Time for a clean out ??

I don't think you can expect the team to all of a sudden become world beaters just because Bluey is gone. The season is a write off.

True, but a lot of teams in similar positions get an immediate bounce when they drop a coach. We didn't.

That's a bit of a myth isn't it? Also there is a big difference between a coach running a team into the ground for 12 rounds and a coach running a team into the ground for 24.

Johns had some very harsh but fair comments on the Warriors today, is he still working with the Warriors halves at all ?

Wow, so it's not about the coach! What now?

So bad I watched the union on the other channel (and with Channel Nine commentary at that).


Bluey had a 3-4 month off season plus 24 rounds to get fitness levels, defensive lines, attacking moves etc to his liking. Iro had 6 days. Hes on a hiding to nothing and has NO TIME to change things

What could you say about the team that's not harsh? There's only some individuals that can get some positivity

Yep, it is time for a total clean out, and a ditching of the jobs for the bros mentality.

Appoint a top coach and CEO from Aussie, and a clean out will follow because much of our dregs they won't want

The off season will be interesting, at least. Regardless of who comes in and who goes out, I'll be looking for some punishing footage on the sand dunes of West Auckland (no swimming though).

If our (former) rock stars can't hack it then they can always sign up with Adecco and get out to those industrial parks in South Auckland...six am starts, flat and very average rates of pay, no overtime, 12 hour shifts, weekend work, monotony, occasionally being able to go to Mt Smart on a Sunday to see the Warriors. I bet they'd love that?

Are you saying that Vatuvei, Mannering & Friend should all be leaving the Warriors as well?

Brown and Maloney don't deserve a send off. f**k them off now and don't play them on Sunday.

Brown yes, but Maloney is one of the few guys that puts in 100% every week. Compare his missed tackles to Johnson's can't be f***d making tackles attitude.

This week will be interesting, from a seeing how the team plays point of view. If they won't pull finger for their coach, their jersey, their Club, their fans, or even self respect...will they lift to give Luck a good send off after his service to the Club?
Will say a lot about the players IMO

Mic, I think the weak as piss capitulation on Saturday said it all about the players. Tony Iro has nutured a bunch of those blokes and they wouldn't do it for him.
