Vs Dragons

[Benek]

So the gameplan so far seems to be kick weak uncontested bombs to Morris, and then fail to tackle him while he makes an easy 15 metres counter attack. Way to build pressure Warriors. This is working out so well.

Manu, stay put on your wing FFS.

7:30pm start and the boys look sluggish , out the back passing looks amateur

Effort may be there , but we have no spark

 

[Blair]

Could have won this but we don't seem to be as 'hard-nosed professional' as these other outfits.

 

[Blair]

Hang on, a late charge home? (74th minute and a penalty 40 metres out from the Dragons line).

 

[Tayjack]

Worst side in the competition bar none.

 

[Blair]

Dud pass by Johnson. Probably the game.

Game over, roll on Anzac Day. We need one of our upset wins now.

"Step backwards for the Warriors today." ABC commentator.

 

[Benek]

So bloody frustrating to watch these guys every week!

Nielsen must be dropped. Biggest attacking black hole in the NRL. A good centre would have put Manu in for 2 more tries based on the opportunities they created on that side today.

 

[Blair]

Tomkins and Dugan getting the raps by the ABC radio commentators.

Also "while Johnson was sleeping, Thomas (Leuluai) was playing."

 

[Diesel]

I don't care much anymore, it makes the unexpected & expected loses easier

I used to know the Warriors yearly draw inside and out, but now I never know who we play next and don't care

 

[Blair]

This forum's quiet too, have we all lost faith?

'Faith' has been all we've had left lately.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Fair effort, just didn't have the finishing touches. With a team lacking cohesion/experience it's to be expected to some degree. No less disappointing though.

 

[Auckland4ever]

Typical game v Dragons. Outmuscled and ground out of the game. Pretty expected result. My only question is: what are Dane Neilson's KPIs?

 

[The Pa Kid]

Gee's that was one hard watch.
When you want to stay in the starting team, shout the coach alnight as soon as he walks in the bar.
Yours will be first name he remembers in the morning.
That must be the only way Neilson getting picked each week.

 

[Diesel]

TBH if they dump McFadden I don't know how much rebuilding/change I can take.

The players seem to be trying a little more overall and I'm liking what I am hearing. This year is a write-off, if we're lucky we'll finish 10th, if unlucky maybe 15th (on point differential).

Management really stuffed up in mid-2011 but that is in hindsight as most us thought we were on a winner with Bluey and it was a colossal f*ck up with what happen late 2012 til round 5 this year.

I'm confident if Cappy says he'll get rid of a lot of deadwood & actually coach/develop the players but like I said, if we dump him because we have some lazy/fringe FGers and end up with Sheens who is living off his Raiders days and 2005 I'd just about be done... Just about, but won't ever give up on the club

Missed Hurrell big time.

Neilson is becoming close to never wanting to see him in a Warriors jersey again.
Used to defend him before on defence but today his attack was so atrocious its not funny, hard to believe this was a first grade Storm centre.

We were not really *that* bad.. and yet we are hurtling into spoon territory.

 

[Meth]

Missed Hurrell big time.

And Matulino

And Bakuya really

 

[Mike0070]

Neilson had a another shit game , f**k mate I'm so over watching these limp performances , whose gonna be picked next week.

This forum has definately gone quiet over the last few weeks , off came my jersey at half time , felt like i was watching the wowsers in slow motion tonight.

And Matulino

And Bakuya really

With Locke in the wings also at least we have manpower waiting in the wings.
Neilson surely is a done deal now.

We were not actually that bad really.

If we figured out our 5th tackle options and converted a few golden chances, we were right in it. At least our forwards are on the job.

 

[Marty]

I didn't think it was that bad. I thought we probably played quite well myself. Its just there is a reason why we have only won 4 from like 17 against the Dragons...somehow even our best teams over the years when they are in form cant beat them.

I am really likeing the improvement in the side to be honest. Its early days but I think Cappy could be real good for us. I liked how Gubb never came back on from basically gifting the try to them in the last minute with the dumb error. Henry was weak as well in general play but he should get better with some match fitness. There was good intensity right throughout the side. Mannering has really gone to another level in leading the defence and his attack has even improved. Tomkins is slowly getting better as well.

Replace Nielson with Laumape and bring Hurrel and Locke to play Centre and Wing on the other side. Drop Gubb and replace him with Jason Bukuya. With that team we should win against the Storm.
