<strong>Summary of this shambolics of shambles:</strong><br><br>
First half: Warriors sux.<br><br>
Second half: Warriors realise they're more talented than the Tigers, but soon-to-be destroyed bunker somewhere in deepest, darkest Sydney decides otherwise.<br><br>
Overall: Warriors need this loss otherwise the players and coaches would have thought everything was a-ok. Unacceptable and Cappy needs to realise some players need time in the NSW Cup. No energy for 40 minutes is worrying. Issac Luke might be on a retirement cheque. Ben Henry has unofficially retired.<br><br><strong>Players:<br><br>
Good: Bodene Thompson, Simon Mannering, James Gavet<br><br>
So-so: Jeff Robson, Blake Ashyford, Shaun Johnson, Tui Lolohea<br><br>
Warriors of old: Manu Vatuvei, Solomona Kata, Issac Luke, Jacob Lillyman, Nathaniel Roache</strong></p></blockquote>
RTS not play? -
<p>I only watched bits of pieces flicking between the Highlanders Canes game , <br>
</p>
<p>they are a frustrating club , the formula to get it right seems so close , yet it seems so far . </p> -
Fuck there have been some ridiculous tries scored this weekend.<br><br>
Titans winger just scored a try from the worst shank of a kick I've seen in a long long time. No doubt his mate will claim he kicked it like that on purpose.<br><br>
The wooden spoon favourites killing the Knights 28-6, 25 to go. -
<p>The Tits romp home 30-12. Knights are wooden spoon favs as well since most of the team appears to be under the age of 21. Congrats to former u20 Warriors captain David Bhana making his debut with Newcastle. Made 25 tackles in 31 minutes. Not bad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Roosters got the worst hiding of the weekend - smashed 42-10 by Wusty's Wabbits. Means they are currently last :mocking:</p> -

<br>
He wore a Warriors jersey and was on the green grass for 80 minutes.....does that count as "playing".....<br><br>
I wonder if (hope) we will see Lolohea and SJ in the halves at some point. -
For a laugh look up Josh Gage on Facebook for his Warriors fan reactions after yesterday's loss.

<br>
You mean how long till the players throw a game resulting in his sacking ?<br>
Just like they did with Matt Elliott. -
<p>how will we tell if they are throwing the game or trying? it all looks the same pretty much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Crazy round. And quite the casualty ward for round 1 as well. Paul Gallen is sweating pretty hard, if the scans aren't good news, it might be the end. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Warriors are uncoachable. I don't know why anyone takes the job, it's a graveyard. </p> -

<p>Daniel Anderson found a way to coach them, until he fell out with the teams best player and on field organiser. I wasn't a huge fan of Ivan but he could get them focused when needed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other than that ....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The most annoying thing for about the Warriors is that they never seemed to have an bodies in motion in attack. It was always just the guy taking the hit up and maybe the guy next to him. You'll never create chances outside of individual brilliance if you don't keep the opposition guessing and you'll reduce the chances of individual brilliance.</p> -
<p>Was Daniel Anderson the one that took the mirrors out of the changing rooms?</p>

<p>Looks like Gallen will only miss 6-8</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sutton will miss 4 months with a ruptured pec. Reynolds with a fractured jaw will be out for a couple as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jordan Kahu will miss a month with a calf. James Segeyaro from the Panthers will miss 6-10 with a broken arm. And there are a few waiting on follow-up scans. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Brutal weekend. </p> -

<p>All that and no injury to keep Kata out of the team - the league gods really do hate us.</p> -
<p>Reynolds gone for 6. Canberra lose both their starting halves for 5</p>
-
<p>ah, the old "too many pollies" chestnut. Lowe is a fuckwit of the highest order. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Something is seriously wrong in that organisation though, the players change, but the outcomes are all remarkably similar, so what is the underlying, ever present factor?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why do players go there and get worse? Why do they often look like they aren't trying? Why are their fundamental skills often lacking? Why is their execution (and often, plan) so ordinary? And that's no matter who's name is on the door of the coaches office. </p> -
Sack the coaches, sack the players, sack the sausage sizzle guy..... and you know what, we still have the same Warriors capable of unbelievable footy, but then can easily implode and play stuff U15s would beat down. <br><br>
It's hard to put your finger exactly what the 'problem' is. But it does have an all too familiar start to the season. The game on Saturday alone is a microcosm of Warrior rugby for the past 5 years. -

<p>Lack of aggression is the problem. It has been mentioned before. Gordon Tallis, maybe two seasons ago, said the one thing teams hate is when the Warriors run at them hard but the Warriors in recent years seem to just pass the ball along the line.<br><br>
Watching the Tigers game there was no running hard (bar Gavet and Thompson) or bringing the defence to the Tigers. Brendan McCullum needs to have a chat with this team regarding the idea of throwing the proverbial kitchen sink.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Storm beat Dragons in a bore-fest on MNF.</p> -

<p>When Mannering is your hardest running backrower when the team runs out on then you might actually be right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gavet was great. Thompson has been a revelation for the Warriors on the edges but he's on my shit list for choosing a boxing match over the Kiwis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But, the Warriors have been shedding aggressive hard runners for a while now in a quest (IMHO) to be more structured. </p>

<p>We need more of the bros ;).</p> -

<p>So a hard runner can't play to a structure? What fucking rot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If that's what they think, they've got rocks in their head.</p>
