We don't deserve to be in the finals simple!

How do you think he would of gone in the halves?

Truth is unless we plonk him there this season we'll never know really.

But if I was to take a stab, I think he'd fare better than he is at fullback as he can focus more on directing play and linkages, his obvious strengths. But as JJ said, play making is a mystery and we haven't seen enough of his kicking game (though it's looked ok). Defence would be his undoing, Maloney got bagged for it and Tomkins would be twice as bad.

He still wouldn't be anything near an NRL elite.

Mate, no offense but pull yourself together.

This is a sports team, this is entertainment. The Warriors aren't curing cancer.

I consider myself a die hard fan and I'd absolutely love us to win the competition. Yes it sucks like anything when we're playing the way we are but it is what it is, as a fan wtf am I going to do about it if we haven't won a title in 20 years.

Nothing wrong with being emotional but there is a limit, put some perspective on it and ride with the ebbs and flows. Savour the good times, have a good b*tch and moan when things turn to crap, but end of the day have a laugh and get on with it.

It hits some of us harder than others, fair enough.
But lets cool the jets a little.

I used to be on that train mate but I only want professionalism and a winning culture now.

No more making excuses is where I'm at my friend and I know there a few that agree.

No more being easy on our beloved Manu for coming off his wing to let in easy tries. He's meant to be leading by example yet Cappy drops Hurrell when clearly it;s Kata and even the protected beast that is Manu.

No more being easy on our team not pulling finger when the going gets tough. Losing SJ is a big blow but they have been harping on how they have been training in the off-season with different combinations to accommodate this grueling season (We all know they go down)

No more being easy on the coach whom I like by the way. I want him to turn his brain on and utilize the bench better. Pick players properly show he is willing to drop some old heads for shit performances. Funnily I read he dropped Hurrell for defensive issues lol did he not see the beast man come off his wing. Did he not see Kata miss so many tackles?

No more saying "Oh they will come right" then they fall off the wagon when the crunch is on (Yes you know what I'm talking about) they will c**k tease us mid year and high five themselves out of the finals in a spectacular way

You say we cannot do anything about it being fans watching on? Say WHAT?

Fans are the reason they get paid good dosh simple (Albeit I did nut off in gutsy performance this last round and as I said It surprised me too and apologized) but fans really do have the power to influence a good shift in culture. We need to make these players know time in time again that they must be consistent no matter what odds they face. 100% trying in a losing round is what I want to see each week if we lose.

And I'm cool headed now so all this is said in good vain. :D

Definitely worth a crack instead of sticking with the current 1/6/7/9 make up that will probably struggle to crack 20 points for the rest of the season. Maybe he thinks dropping Hurrell for Wright is all that is needed to grind out 10-6 wins the rest of the season. That and using your interchange players strangely.

That's the one I really struggle with - defence is half the game, and Kata is flat out a liability... when Ferguson tore him a new one, everyone said 'oh, Ferguson will do that to plenty of centres' - but I don't really recall a game when he's defended well... maybe in training he handles the attacking threat of Johnno Wright ok??

I know most rookie coaches tend to see it that way. They tend to favor If they put in at training, laugh at their unfunny jokes they get in the team arghhh. Mate I am baffled that Cappy has not done a thing about the Kata drop. Some teams are licking their lips when they see him named week in week out. Again I do like Kata and think he has done wonders in the 1st half of the season but now he is found out and requires a stint with our Stacey Jones coached NSW team. He will learn from this and kick on (Really confident he will)

As for Hurrell as much as he can be hot and cold so many teams would hate to see him named. He put in that assey kick to get us a try and gets dropped :crazy:

If we had won against the Stains then god forbid the same team being picked

So now that this post clearly has been justified after today's abysmal effort we should just named the NSW team to show up for 1st grade and demote all the team that played to the NSW now that would be f**ken awesome. Gubb not included the rest FO
