I think Taumalolo is done as a top player. Just doesn't have the same pop in his carries.
I think he is short of a gallop although Payton not giving him minutes last year or this year is this year so far is a worry. You are right though, not having the impact you would expect and a lot of salary cap right there too

So Warriors first game goes as what most expected, moment of excitement and moments of same old dumb sh*t, brain fades and drift out of games. Oddly enough the same can be said for the opposition who got it together though late when it counted. Highlights included SJ as a dominant half not overplaying his hand had some good touches for his first game back and hopefully will play foil for Reece Walsh next week. AFB making 60 metres off a kick off, Curran getting through a mountain of work, often even turning up to help CHT at the back, even earnt himself 3 DM points on a losing team. Lowlights: Apart from losing a winnable game, failing to find the right play on the last tackle, Viliame Vailea and DWZ injured already. Although Pompey, Aitken and Arthurs is a very handy back up
Some rule changes that could help this year;
Carry-over points for contrary conduct will be scrapped as part of a variety of changes to the NRL's Match Review Committee and judiciary processes. Players serving suspensions for on-field incidents from 2021 - such as Latrell Mitchell, Matt Lodge and Harry Grant - must still serve those bans.
However, all players will have their slate wiped clean ahead of the upcoming season, with player records to be reset on a rolling 12-month period since their last offence.
Speaking of back up, the Storm lose Brandon Smith (hand), G Jennings (knee), Welch (calf) and still win, in this week, Harry Grant, Cameron Munster, J. Bromwich, D.Ieremea.. that is an impressive depth of squad.

Nah, the Warriors never get the spoon, they always win enough to give you true believers enough hope to stay onboard next year.

Yep, usually a late season surge when nothing else matters except fooling people into thinking they might be on the verge of something half decent next year.
If the warriors were a sign they’d be this one

Speaking of the spoon, I checked the points table and note that Manly-Warringah are currently holding down last position, closely challenged by Sydney City and the New Zealand Warriors.

you know how i said SJ was worth the money at $400k?
Turns out i was wrong. To be worth that you have to play most of the games.

Crazy last 15 minutes to last night's game.
If Harry Grant doesn't have to share too much of the hooker duties with Brandon Smith, he could go close to winning the Dally M this year.
Already in the first two rounds there have been some absolute cracking finishes. Looked like it was gonna be 1 way traffic for the Storm early and well it was on the scoreboard for almost the first 70mins. Latrell couldnt kick em off the tee but that droppie was huge!

Weirdest game you'll ever see. Melbourne played enough good footy to win 2 games. Souths made enough errors to lose 2
And yet we go to golden point.
Look at the series of events too
Kick off allowed to go dead
Short drop out goes 5m, then bounces 5m right to a souths player
Latrell hits the best drop goal you'll ever see. What, 48 metres? And sailed over too.
Thrn in golden point it's won with one of the worst drop goals you'll ever see
