    I know a lot seem to be raving about this signing, but he is 17?
    On a 4 year contract. Will he even play much 1st grade? Or are we just paying to develop him and then he leaves just as he reaches his prime. I suppose that is always a risk though.

    @Darren Most people talking him up wouldn't have even seen him play. If his name was John Smith, no one would bat an eyelid.

    Every warriors game looks exactly the same. Start well, be on top, score early. Then every set is good metres followed by a bomb to our right. Set after set. No contesting. No variations. Give away penalties. Other team gets in to their rhythm. The lead evaporates.

    Sometimes we come back. Sometimes we don't.

    We are very predictable and not exciting to watch in this mode.

    Why the fuck would you waste a captains challenge with 21 seconds to go? And then lose it.

    Not looking great at the moment. Last two games we have had super leaky defence. Lacking imagination on attack.
    Johnson with one grubber and very few runs (if any), which are worthy just to keep the defence guessing.
    Great support from fans though. I’m loving watching the Warriors at the moment even if I’m not a die hard. Lots of family and friends are.

    I don't know how they held us out in the final 10 minutes. But we shouldn't have dug the hole we found ourselves in in the first place

    They were gassed more than 20 from the end. We were abysmal. We should have put them away yet our only moves are hopping AFB barrels over or kick to Perriera's wing. If the Titans had a wing who could catch a high ball then we'd only have one tactic.

    League loves to wank on about how superior their players are to their union counterparts in terms of defence ( Ok this cliche may be 30 years old ) but by Christ DWZ was an absolute turnstile ( same as last week )

    Just got back from two-up and this was on the TV in the background. Why are the Warriors persisting with this three legged donkey on the right wing? In the second half his defensive shithousery gifted the GC two tries. The GC fer fuck's sake.

    Warriors have some problems, they’re not terminal, but will be if they don’t sort it out ASAP.

    Going to sleep after 20 minutes… again, what the hell is going on there?

    At times attacking inside the 20m we look like our players just met each other in the pre match warm ups… šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø

    I think Egan, Johnson and TMM aren’t running it enough, we get too into playing the percentages and these guys forget how good they are when they have a go.

    God that was frustrating.

    Fuck fuck fuck

    How the fuck do you lose that. I think you’re right they’re not terminal but there are some really worrying signs though where they switch off.

    DWZ and Montoya both going through really bad out of form spells at the same time.

    Short of middles and some tactics just not working, think we would all like a couple of variations from ā€œtrust the processā€ which just is not working in attack.

    Still a game we should have won

    Looks like the Roosters finally played to the ability of their squad, shit they are good when they click

    I’m going back to the drink ..

    to be fair 30 years ago it was true , union is very different now in that area though

    well, i for one would like to thank both the Dragons and the Bunnies for taking the spotlight off that shithouse Warriors performance. The story today could easily be how we folded at home and gave the Titans their first win.

    But no, today it will be that the Roosters are back, and the fact that the Dragons had 60 put on them, and how the Bunnies were eliminated from premiership contention because Melbourne put 50 past them.

    The Warriors need a hard reset.

    Our attack has gone to shit. Linebreaks are non-existent, but our completion rates are awesome. We're back to that shit we played under Nathan Brown. Last year a strength was the complete faith in the process. This year it's a weakness because when it's not working, we're not trying anything else until we are chasing the game.

    SJ isn't challenging the line enough, our sweep plays involve too much lateral running, and teams are just sliding. I am not sure of the stats, but i feel like our wingers score the smallest percentage of our tries in the league.
    We're rubbishing Montoya, but he gets no ball in attack, gets no balls kicked to his wing, he's basically there to cart the ball out of our own end. We have no plan to get Roger in space, and to be fair, he doesn't look like taking the outside shoulder and putting a winger away.
    Dallin is Dallin, rocks and diamonds. But there aren't many diamonds as he is starved of opportunity.
    TMM is a waste of space. Harris is digging in to the line, but too often his pass is too deep, and the opposition knows it's coming.
    I am fucking sick of the same set being played over and over for no result. Great plan if you have Penrith's defence and discipline. You get rewards. We can't force errors or jam a team in their own end. And then we'll give away a late penalty.

    Webster needs to take a step back and have a look, i reckon we need the bye desperately for a reset. If every game looks exactly the same, it has to be by design.

    @mariner4life SJ has an achilles problem which I presume is impacting him challenging the line. Montoya and DWZ still have a job to do which both can do extremely well, but a combination of trying to hard and in some cases not trusting their inside man on defence have been worse of late.
    I dont mind the process that gets us down to the other end of the field, but our options in the red zone are so easy to read (until as you say our backs are against the wall)
    Anyway, not making excuse for them and I don't disagree though with most of your observations, probably a bit harsh on TMM, he even had a new edge forward that he hadnt worked with either
    Anyway 10 days off, so almost like a bye, but agree some big work ons

    Wonder if JD lasts this week now after Melbourne do a Melbourne

    Well they're only 1 point out of the 8 (not sure what effect remaining games will have) so not terminal yet.

    @mariner4life I see your boy Kenty getting into a scrap and getting thrown into a tree šŸ˜‚
    But no doubt he'll be back on 360 bagging out the players behavior off the field.
