    @Nepia said in NRL 2022:

    As I don't watch much non Warriors (TBF or Warriors) league these days, is Tupou really the best wing NSW has got? Dude has made a decent career out of sort-of-looking-like Folau.

    Yes, especially given who he is marking

    Almost impossible to score over him with a kick. Also one of the best wings in the comp at getting you out of your end. Teams kick to him even though you won't win the ball simply so he doesn't get the first hit up.

    And he's a dangerous scoring threat of his own. Not a winger to break a game open but he's really fucking good

    Tupou still has it. Mr Reliable on both sides of the ball and as mentioned, plays like an extra forward when getting out of your own half. Geez the Warriors would break the bank for a guy like him…

    It will be interesting who makes the NSW 17 with a few surprises on there.

    @mariner4life Always makes me laugh when I hear people go on about how over rated he is. The guy is doing everything for the Knights with bugger all help. All their tries come through him, it's not his fault he's playing with crap players.

    @bayimports I think they might switch Crichton and Wighton around come gameday. They'll need a bit of aerial help on To'o's side.

    it is strange, I am hoping he does get it right because if the rumours are true he then coaches the doggies..., which is one sh$t coach less for us to chase

    I see Ray Warren has finally officially retired. Voice of League for me. Up there with other legendary commentators I reckon.

    Wonder if he will call Origin one final time?

    think I read he said last years would be his last, I do wonder if he makes a guest appearance during the series to say goodbye though

    Yeah that would be good. He deserves something like a guest appearance.

    how fucking good is my transition to the Cowboys going? young team, bunch out for Origin, no fucking worries. Payton is a fucking legend. Makes awesome calls that benefit, doesn't give a shit about the chatter around him

    Drinkwater on good money but playing shit? Drop him to the QCup. Lights a fire under him and now he's nearly the best bloke in the team.
    Need more punch out of their very expensive forward. Fuck around with his minutes. Cop shit from everywhere. Lolo back to killing it.
    Hell, he signed The Chad and everyone, including certain posters from FNQ thought it was the dumbest piece of recruitment since, well, what ever the Warriors last did. The Chad is battling his replacement and a certain halfback at the Broncos for buy of the year.

    The Cowboys are flying, and while i don't think they can win the comp, they are nailed on for top 4, which makes them the comps overachievers in relation to preseason expectations (certain bandwagon jumping posters from NQ had them bottom 3, with the Broncos. Nostra-fucking-damus over here).

    Also, a quick word on the Titans. We think we have it hard at the Warriors. But we sort of knew we were shit. The Titans were supposed to make the 8 and they SUCK! Holbrook would be in the gun if anyone gave even a solitary fuck about the Titans. I still maintain this started when they fucked everything up to sign Hayne. It cost them a good coach, broke up a good young squad, and then he left anyway. Their club is as terminally fucked as ours

    Always going to happen - they're on the GC, which is where sporting teams die.

    Drinky was sh*t last week but those top teams have a way of making good players look average, he has been killing it outside of that game.

    When we had the Chad last year he was playing busted, but at least even last year he applied structure that we all thought SJ might do for us this year, but SJ has gone back into his shell, no commitment, no running, just trick kicks and very readable intercept passes. I think Chad is playing well, but Reynolds for mine has single handled turned the Broncs. He is still in front in my mind.

    Jury still out on lolo for mine, still not up to speed, but old lolo came out to play last night..got to wonder how much of it was the lack of opposition..Im looking at you Titans/Warriors/Tigers

    Payten going great though, great coach..the latest one that got away. For me he can change a culture which is why I still think not being able to keep him was such a shame.

    Well done Cows!

    I don't that headline is correct - the club is a clusterfuck is a pretty good excuse. He's not a magician.

    another week, another gutless display by a club completely bereft of pride or identity

    Nathan Brown is lost and absolutely has to go, now. Honestly, despite all the ready-made excuses, this club is in serious danger of burning what little level of support it once had. Posters on multiple forums are just giving up in droves.

    That display on Saturday was disgraceful, but even worse, was the same shit as every other week. Manly are a poor side, who average 18 points a game, right up until they were presented with this Warriors "defense" who just don't care.

    The recruitment is dogshit. The squad is dogshit. The coaching is non-existent. If something doesn't change this will end up our worst season ever.

    And there are options FFS! There are a couple of young guys playing QCup who could come in straight away and absolutely do no worse than the current halves, but just might do better. Find some young forwards who actually have punch. STOP RECRUITING GUYS WHO ARE LIKE THE 18TH GUY ON THE LIST OF A MID-LEVEL CLUB AND EXPECTING THEM TO IMPROVE US FFS!!!!!

    Make change, go young, have a direction. Give us something to fucking cheer for!!! Stop playing risk free dogshit football made to look worse by the fact we leak so many points we actually need to attack to stay in a game.

    I hate you because i still fucking care about you. And you let me down over and over again. What are you? What is your identity? Figure that out and move from there. Because right now you are fucking nothing, and going nowhere.

    @mariner4life it was one of the worst I’ve seen for a while. The Storm put more points on us mainly because we got beaten on that right side, but on the weekend our defence in the middle was as porous and ineffectual as I’ve seen.
