<p>What this and past incidents show is that the Warriors entire management structure is a fucking shambles. The way the ABs are run and the way the Warriors are run are polar opposites. It's not the players or any "bro" culture (racist fucks), it's the management that needs to be hung out to dry. You get the likes of Shand and Hansen in charge and you'll see some results. It's clear the players in the Warriors do not feel like they have any responsibility at all - that's a management issue.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>someone needs to make the hard calls from the outset...but you also tread a line between established players, I mean look at the shit Hammett got for ditching Nonu, I expect the same fallout if Cappy ditched Manu - however right/wrong the call might be...takes more than just coaches/management, players need to buy in as well, its a whole package.</p> -

Yeah. It's about putting all the responsibilty on the players and becoming a manager that supports them do what they do best, instead of a manager that tells his players what to do. Hansen talked about it at length in a video that was posted on here a while back. It's pretty clear the management style at the Warriors is badly lacking. -
<p>or maybe the players have had too much control for too long that they dont like any other management style? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>speculation of course</p> -
The players clearly don't give a fuck. Whatever the management is doing, their doing it wrong. We're not talking about a specific group of players here, we're talking about players that thrive at other clubs then come to the Warriors and look decidely average.

I think the problems go way beyond the coach unfortunately.

<p> This has bigger ramifications than just the Warriors , we now have a good portion of the kiwi team in shit form , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Including Issac Luke who was one of the top 3 hookers in the game the last few years at Souths , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My advise to a promising young kiwi league player would be , play for an Aussie team, dont go to the warriors </p> -

<p>Most of the Storm pack took your advice .... </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I look forward to Cam Smith and Billy Slater's retirement so I can actively support the Storm</p> -

<p>There must be a major problem with accountability at the club, from the top down. I thought Doyle would fix this but even he seems incapable of turning us around</p> -
<p>Well it has come to this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cappy is gone as coach. The guy appears to be taking the advice from all the critics and once you do that, the end is nigh. A 3-16 record over the past few months isn't good enough regardless of your roster. In most pro sports you would already be fired and replaced. Obviously he has lost the locker room, or at the very least with a certain clique.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Konrad Hurrell, even if the retweet was a moment of silliness, has to go too. I was a supporter for him to a starter in the team but it is apparent he's a bad egg (it was apparent before but you hoped he would grow out of it). Let him sign elsewhere in the coming days.</p> -
<p>The thing with Konrad , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He could get signed elsewhere and be a bloody good player in a different environment </p> -

<p>Or continue to be bloody difficult, especially if he's let loose in Sydney or the GC. </p> -

Yeah GC is not the place for a smart arse with an attitude and a penchant for shenanigans.</p></blockquote>
<br>
It's not? Coulda foolled me.<br><br>
Might not be great for his football career and he might get shot but I reckon he'd fit right in... -
<p><strong>Vatuvei, Matulino, Thompson dropped from Kiwis</strong></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Gets worse for the 'bad eggs'</p> -
<p>Decent half of league, much better to watch than last week that's for sure. Lillyman would be having a great game if he had glue on his hands, instead he's just having a good one. </p>

<p>Bloody good first half effort, team actually looks interested without the deadwood that was dropped to reserve grade</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>All this is, is the bounce back from last weeks hammering, I think the dropped players have little to do with it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>St George were shafted in the Benji no try - I think the Widdop one was fair enough. </p>
