I wasn't directing it at Kiwi centres... Toopi was one of the greatest centres in recent times.. Vagana also...

I must admit that Mannering has done better this year than last year... I still think he is a goose... which is ok because I am just stating my opinion like everyone else (on an online forum)

I have seen quite a few Warriors games this year. Mannering is right up there with the sh*ttest centres in the game atm.

(no particular order)

Mannering
Matai
Carmont

Sh!t, I'm glad you're no selector

Imagine your all time World XIII

1 Paul Cariage
2 Matt Gafa
3 Jarrod Anderson
4 Jason Bulgarelli
5 Lee Hookey
6 Andrew McFadden
7 Ben Kusto
8 Shaun Wessel
9 Monty Betham
10 Don Tweedle
11 Ben Csizlowski
12 Matt Jobson
13 Dean Bosnich

Bench

Ian Sibbit
Garrick Morgan
Greg Smith
Owen Craigie
18th man: Paul McNicholas

Deadset mate, go to google and search OPSM. You could pick a lot of other players worse off at centre than Mannering, and you could probably find 10 other Warriors who've performed worse than Mannering this year. Including players that never get a raspberry on here like Wiki and Koopu.

lol that about says it all. Toopi has been abject outhouse in the NRL. He had a good season in 2003, did alright in 2002 but that was more in combination with Lauitiiti who that year would have been made Big Kev look like a million dollars at centre.

Vagana has been completely outhouse since his move from the Bulldogs. He IS the most over-rated player in the competition, bar none.

Who else has gone good the past few years in your book? McNicholas? Garrick Morgan? Ben Walker? Ben Kusto? Enlighten us oh sage one.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Newsflash numbnuts, the reason we SACKED Toopi is because we had Mannering.

To extrapolate further (a) Clinton Toopi was sh*t, (b) Simon Mannering is very good. ipso facto, we sacked the sh*t one, and kept the good one.

Yup.

I'm more worried about how Hohaia will go against King.

Yep so am I. King is a pretty damn good player; one of the best too so I just hope that Hohaia will hold against him. *keeps fingers crossed*

It's totally fine to state your opinion. It's just if your opinion is a sh*tty one, you should choose not to state it so often.

Oh, btw Vagana is playing reserve grade for the Sharks this week, what does that say of your opinion???

Bring on the Southern Orcas, I say. End this pointless and fruitless crusade, that is the Warriors!!!

Just make sure they don't give the job to minibus.

Bergman aint so bad...For a province with as many teams as we have, I am surprised that we dont really have the player depth.

Funnier still is that the orcas have deferred this round's game because of not enough grounds for the club sides to play on... Go figure...

That "was" in there is the key word... Someone suggested that I was having a go at Kiwi centres (which i wasnt) Toopi was probably the best centre in the world at one stage... just like Vagana.... I am well aware of their problems/poor performances nowadays or whatever you would like to call it.

team is interesting for sure. hohaia will defintely have his hands full all night hopefully he can go alright. the storm are no 1 in the comp for a reason and it's not by playing average footy. more often than not they have turned up and got the job done. warriors will have to be right on their game to get the win which I think they can do.
warriors by 4.
