Nice write up sneak.
Our pack is a bit powder puff really - yet the TV dudes over here always go on about how strong they are, it's bemusing.
It shows their lack of analysis of the current side , and are just using the stereotypical view of the warriors over here ( all brawn no brains)

Before I got the shits with the useless fluffybunnies and stopped watching, I heard the comms say that this is Lillymans 9th season at the Warriors. Didn't realise he'd been here for so long, I thought it would have been about 5 or 6.
As for the Warriors, burn the place down and start from scratch somewhere else.
Kaikohe might be a good option, could start by filling the team with their hood rats, they've got more mongrel than this team. -

In general the league analysis is usually pretty good. Much better than what Sky serves up for the rugby. And the odd commentator will mention it's a myth but then it will get forgotten by the co-commentator or panel.

This is fucked. We are so shit.
Our forwards lack power, aggression, and technique. Slow play the ball after slow play the ball. Barely denting the line, so our backs are playing off shit ball.
Agree with sneak though, it's all coming form hooker, where Luke is shit. And the bench is all wrong as well, you need someone with quick feet to play late in each half. Pure bulk won't cut it.
There is a bit of that throughout the side, just a bunch of big blokes, where is the speed? Maumolo is a big waste of space. Kata was really good last year, this year he's rubbish. Fusitua isn't seeing the ball. Ayshford wouldn't get a gig for most other sides.
SJ tried yesterday, he touched the ball a lot. Tui had a go as well, but it looked like everyone met in the carpark.
We suck. Still! Same shit as well. Fucking Warriors.

What sort of money is Luke on ? Quite a bit I would imagine ,
I can remember not so long ago before he left Sydney , people were saying he was challenging Smith as the best hooker in the game

@kiwiinmelb he genuinely was, and i thought the change in the wrestle interpretations would suit him, but alas...
Has any player got better at the Warriors than when he arrived?

Marc Ellis, John Kirwan, Wade McKinnon...
-
Fucking who?
-
He played a season, had already played tests, and you reckon he got better?
Or are you just trying to be clever?
-
That thing with him wanting to fly back and forward to spend time with his kids could be difficult to manage long term .
Would not be surprised to see him look for a club in Sydney eventually.
