<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>

Not sure I agree with all of that.<br><br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
Bodene is one of the best on the field every week - well, so Sneak tells me.<br><br>
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></blockquote>Fair enough, Manu has put in a lot of hard yards on field over the years, also Matulino. 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>

<p>You might have to explain that one to some of the older, less cool ferners Paeks, not everyone is as "street" as you :whistle:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But yeah, too many fucken coconuts in the team.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hang on, didn't they make the Grand Final when Lauititi, Meli and Toopi were tearing up the left flank and destroying all before them ?</p>

Konrad Hurrell is an idiot (see attached file)<br><br>
Surely they have to sack him now</p></blockquote>Forgive my twitter ignorance, but what has Konnie done? To me it doesn't look like he's written anything?<br><br>
Edit: I now see that he re-tweeted, which I'm guessing means he shared it?<br><br>
Dumb, dumb, dumb! -

<p>Yeah, I can see that, and on the screen shot under that chicks comment is a reply from what looks like a sportsman but I don't recognise the name</p> -
<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> -

<p>They may have but just not publicly? Because there's a chance that could make things at the club even worse.</p> -
