I want to blow up, but i actually find it hard to disagree with most of it. I would have Luke Lewis starting over fucking Cordner though

also, what the fuck is this?

It's everyone's fault except the people tasked with identifying players, bringing in players, preparing players, and selecting players. Oh, and deciding how we play. Fuck me dead, is this dickhead serious?

No accountability amongst the fish heads at the top. Warriors are poison from the top down
-
I just read a stat that said we have only scored one try from inside our own half all year. That can't be true.
Found an article
2 tries all year from 40m or more.
Stat Attack: Who rules NRL roost for long-range tries
The Eels and the Roosters are the two most dangerous sides at launching attacking raids from within their own half, just ahead of Manly and Melbourne.
Pretty clear correlation between being good, and being able to score from a fair way out.
-
one more on this shitshow. Tony Iro has been an assistant coach at the Warriors since 2010. For an average finish of 10th. He's under his 5th coach.
How exactly does one keep his job under those sort of circumstances
-
I don't know how much of this is true so just consider it as speculation. My mate who is related to 2 former warriors has said that Iro is like the Islander whisperer.....

Whatever he's whispering it ain't working!!!
The impression I got on the keeping the faith doco was that Cleary was very good at working with the PI players, especially Manu who seemed to have genuine affection for him. Pity we let him go all for the sake of one fucking year on his contract

@mariner4life There's a leaguie forum I occasionally frequent and they spent two years hailing Cameron George as the messiah. They appear to have gotten over that now.

Is that SBW on the bench? I'm pretty astounded that two Kiwis made that team - well three if count that turncoat b'stard Taumalolo.

I've got Jamie Lyon ahead of Hodges at centre. Lyon was the most skillful and most rounded centre I've seen.
Lyon has won 4 Dally M Centre of the Year awards in this decade. Hodges only has one Dally M Centre of the Year award, but that wasn't even in this decade(2007).
-
-
@Nepia Yeah, that's SBW. Pretty good by him to make the team despite only playing 2 seasons in this decade.
RTS made the bench for the Team of the Decade 2nd XVII.
Considering he was way better than Cordner when he was back (despite the fact Cordner somehow won Dally M 2nd rower) I guess they've picked on peak form.
I'm glad Bromwich made it, can't believe how underrated (by some) he's been over the years.
Who was the starting fullback for the 2nd XVII?
-
-
@Nepia Tedesco was the starting fullback.
Yeah, I just checked out the team - Tommy Turbo and RTS on the bench and Morgan at hooker.
JWS and Matai the other Kiwis ... well I guess we can consider Matai a Kiwi aside from the fact he was usually suspended for a shoulder charge or injured from a shoulder charge whenever the Kiwis played.
-
Re: the Warriors, they went through several years where the players were protected species but the coaches got sacked every Monday. Now they're leaning the opposite way and they're still cellar dwellers...
Shut it all down and start from scratch?

Na fair call i reckon. Injuries have played there part. I mean it is the first year any team in the comp has ever had to deal with players being injured....

fair. i mean, imagine if you will, a parallel universe where other clubs also had to deal with injuries. And on top of that, lose a heap of their best players to rep duties through the guts of the season. Imagine how high the Warriors would be then. The fact that this doesn't happen is just another unfair obstacle put in front of the Warriors by a biased Australian-centric NRL
-
Maybe they meant injuries to the refs and bunker?
Probably not as that's something you can plan for at the start of the season.
-
The bulldogs are supposed to be a club with no talent and a coach out of his depth. Watching them now they are miles better than the warriors.
They are committed, hard, they've got a bit of zip and they don't mind using the ball.
