Uhh the Raiders my guy

 

[run_it_str8_again]

The warriors won't be invited back next year

The Warriors created revenue and hype though. Despite losing

 

[Canonball]

Ouch, that hurt... and fuck I hate Braith Anasta ... the bench use, while bad, wasn't the main issue btw

 

[1995 Sufra!]

NO good going down inside 22
With rumbling forwards
If you got no backing up from
Dummy halves
5/8 s
Hookers
Nothing
If u put the new young guns on in that pack
Same thing gonna happen
If I’m the coach
I’d be saying stay up the arse of our big boppas
Wait for the offload
If not
Ain’t gonna work

 

[WA Warrior]

You know it’s bad when people think Boyd is the answer

Let’s gone Boydo
I’m one of those

 

[KO WAI RA]

Well Metcalf did produce 1 try assist today!!!!!
With a forward platform getting dominated,you get deepset backline plays which struggle to breach the advantage line…
Can’t recall 1 fluent backline play…

Remember when Addin and Mitch would get us into the kill zone and we would fire blanks?

Today, by the time we got close enough to fire, we were gassed from tackling their pack. Their pack were fearsome and ours was meek and disjointed.

We need a cohesion amongst our pack.

To get that. Start Demetric and Leka and Clark.

That's a pack

It was probably revenue hype also
Kiwis are not big spenders...
$10 at the pokies thats about it

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Im not sold on Clark as anything but an impact prop.

 

[Mr Drag]

Im not sold on Clark as anything but an impact prop.

He no Walker!

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Who would you start as our pack to gain that middle dominance?

 

[Canonball]

There was nothing positive to take from that other than we back in white shorts!!

I hate the white shorts ...

 

[snake77]

I hate the white shorts ...

I hate losing.

Also losing in white shorts.

Its not just a starting pack, its the game plan. Sticky figured us out beautifully; thats why the Raiders spent the 1st 20 dropping the ball underneath, moving our fowards and back row around tiring them out.

Our forwards are small and mobile and our back row is big and slow.

Gotta do something after todays crap performance Frank.
It all starts up front & always has.Our biggest asset was supposed to be upfront & that failed.
Also think RTS has to be the FB. We obviously lack talent in the outside backs.Have we anyone worthy of a crack on the wing?
Unfortunately our roster is shit & our youngsters are not be a fair go.

Fish won't be benched but you got some good elements in there, including more speed, threat and size.

Tough watch. A couple of lucky tries from Canberra, a couple begging from us which would have flattered the score line a little more.

Feels like raiders had a plan and got away with it (pushing up in the line, slowing down ruck excessively, pushing up off the mark hard) and I don’t think they get away with any of that vs a team like Cronulla who will shred your edges if you do that, or a storm/manly/penrith who will just pepper the ball behind your line all day.

Anyway, Vegas is silly. Hope we can bounce back, we’ve got some weird combinations at the moment. Struggling to find a place for CNK in my team at this rate

I was thinking that as I was watching it too. That they were lying down alot longer than we were. Same with their line speed. And no offside penalties

I like the backline. I would go that but with Healey at 14 and Walker 17. CHT is so difficult, he offers so much promise but I believe his best position is 14, however I think Healey adds more spark on attack. So CHT for me is now our second best 14.

I like Healey at 14 however if our forwards aren't going forward it slows his running game which is his best attribute.

I think Sio Kali could be him. Looks big with some speed too. Compared to Tuaupiki who I would put at the back. Where he belongs.
