Staff Andrew Webster

[sup42]

Might have to be a little bit more patient in transitioning into Websters preferred team even if we miss the 8.
Last year was a miracle this year has brought us all back down to , Webster has showed he can coach but he is relatively new so patience has to be shown with him and the beautiful pathways we have kicked off.

Well said and yeah after one fantastic season we all turned into a sorority house of entitled Karens (I include myself in the Gamma Alpha Beta Karens).

Indeed as you point out, the pathways system looks incredible at the Warriors, Cappy is a God Dam genius.

The Owner is a bit of a Character, part idiot on the piss, part Alpha go getter. At the moment the ledger is tipped heavily in his favor in terms of actively funding and driving this organization. The complete opposite to Watson and other owners.

Ole Mohawk is just a fan who had lots of money that is spending it large because he can on his dream....like any Warriors fan....he has the same dream as the rest of us, to win the dam thing no matter what it takes.

Just keep him away from the players when he is on the piss (again like any fan and as such I forgive you your sins my child).

Webster will be around for the longest tenure of any Warriors coach by the looks which solves another Warrior weakness, the premature sacking of decent coaches.

I remember losing to Penrith by 8 in '03 GF qualifier

They went on to win the title and Gus was like history repeat itself (they won in 1993, then 2003), didn't repeat itself in 2013 so they made it up by winning 2021, 2022 and 2023 for a bonus lol. Sick

My favourite memory of the 2003 Finals series was Matt Elliott's comment after one of the Raiders players - Jason Bulgarelli - stuffed up a try put-down which ultimately cost them the game against us (we won 17-16): "He'll be alright, after we beat crap out of the bastard!"
2003 Francis Meli goes and gets a Four Try Smash againts the Bulldogs, we beat the Raiders by 1 and then, yep, 8 points to the Panthers who at least make us feel good about losing to the 2003 NRL Premiers.

Good old memories, I remember Warriors finishing 6th and demolishing the Dogs, Motu Toni was awesome at hooker, yes Francis 4-fer, Jones field goal to win against Raiders

Now I remembered the knock on that cost them the game lol!

I don't think so, he just needs some young coachable players.

The old dogs don't get the new tricks.

So the young players we already have are not coachable?

Those young players are right there in front of him. The young fellas that won us two games against two top 4 teams.

Why can he not see what everyone can???????? Hard call to make but Tohu, SJ, Egan, RTS and Jazz are done in my books. Montoya too. Kosi was the deciding factor for me…. I thought that team list was a decoy.. but nope… he went ahead and played that ridiculous line up and look at the result…

Bit harsh on Egan. Others I can understand to an extent. Tohu can play a role off the bench, 50 mins max. Jazz had played well prior to the game yesterday too, and had played well during that 3 game stint. May have played himself out of an extension though

Dude, he’s so slow now. Sorry to say it but he’s busted. Used to have bullet precise passes from DH and could break the line wide open… I’m seeing nothing better than what a younger more vibrant half like a Paul Roache could do….

Your speed starts from PTB and your dummy half giving quick and crisp passing to the halves… when that delivery is slow - everything else is slower

As for Tohu. Old man is done. He’s not an impact player and will not lift the team another gear if he came off the bench

If you are basing it off yesterdays game, our forwards got absolutely rolled. He had nothing to play off
He's still a great DH and I disagree with your assessment that his passes have got worse. They look exactly the same to me.

Wayde is only 27, not sure why you are making him out to be ancient. Paul Roache is 2 years younger

Sorry to say but he’s been injured so many times … I don’t why but I noticed his service was not as fast and crisp as I expected when I was watching at MSS. I had a very high regard for him a few seasons ago but honestly feel he’s digressed significantly…..

Age is just a number. Look at Tohu, he walks like my dad who’s nearly 80….

Well agree to disagree on Egan. His service hasn't changed at all imo. He engages defenders a lot before passing, probably makes his service seem slow. Maybe he could do that less? Sure.
I assume you mean regressed also.

 

[Tragic]

Egan making more runs this year than ever, maybe he got too many head knocks and thinks he is api korisau

yeah 5-10m each time before hes gang tackled...

Andrew Webster is still the right person to be our coach but he needs to learn from his part in the titans game.

He needs to figure out how to get inside players heads so that they don’t ever turn up with that kind of attitude again.

But he also needs to learn from his selection and substitution mistakes as well. At one stage our middle forwards were CHT, Jazz and Ford. That was always going to get overpowered. It doesn’t excuse the lack of effort but it definitely contributed to the result

Yip, I think we forget that he's a second year head coach. Give him time and he'll be good.

The big issue for me is that our 'bigger name' players are quite old - in sporting circles. Note that, four out of the five named below are our most injured/less effected players.

SJ - 33 years old
Tohu - 32 years old - knees of an 80 year old.
RTS - 31 years old.
Capewell and Barnett - 30 years old.

I get that smarts come with experience, but imo you can't afford to have a contingent of those guys not being supported by young and explosive players.

Nah, we say what happened vs Penrith and Dolphins

Egan s form has regressed since he signed his new multi year contract in itself dubious as the guy has so many head knocks he is a year to year proposition.

 

[PullingTeets]

I think Websters continual miss use of the bench shows how bad a coach he is Another great assistant like Kearney but gets found out in the end as a head coach.

Disagree, last year wasn't an anomaly. And I think Todd Payten had this same issue. Hard to tell what's going on with this lot, but 22 missed tackles apparently in the first half? That's not the coach.
