Hiku played some of his best football for us when he filled in at fullback. I also like the idea of Fusitua back there.Would like to see Fusitua at fullback instead of Hiku, he held his own in 2016 when Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was out for the season
To be fair I’m not sure why they bothered challenging the ban. It was a pretty blatant shoulder charge and he was never going to get it overturned. May as well saved the legal fees!This just adds to the shit we’ve been dished up this year.
Perhaps they just need to take a trip to the airport just to get noticed by the NRL bigwigs.
Not expecting Roger Tuivasa-Sheck to get off so guess Hiku will move to Fullback,Lawton too center and King will come to the bench.Nobody posted it because we dont want to make grown men cry.
Fonzie , when’s the podcast coming out?Maybe but the numbering has misled me many times, don’t count on it
Mate I was thinking of skipping this week. I'm not going to review that game against Melbourne; nothing to be learned from it and it's best just flushed away. Also hard to preview this weekend when I don't have any read on what Payten is thinking and so much is up in the air with selection. So I'd probably just end up jibbering about possible coaches and sledging Isaac Moses for 30 minutes. Not sure anyone really wants to hear that.Fonzie , when’s the podcast coming out?

There's a stat about too many changes after a large loss.
Darwin cited an Australia NRL example: after a team loses a game by 20 points <or more>, the instinct is to make changes. But according to Darwin’s stats, “If you make three changes to the team, when you lose a game by 20 points or more, the chances of you winning next week are 34 per cent. If you make two changes, it’s 39 per cent. If you make one change, it’s 43 per cent. If you make no changes, it’s 49 per cent.”
Agree... but how many shoulder charges have not been sighted this year... it seems the Warriors are still targeted... when other clubs are not!To be fair I’m not sure why they bothered challenging the ban. It was a pretty blatant shoulder charge and he was never going to get it overturned. May as well saved the legal fees!
Maybe they still have hopes of making the 8? Tbh I can't see that happening with our halves and the form of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck currently.Can someone explain the reasoning as to why we arn't blooding players? We literally have nothing to gain this season, so why are blokes like Hetherington walking into a bench spot. Blake Green is not there next season, sit him down and give Chanel Harris-Tavita a decent nudge to see if hes worth persuing further. Give king a decent run see if hes worth putting more time into. Fringe and younger players such as ATG and Ale. Is it the two week thing, what am I missing? Starting to get a bit agitated with this loan player bullshit, when we are a no show of making the 8.

There’s also the saying about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results which is the definition of insanity/Kearney coaching...There's a stat about too many changes after a large loss.
