That's some comeback by the Broncos. 31 points in 28 minutes.
Panthers proving the only team with a chance of beating them is a fully fit Melbourne.
Seriously, fans of both the warriors and the tigers must wonder why thr Panthers look so fucking overwhelming on both sides of the ball. To me they are proving talent makes coaches not the other way around.

@mariner4life that second YC for the Titans was one of the dumbest plays from a player I’ve seen for some time (and I’ve watched every Warriors game…)
And Titans are up 24-10 and there’s still 20+ minutes to go and you try a short restart kick??? Result, Broncos immediate try. Dumb.

We dropped our heads and lost our shape after that non-call for a repeat set when SJ grubber kicked and Milford clearly stuck his leg out to stop it.

i for one an devastated for Jake Turbo, should have been a lock
And it's a huge show of respect for Qld that Tupou has been picked over JAC
Qld are a good shout this year

The Warriors are deadset fucking cooked. Pea hearted, dumb, and pretty much talentless. Not a player on the squad worth turning up to watch.
Brown is fucked and needs to go. His biggest crime? (besides being a proven failure who is delivering exactly what we all expected) is picking SJ every week despite all the evidence that he just does not want to be there.
But the problems are so much deeper than the coach and the players. The organisation is fucked. The owner comes across as just a fucking piston wristed gibbon of epic proportions (anyone who refers to themselves as an alpha male is a deadshit). The football department is stuck in groundhog day with its decision making.
If the club decides to make a change, they will do what they have always done:
Pick a failed coach who is on the merry-go-round
Sign a bunch of offcasts from other failed clubs, or guys looking for 1 last contract. All of these players will be old, and lacking in any creative spark
Expect to build something off this.The joint is absolutely cooked, lacking in any sort of plan, or positive identity. It's proves how little Australia gives a fuck about the Warriors that they are not under the torch pretty much full time. We play turgid football even when we are "on" and it takes fuck all to throw the team "off" and when that happens they fall in a heap.
The lack of public accountability around this fucking organisation is yet another damning stain on the NZ sports media that just straight up refuses to be critical of anyone.

oh, and i keep reading Warriors fans want to get Geoff Toovey in as coach
The bloke hasn't coached anywhere in 5 years, and hasn't coached in the NRL for 7. Anyone out of the game for that long cannot compete, everything has changed too much.

@mariner4life Any players named that could potentially need replacing as they're not eligible this year? Surely they checked Nanai's arrival date to be certain.

Nice rant but I think there are a few players on that squad that people will turn up to watch, some are injured or out of form but there are some for sure that you would watch whether they be a Tohu, Curran, AFB, even Walsh on form.
..however I do agree with most of the rest of it. Payten was one of the few in his short time who managed to get the team to defend when they got behind and stay in the fight. Most of the coaches haven't. Which is why I rated him highly in his short time, even if they didn't have many wins. He has since shown that if you stick with him he can really change a team although most continued to say he was terrible until it was time to get on the band wagon.
The owner showed last week that it is terrible at the top and his attitude and lack of understanding of financial implications of what he did, was just as brainless. I also hope you heard wrong about Toovey as that would again be the wrong way to go. There are no too many coaches worth going after, but the warriors need someone who can also change the culture and attitude. I could only think of about two sets worth going after who are not coaching first grade.
I think getting to NZ finally will help a lot of players, however how many mentally may have tapped out before then is the question.
They need a massive reset though for sure.

Picking a form team, just goes to show the importance of winning on selections, although I suspect Grant is injured, as surely when fit Grant is best hooker for sure.

i suspect this is why he's on the bench, the least disruption if forced to pull out
Like Slater rubbishing underdog tag. He's there to win. Be interesting to see what he's learned off Bellamy

@Dice I don't mind the starting 13 although I thought maybe Graham or Lomax ahead of Wighton at centre and bench looks unbalanced. No Nicho floating either on that bench is a miss.
I dont mind the Qld team though, although they would be hoping Ponga finds some form, rest of it looks strong
