I still maintain it was a game plan thing from Webster, because going to Shaun worked all of last season.
I am not finding excuses for Johnson, he is easily our best organising half in the squad.
Hmm werent you the one a few weeks back absolutely spraying SJ for getting caught on the 4th tackle a couple of times in the game against the Titans taking himself out of the last play option? Apparently its what cost us the game.....might have been a chance for the other playmaker to step up then no?
Boats n Hoes
Boats n HoesMore variation needed was obviously evident during that bad patch.
There are a number of things that have all added up to produce the results we had. Injuries including to SJ, tactics, lack of variation, bench use, etc I don't think you can pin any of it on one thing just as it isn't all on TMM for the two wins we have just had. Though he must have given pause for breath to a number of his detractors. I think the return of our 'A' team is going to be very interesting and I'm hoping to see a dominant Warriors run, through until at least the next bye. The key figure in all of this will be Webster, particularly when it comes to how that left edge works. I think he has realized that it can be better. He said in one of his press conferences when asked about TMMs form that they just park him on the left edge and we need to find a way to get him more involved. Some took that to mean TMM wasn't getting involved but it appears to me that he was acknowledging the strategy or tactics were heavily weighted to that right edge and SJ as the dominant play maker. Given AWs comments over the last few weeks around what we are now seeing, not just from TMM, but the whole team, I am expecting to see the variations and tactics to remain.Hmm werent you the one a few weeks back absolutely spraying SJ for getting caught on the 4th tackle a couple of times in the game against the Titans taking himself out of the last play option?

Shaun needs to own this game.
We had no rudder there.
Shauns fault. He has one job, and it aint dying with the ball on the last two sets in a row.
Tbh bro while i generally respect your opinion and the good points you make i just find your views either overly entrenched, or contradictory to suit whatever bandwagon your on at the time (Laban, Walsh, SJ last year), or overly emotive (we're all either dumb khunts, suck arses or sheep) to constructively debate with, hence why i dont reply to the flood of (paraphrasing here)"SJs to blame" "Laban the next generational talent" type posts.......so ill just "like' the ones i agree with......which their are many.
As far as the lefts "failure": is concerned i dont put all that on Te Maire at all, like everything its never just "one" thing and all must take responsibilty......including SJ and how he connects with Te Maire.....but moreso its evdent we werent running the same structures that side (no multiple lead runners, Charnze very rarely sweeps that side, Capewell or whichever 2nd rower running that edge inability to shorten the defensive line)......and to this which even yours (and mine) beloved Webster must take responsibilty. Tbh i think your the one who lacks perspective as your so entrenched in your SJ view that you wont acknowledge all these other factors because it doesnt suit your marrative of the number 1 target.
And im not that entrenched as an SJ fan to realize a lack of variation was obviously evident, i was probably calling for it before it became the en vogue thing to do, (hate quoting my own posts, so tacky)
We needed to shelve the block plays 2nite. Block plays in those conditions are always fucking hard cause you cant get the crispness or timing, of passing or catching..... just end up going sideways which is easy D.
More variation needed was obviously evident during that bad patch.
Wether through SJ monopolizing or TMM content taking a backseat (probably a bit of both) hopefully now TMM has the confidence to impose himself on a game, and the rest of the team has the confidence when he calls for the ball (actually no demand the ball).....give it to him.
As fas as TMM taking more ownership as an alternate playmaker ive played enough League as a halfback to know you need to own it, and as i alluded to in the post you quoted the signs were there he was content to take a backseat......Te Maire himself has even come out and said as much, Coach Webster has said the same thing.....and we 100% need him to even with SJ back to get that defence looking the other way.
Tbh tho as much as the attack has been the focus of the last 2 weeks i think whats criminally been overlooked (and surprisingly so for a self acclaimed "tactics sage") and for mine the main factors in our improvement the last couple of weeks is that since we went on that losing streak the last 2 games either our error rate or penalties conceded has been less than the opposition and we've our highest tackle efficiency rate. This means we've been able to sustain pressure on attack because we havent been handing over the ball or yielding field position through piggyback penalties, plus we're just defending a helluva lot better.
I guarentee you these are the KPIs and factors Websters been referring to in his press conferences in the "we were happy we were able to achieve the things we wanted to" because without these basics it doesnt matter who u throw out there your not a chance.
I also acknowledge that during that losing period the whole team just appeared flat and the young ones coming through certainly added much needed spark. Was down to a lot of guys playing busted (whcih im not a fan of) plus some pretty questionable Bench tactics which only Webby can take responsibilty for.
As a Warriors fan im stoked Te Maires stepped up (cause god knows we need him to) but if your objective enough their are still limitations in his game and if it turns out the variations of play arent evident when SJ and the senior players get back, and if the root cause is SJ then so be it the change should be made accordingly. Even tho im a unabashed SJ fan im a Warriors fan first and foremost......however can u say the same if SJ comes back and kills it?, as ive noticed in the past your pretty quick to try change the narrative when it doesnt back up your rants. Also i cant help but disagree how Te Maire and the left goes isnt soley on SJ....thats ridiculous.....without doubt those 2 need to connect better, but also without doubt hopefully Te Maires new found confidence means he doesnt take a backseat, that when they have gone right, he's organising his edge getting ready to pull the trigger,,,,,and then Demanding the ball.
Also u say being an SJ fan like its a bad thing lol. Why shouldnt we be.......has genuine love for the club., knocked back 2 offers now to stay with the club he loves, has never been in an ounce of trouble off the park over a long career, unlike the plethora of other dickheads, a great inspiration and example to the younger players, and a significant reason why League in this country is on the upturn. If loss of form or injury takes him so be it, the end is nigh as they say......but either way, he's a champion,
Like i said bro no offence, u generally have some really insightful observations and no doubt you'll have a clever reply instore, but ill probably leave this here as i dont do tit for tat. Have a good night. Uo the Wahs!
Holy crap I need to pack a lunch just to read that reply....lmaoHmm werent you the one a few weeks back absolutely spraying SJ for getting caught on the 4th tackle a couple of times in the game against the Titans taking himself out of the last play option?
