Vs Dragons Rd11 2022

[Benek]

Warriors are completely lost. We’re not winning.

 

[Blair]

We’re giving up so many metres!

And how does Lomax get out of the in-goal with 11 Warriors on him?

 

[Benek]

This is where we really need guys like SJ to show us the way to victory. But he leads the way in looking like a headless chook. When times get tough there’s nobody with composure to be seen.

 

[Blair]

We've ignored our left edge attack all day.

 

[vvvrulz]

Johnson with a terrible last tackle play, this is the part of the game he sorely lacks

 

[Blair]

Pompey into the touchline, before the set complete. What a joke.

Only six points behind but it feels like 60.

 

[JJ]

Johnson is so shit

 

[Tongue]

That will do me.

 

[Blair]

Pompey again! Throws the ball (rather than himself) this time over the sideline!

 

[JJ]

Johnson is so shit

What I said

 

[Blair]

Blake off, ice on ankle.

 

[Benek]

The problem with SJ is that he was raised that normal solid footy isn’t good enough. He always needs to do something special. Now that he’s older all we want is cool headed footy. But he’s incapable of doing the smart thing because it’s not heroic enough for him. He’s never going to be any good until he learns to play high percentage footy and be the boring controller.

 

[Scott]

How bad is Pompey. Offers absolutely nothing. Dumb as dogshit too.

 

[Blair]

24-18, them. Final.

 

[vvvrulz]

Okay 30 seconds!

 

[Alan Johnson]

Glad it’s the first game of the night.

 

[Tongue]

Warriors are just hopeless when faced with any adversity.

 

[Blair]

Walsh didn't have his kicking boots on today, but they were hard conversions.

 

[Blair]

Okay 30 seconds!

I didn't rattle off the final score until those 30 seconds were done!

 

[Penrose Warrior]

The problem with SJ is that he was raised that normal solid footy isn’t good enough. He always needs to do something special. Now that he’s older all we want is cool headed footy. But he’s incapable of doing the smart thing because it’s not heroic enough for him. He’s never going to be any good until he learns to play high percentage footy and be the boring controller.

I feel like the problem is that he was never coachable enough or had a burning desire to get better. Took criticism as a personal affront rather than a chance to get better. Was happy to rely on natural talent which only took him so far, and now that his body isn't capable of that stuff he's got nothing to fall back on.
