NRL 2017

-
@Donsteppa final straw. AFL it is
-
Flicked it over to see Kata ignore an unmarked man on the outside by stepping back inside, Johnson attempt a chip kick and completely miss the ball, and the Eels go 70m to score. Got my Warriors fix for 2017, don't think I need any more then that.
-
Reasons the Warriors lose a lot:
Defensively passive
No line speed
A halfback with a Qld Cup standard kicking gameJohnson is wildly overpaid given his output. He's a huge reason why we suck
-
Disgrace. Deadset disgrace.
Sack the mascot, sack the kit man, sack the game day manager, sack fucking everyone.
Start with that overpaid useless shit in the 7

I like SJ, but he's way to comfortable at the Warriors and he's not developing his game. He should leave and experience a different environment where the pressure is different and the media scrutiny is up a few notches. He's got the talent, but he needs to work on some of the fundamentals.
-
@ACT-Crusader you like him? Great. He can run, I'll give him that. He's good for fuck all else. Can't run the team, can't kick, makes bad decisions, all attributes of a quality halfback I think you would agree. And he doesn't have the young excuse now either.
Parramatta have 14 players and we're getting hosed.

-
@Donsteppa Parra are out on their feet.
RTS did nothing then scores that try? Why would you coach this team willingly?
-
HAHAHAHAHAHA that's a hilariously soft try to give up.
Fucking hell. You fluffybunnies...
-
Warriors lose to a benchless Parramatta. I fucking hate Parramatta but credit where credit is due, that squad can play tough.
They're still fluffybunnies though.
Some thoughts:
- Everything Gus Gould said about the Warriors tonight is 100%, scientifically-proven, report written, correct.
- Foran leading an attack against Parra's right edge was the best option and they could have blown the score wide open but nope...
- ...they go to Johnson who was shite tonight.
- Aggression and quickness is key in the 2017 NRL and the Warriors have none of that on attack or defence.
- They waited for Parramatta to run up the field to them. Never really surged on Parramatta until the last ten.
- Also, the Warriors now can't offload or stop an offload. What happen?
- Isaac Luke needs to run more. When he does he is dangerous because teams over run the ruck area and Luke can pop out the other side.
- Ken Maumalo had a pretty good game.
- Gavet had another great game.
- Bodene Thompson is a weak link. Replace with Bunty Afoa.
Best team for next week's game against GC:
1.RTS 2.CNK 3.Fusitua 4.Ayshford 5. Maumalo 6. Johnson 7. Foran 8. Gavet 9. Luke 10. Mautlino 11. Afoa 12. Hoffman 13. Mannering
Bench: 14. Tevaga 15. Lisone 16. Lillyman 17.Sipley -
With Hoffman and Mannering certain starters, we need another player on the edge that has a bit of zip and spark. Bodene is not that guy.
SJ'S passing game would be comparable to other halfbacks in the NRL, but his decision making right now is shocking. So everything is off. He's had the odd good game this year, but to me he looks low in confidence, lazy and uninterested. Playin' for the cheque only....
-
@ACT-Crusader When is the coaching staff going to accept that he isn't the primary playmaker? Secondary playmaker for sure, but he can't be the main guy. Foran can be that guy for the remainder of the season and Johnson will probably play better because of it.
-
Hoffman's 300th game today. Quite the achievement however the Warriors have yet to win away this season and I don't see that changing unless players like Hoffman pull finger. Minor signing this week with Manaia Cherrington joining the club immediately on a second tier contract for 2017/18.

Wow, they actually won away....

@Sneakdefreak And they actually looked good doing it. The wet must have confused the Titans.

They broke Foran in the process though.
