    <p>Foran ruled out of Anzac test.</p>

    <p>Sounds like he's got some depression issues. Hope he bounces back.</p>

    <p>I'm cynical of this (I've also been watching House of Cards). </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>So that means the Kiwis will be down to Shaun Johnson, Thomas Leuluai, Kodi Nikorima, Petr Hiku, Tohu Harris and Josh Hoffman in the halves. Let's see:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>1.Hiku 2.Nightingale 3.SKD 4.Kahu 5.Perrett 6.Hoffman 7.Johnson 8.Bromwich 9.Luke 10.Matulino 11.Proctor 12.Harris 13.Taumalolo</p>
    <p>Bench: 14.Brown 15.Taupau 16.Blair 17.Eastwood 18th man:Nikorima</p>

    <p>McFadden punishing six players <strike>who didn't turn up to practice</strike>. who got on the large after the 42-0 loss to Melbourne.</p>
    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
    <p> </p>
    <p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif;">The struggling Warriors have axed six first grade regulars to the NSW Cup for failing to meet team standards in the wake of Monday's loss to Melbourne.</p>
    <p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif;">Gone from the team named by coach Andrew McFadden to face the Dragons on Sunday are veteran players Manu Vatuvei, Ben Matulino and Bodene Thompson, while Albert Vete, Konrad Hurrell and Sam Lisone are also excluded.</p>
    <p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif;">The 3-5 Warriors are coming off an embarrassing 42-0 loss at the hands of the Storm on ANZAC Day and have already lost key players Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Simon Mannering and Tuimoala Lolohea to injury.</p>
    <p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif;">"We've dealt with this internally after questioning the players involved and won't be going into any details," McFadden said.</p>
    <p style="font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif;">The changes have opened the way for 21-year-old prop Toafofoa Sipley to make his NRL debut against the Dragons while Sione Lousi, John Palavi and Matt Allwood have earned NRL recalls.</p>

    <p>While it's most definitely not the only reason they're failing, this incident certainly points towards what's going wrong at the club.</p>
    <p>Senior members of the team like Matulino, Manu and Thompson being dropped for ill discipline shouts 'fucking shit culture' to me.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Gotta feel for a bloke like Simon Mannering, who busts his balls week in week out for this team, and even gets his bloody lip ripped off, meanwhile his team mates appear to not give the slightest of fucks.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Stand up and lead from the front on and off the field you fluffybunnies!!!</p>

    <p>Not sure I agree with all of that.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Manu has always given his all for the Warriors, some people don't like the way he plays and conflate that with other stuff, but his commitment to the Warriors on the field isn't in doubt.</p>
    <p>Mutts has been fucked around by this coaching regime and played 70 mins in a number of matches, which is crazy for a prop in this day and age.</p>
    <p>Bodene is one of the best on the field every week - well, so Sneak tells me.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Have a go at them for this off the field stuff (me, I think it's symptomatic of the rudderless leadership at this club, shit that was supposed to have changed under Doyle but seemingly is getting worse) but don't mix it in with individual on field performances.</p>

    <p>How long is Hammer's contract with the Sunwolves?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Warriors definitely need a bit of reforming zeal - fire the arses of the fuckabout merchants.</p>

    <p>I do a bit of listening to RadioSport on the Week on Deamand function when i go on my morning constitutional (my age walikng is about all I am up for).<br><br>
    Last couple of mornings at exactly the same place heard a couple or curmudgeonly bastards rabbitingy on to Daniel McHardy.<br><br>
    Firsy old fluffybunny going on about how the Warriors are overpaid show ponies.<br><br>
    Second old fluffybunny next morning going on about how <strong>Savea won't be missed as he isn't a sprinter</strong><br><br>
    Couldn't bring myself to listen. Despite how funny they were. Kudos to McHardy for keeping a straight face.</p>

Thompson is a consistent performer, so possibly could be exempt from the on field criticism.<br>
    Doesn't change the fact that something is badly broken at the club, they're not performing on or off the field at the moment. Yes, individually one or two of the senior guys are playing ok, but as a whole they're a major let down. <br>
    If you cant rely on the senior guys in a crisis, who can you rely on?<br><br>
    To me, the off field stuff compounds the problems on field, and gives the impression of not giving a fuck.

    <p>I thought Manu and Konnie didn't drink? That was one of the things trotted out when they got caught at that Ginuwine gig a few months back. Can still get out on the town etc but interesting they said they were on the piss aside from Vete as sober driver</p>

    Edit: I now see that he re-tweeted, which I'm guessing means he shared it?<br><br>

    <p>I'm 38 years old and wouldn't know a tweet from a fucken cheep......</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>But it's a tenuous situation when players, current or ex, "share" this sort of stuff. Far different than having a whinge behind closed doors.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Still, even I realise it's a sure fire way to half your sentence of suspension for foul play with a few muttered words with "sorry" being one of them.....</p>
