The Warriors myth

[Mr Saab]

The big warriors forwards will tire at the backend of the half and like to play basketball type football.

Oh hello Wayne Pearce

 

[God-King Dean]

Lance Ohio.

 

[Mr Saab]

Ah yes, how can we forget Ohio. Thank f**k he is not a commentator anymore. Him and "they must score surely" were the WORST commentary duo in the history of the game. Even worse than the pommy gits.

 

[kia ora storm]

Not sure that McLennan was the right choice...they look very loose in their attacking plays and a lot of dropped ball is creeping in.

 

[Grapple]

I saw the coach at my local the other day with his mates watching The Storm game (he and Shaun Johnson are locals) and left right after. Maybe taking notes? He's a very easy going guy, that might not be a good thing for The Warriors it seems.

I think they'll come right once they get a bit of structure again, they're not lacking any talent though.

 

[Alan Johnson]

The only positive I'm taking from that game is the possibility that they've got the worst performance of the decade out of their system.

 

[loveleague]

Bluey is not in the same league as cleary and you can see that in the way the warriors are playing. There is a lack of discipline and accountability and please strop that stupid back slapping when someone makes a mistake. Last nights game was a disgrace and the lack of urgency and defensive inadequacies by Tupu,ropati and johnson does not bode well for their playoff hopes. Johnson is a passenger and needs guidance (where is andrew johns) It seems like all the creativity has been coached out of them this season - if that is the bluey style - I am afraid it might work in the superleague , but it doesnt in the much tougher nrl. Once again - the most amateur performance of the year and as far as I am concerned the jury is still out in mcclennan.

It seems like all the creativity has been coached out of them this season

Hmm--to me it seems almost the opposite, that they've been given free license to hurl the ball around and go for miracle plays without doing any of the hard work that would allow those passes, etc, to come off.

 

[sputneek]

The Roosters absolutely dominated them and scared them into dropped balls and dives. Warriors would have beat any other team last night bar the storm.

 

[Tom Ace]

Their 2011-2012 seasons are shaping up to be exactly like Parra's 2009-2010 seasons.

And our 2010-2011

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

The Bros, like most of their fellow country men, seem to have a fairly relaxed attitude to hard work.

They like to roll into the season after State of Origin, when everyone else has a bit of extra wear and tear creeping into the their squad.

They will come good. 6th-8th I reckon.

 

[beefstew]

-Very good halves with poor front on defense.

-Average centers.

-poor wingers, who cant tackle or catch and are slow.

-A good pack, that doesn't scare anyone.

-A coach trying to earn respect by picking on an easy target...Inu.

 

[Habitual Linestepper]

And our 2010-2011

Exactly.

Happens every couple of years. Teams fluke their way deep into the finals, start the next season as favorites and then try play the next season the same way they ended the season before.

 

[the dude]

I said before the season they would miss the 8, no reason for me to change my opinion now.

 

[BranVan3000]

Traded good modern coach for backwards old school coach. The writing is on the wall in my opinion

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Also add Luck's 50 tackles a game tidying up the middle third that has been missing so far.

Wow, racist much?

Exactly.

Unfortunately, the Warriors without Cleary will go back to their usual inconsistant performances. It is a shame because i believe they have the strongest roster in the NRL.

[DeeJ]

The Warriors usually have one good year then one disappointing one don't they? Or at least they seem to do poorly when high expectations are placed on them and vice versa.
