's just nothing in the tank.

In sky news tonight, no more post match interviews for McKinnon, unless the Warriors win.

Now you can see why Hindmarsh says that McWade's nickname at Parra was "Tourettes".

Even if we did win and he was interviewed, a likely dialogue would be:

McIvnoidea:" Wade, you deserved the win,"

Wade: "f**k yeah, we played like f**king rippers,... are we on camera?"

McIvnoidea: " A good feeling?"

Wade:'" aww sh** it was..."

Ah Van probably has worst hands then Manu.

Yep Koops has to go to the centres if we play next week and Anderson in. Koopu and Byrne is a good combo.

Ah Van is a young kid - it was always going to happen. Should never had been selected.

baggin Swann - this coming From mr I luv mannering?
Swann may have bombed a try - mannering gave one away.

How sad the kiwis have to pick him in the centres???he extra-ordinary. nowhere near test level.

Warriors outside backs were/are kaka - crockett is one-trick pony can only finish sitters.

Lauaki - showed why he shouldnt be awarded a test duty, too much of a liability. He needs to be taken to rugby league school - coaches need to tell him what to do on the field i.e find his niche.

Agree with Joe D - whoever gave him the ball close to the line deserves to be shot.

Also rovelli showed he was all kaka, had nothing when parras wings rushed up.

Luck - he has been awesome, an maroon jersey next season is certainly not out of the question. (especially when they pick myles).

I argee with making the change with Byrne to wing and Koopu to centre, Wai runs great angles. Throw Swann out, bring in Anderson and Hohaia on the bench. We've lost so much without Ropati and Vatuvei. Lets face it both teams played like kaka and neither should of won.

Also so that means Inu gave away our first try?

:lol: :lol: You are a joke. Swann blows a blantent try and you somehow try relate it to Mannering. Who cares that I think Mannering is a good player with a good future. I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me. You can keep having cracks at him because I don't really care. Whatever makes you feel better.

I know Swann blew a big try - and i know it was a big play.

Im trying not to relate it to swann, but too relate to the whole game?? which is a logical thing to do.

But too pull that out by itself??? Swann blew four points, so did Mannering and Ah Van.

Inu - he came back and played on - took some heavy hits, got up and played with class.

I'm not having cracks at mannering mate - but at u.lol.

ur a joke.

Meh, diving on a bouncing ball after suddenly changing running line is a lot easier than moving the ball left.

I wanted cleary sacked if they didnt make the eight - they did.
But this years comp has had a low standard to make the eight.

If any should be applauded it is Richard Becht warriors p.r man.

No cred - Skinner your the one who acts like he is in the know. but really only team u coach is in NRL fantasy football.

Scurrah - he's not making statements anymore so dont mind him.
Also they have started to get rid of some of the deadwood aussies - in martin and byrne.

Still far from the perfect squad - media keeps on harping on about.

In other words, as I said to you at the time, you should have given them more time, rather than assume you were "in the know", when in actual fact you knew, and still know, SFA about the Warriors or the game of rugby league. What outrageous statements did Scurrah ever come out with?

They won 13 with 1 draw out of 24 games. I think that's an acceptable record for a supposedly "still far from the perfect squad". That's the problem with you, all huff and puff, no substance, contradicting yourself more than a yo-yo changes direction.

Total credibility=ZERO. You should align yourself with lockyno1 and wittyfan, you might learn something about the game from those two.

Just because the warriors have made the eight - obviously Cleary has proven himself and will rightfully keep the job for at leat another two years.
I said if they missed out on the finals - he should go, just as Graham and Kemp did.

Also agree with Taniwha,
Wairangi was close to warriors best outwide he actually threatened the line and was the only player running out wide with pace.

Just b'coz everyone is suddenly in love with the warriors - doesnt mean I agree with everything media says and what decisions have been made in terms of recruitment and retention etc.

contradicting - my stance is pretty firm:
Aussies I really value - Mckinnon, Price, Luck and to lesser extent witt and gatis.
I view the rest as replaceable.

Should have brought sonny fai into mix - earlier in the year.

As opposed to knowing the game of the rugby league - dont even question the knowledge -

Also of note,

Warriors are my second team behind tigers (who were ordinary this year, I know).
Followed by any teams with kiwis rabbits/drags.

SFA - the warriors and the game of rugby league - you based this upon what??
B'coz I dont I was calling for cleary's head if they were too carry on with their crap form?

Got nothing to do with my understanding of the game - maybe its my business understanding.

Mate, i might only be young - but I've got a life time of experience.

And dont worry im in the know - more than any of u guys.
