From their big forwards before they tire at the back end of the half.

Kiwis go crazy over Mannering but to me he's basically Shaun Fensom.

Mannering would be a starter in almost every nrl side. Has carried the warriors for a long time.

You're off your rocker - there's only one bloke that has earned my respect week in week out. He's absolutely hard as nails. Simon Mannering.

Steve Roach is a big fan.

He's no Kyle Lovett

They're highly overrated.

The only players worth feeding in todays line up are Johnson and Mannering. And maybe a snack for Hoffman, Afoa and the centres.

The rest are mud.

Nailed it.

The irony though. You have three or four clubs who are chasing Gubb. He even tried to get an early release to get extra playing time allegedly at North Queensland. Then you have Lolohea and a bunch of clubs after him. Hingano after 2 games has the Storm after him (I rate this kid though TBF).

It's attitude a lot of it. Isaac Luke has gone from a test certainty and top tier running hooker to an absolute plodder who should play local Fox Memorial.

Hoffman and Mannering aside, their pack is pretty inconsistent and generally crap. Their halves are highly overrated as well.

Kearney trying to bring structured Benny Ball to The Warriors. At least when they were bad (most years) they were never this boring,

Hingano is the other half, he's what 19? I don't think he's overrated. I don't think SJ is overrated too. He gets a ton of tries, try assists, line breaks and line break assists. He's usually playing behind a beaten pack.

Isaac Luke, Tuimoala Lolohea, Sam Lisone and Albert Vete are either underrated or massive under performers. Manus best days are behind him.

That said, before I plan a September vacation just yet, I need to see how we perform with Foran, RTS and Matulino back.

Will never do anything until they get two decent props that can do the hard yards without throwing out stupid passes.

Whole country of players you'd think they could find some

That is not how recruitment and retention work with a salary cap.

With a whole state of players you'd think Perth could find a team

Our props rarely throw any passes. Blocker, is that you?

This is just stupid. NZ is a rugby union country. Rugby league is not their number 1 sport. Most of them prefer union

 

[Evil_Mush]

On the flipside, our ISP team is going hard, with three wins to open the season and reports seeming to be fairly glowing in assessment of the team's on field work.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a number of player swaps in coming weeks, perhaps as soon as this weekend?

 

[justdave]

Frustrating yes. But more frustrating than the Eels?

 

[Perth Red]

Warriors have a salary cap?

 

[God-King Dean]

Warriors have a salary cap?

Do Perth?
