Where are the doubters now ?

Bluey is a fantastic coach, he'll gef us to the finals.

We have one of the best squads in the comp and once a couple of key players return from injury, we will take some stopping.

We are now 50% , same as the reigning prems.

Shame on you, doubters. Call yourselves fans.....

Before you start violently stroking your mushroom tip, take a look at where the two teams we've beaten sit on the ladder.

I do agree that we have one of the best squads in the comp, especially when we're fully fit, but it's far too early to really tell. We've only played good teams and shit teams.

My only doubt was over the Woepati call. Woe repaid the faith, but will it last?

I like the attack Bluey has added. Cleary got the defence right but at the expense of any attack other than "kick it to manu."
Now they look sharp.

I am liking what Taylor & Henry are doing too. Nothing flashy, but solid with nice touches. And taking good options.

Yep. Pretty happy with Mr Blue.

While I think some of his bench use is wacko jacko, I have never complained about Bluey. I'm not one of these loser fans who will judge a coach or player after only 4 appearances.

We've beaten the Tits and the Eels, oz. Two teams that'll probably be fighting for the spoon.

I'm going to reserve judgement until we've played teams like the Storm and Broncos, which also means we'll have played a few middle of the pack teams, too.

In the meantime, if BluesClues does something i don't like i'm going to rant. It's my duty as a fan! :D

Well, I reckoned give em time before bagging them/the coach...I say the same before hyping them/pumping them either.
It's now four games, 2 and 2. The wins weren't as good as they looked due to average teams, but IMO neither the losses were as bad as some doomsayers suggested either, being two really good teams.
But- Any team can beat another on their day in NRL, so we take the points, move on, and hopefully improve even more next week! ;-)

Its going to take a bit more than a stroll in the park against the Titans to start praising him heavily. At least they are putting away the teams that they should and look strong on attack.

The only issues I have so far is the Inu non-selection and forcing passes/silly plays too early into the game, otherwise they look pretty solid.

Still here.

They're a solid team on paper. Last years grand finalist - they should be 4-0 up with that sort of talent.

Bluey has to go.

j/k he can stay.

Ropati has to go. :)

Bluey did say "Give me till Round 6", so I'm reserving judgement till then.

But I am liking what I'm seeing. And if I'm bluntly honest, I'm actually enjoying watching the Warriors again. That was something that was missing all too much last season. I'm enjoying the style of play. So for that, I thank Bluey.

He has re-introduced the 'razzle dazzle', but in the past we've seen that apart from a couple of golden years with Anderson, it can all turn very ugly. With Lillyman and Luck returning thats a huge plus.

We've beaten the Eels and the Titans.

We've lost to the Sea Eagles and the Bulldogs.

The jury is still out.

It is a setback to start the season without Luck, Lillyman and Rapira.

Its not the results that have me a little disillusioned with Bluey...it's some of the decisions. Switching Manu to the right, refusing to play Inu, his use of the interchange bench. He just looks green.

Amen to that. They are entertaining to watch.

Hey Ozbash I am one of those doubters and as far as 2012 goes I am still a doubter. I said on this forum at the time getting rid of Cleary was a major mistake and several weeks later the Warriors made the GF. There will be no GF appearance for the Warriors this year and I am confident that the Panthers will finish ahead of the Warriors as well. But once Bluey has done his NRL apprenticeship then things will be different. Coaching the Kiwis for a few games a year and a couple of years in the ESL is NOT the apprenticeship that's going to get him to the top of the NRL. Be patient as I believe the Warriors will be a real threat in 2013 but not this year.
