Cmon bro, our backline’s so bad last years scape goat Dal is currently the first back picked in this backline.
Every other clubs picking 19 year old stars and we’re over here with our retirement village backline

That is one of the most incomprehensible decisions made by the judiciary and sets a standard which will be watched closely to see if it is enforced across all games

We’ll either be 4 and 2 or 3 and 3 so let’s not write the season off just yet
you'd think the rlpa should have something to say about it - how does Fale get 1 week for a kick to the head/throat and Pompey two for something that was by definition arguable ? Also I simply don't understand the imposition of more punishment when you front and even less so when fronting with a guilty plea asking for a downgrade - fucking ridiculous system which runs counter to good judicial principles
This backlines been poor since 24, they’re not just gonna magically sprout from their cacoon and turn into a butterfly.

It’s largely the backline that was a top 4 team for two thirds of 2025 and fizzled out when their halfback went down for the remainder of the season. Let me know if you want me to type it out twice rather than you hit reply twice
Might work. Giving Storm too many options on either edges will confuse them and maybe cause them to spill their lollies.
or itd be a long long night again.
What irked me on the weekend was watching KL Iro licking his lips everytime he got the ball.

Can’t deny there are issues but on averages I thought you’d give them 3 losses after 3 good wins to say they are so mud. That’s the great thing about this comp is that anyone can tip anyone over on any given week if you’re not on
I’m not sure why the Warriors contested the Pompey ban - I thought they should have settled for a 1 match ban.
If CNK or Ali fail miserably at centre , what happens in the following week?
I know he’s been named but has CNK been officially cleared to play vs the Storm? He looked a bit wobbly coming off Shark Park.

This impending crisis was avoidable in my opinion. Changing settled/winning combinations and selecting players out of position is so disappointing . Momentum gone and frankly they look lost for direction. This one`s on Webster. A thrashing against the Storm will wreck what was a really promising start and great vibe.

I don't buy this narrative at all. It's a convenient excuse because of timing, but not one that really holds up to any analysis.
Our attitude has been ordinary the last two weeks and that's taken us most of the way towards losses.

OK I respect your view..my offering was more based from my time spent playing sport when changes either enforced or otherwise really affected the results either through players not gelling, confidence lost and that a spiralling out of control. I see it in the halves with Boyd and Hanson and then the introduction of Metcalf. I wouldn`t fancy playing in some of these combo`s. You`ve got to be able to count on your inside and outside men!...attitude changes and is consequential imo
