I love how determined people are to disregard the impact of halves on the rest of the team.

How does the team know what to do, if the halves, the people who instigate and steer the plays, are laying down some incomprehensible shit?

But it doesn't make sense Shaun can suddenly be this bad. I can see it with my eyes but not comprehend - he doesn't seem the same person.

It's not just SJ. Tohu came back and we looked clunkier at the cowboys game.

But yeah, I'm ready to call SJ and Tohu's last season right now.

Edit: Capewell can jog on too.

Ever-Hopeful said SJ is intelligent and he may call it himself before the Ax swings.

Offered very little insight. I’d expect not many changes based on what he was saying.

So starts the dance. A coach managing his own survival, underperforming high paid players and delivering woeful performances. He wants to keep his job. He needs them to show up. Signs aren’t good. Drums will bang the longer he sticks with Dads Army.

Great post. The presser reeked of not wanting to lose the locker room.

The biggest con job I've ever seen.If I was a supporter paid to go and see that I would burn the grandstand down.Lucky my house is still standing after watching it on TV here.There is nothing else to say except no one turned up for 1 sec of the 80 mins for a gutless performance.

 

[SJ’s on Fire]

Playing Walker at 2nd Row (1st Appearance in that Pos for his career) and Jackson Ford at Prop (4th in his career) was an appalling lack of judgement.

Bunty should have started and kept Walker at 13, Jacko back to the edge. Laban more minutes - the boy has showed he can hold his own in the big leagues.

I doubt it makes a difference if the boys showed up with this same attitude but it’s hard when we are coming up with these lineups from the start.

This is the scoreline I wanted last year wonder what sup42 thinks about this?

 

[Worried2Death]

As he should be.

He must at some level understand that whatever his plan is, doesn't work.

Very confronting for a leader when that happens.

A cobbled together team told to play whats in front of them beat two top 4 teams.

An experienced team 18 months into a game plan can't get the ball wider that 10m either side of the posts.

Yeah if he doesn't pull the trigger on some experienced non-performers the fans will be after his blood, but I doubt that fazes him really. I'd drop SJ but he knows more than I ever will about the current squad.

 

[Akkerz]

Presser was not inspiring tbh. Webster showed very litte emotion & no explanation regarding the game or game plan.
Just reiterated that it was his philosophy that "we have to stick together as a team" and that he would wear the result.
Tohu said zilch.
Guess it will all come out in the wash. Starting to look like the all too familiar coaching dramas of the past with this outfit

 

[Possum11]

AFB given up & departed to sharks

 

[Cces]

In his 220th NRL appearance Dylan Walker gets his first cap in the Second Row. That experiment was an abject failure.
Tom Ale hadn't played a single minute, in any grade in close to a month, so they hold him & Laban back until the score is 0-42.
Tohu turns back the clock to finish the game in the Second Row despite no injuries requiring that positional switch.

It all makes absolutely no sense

Incredibly insightful post.

He’s a confidence player and for whatever reason his has gone? Could it be possible he’s taken his role at 7 threatened personal?

“SJ was fit but picked up something today”. - Webby

So at no time today or during the game did AW think of subbing SJ off and switch to having TMM and CHT in the halves. At no time did he think of bringing Laban on and pushing Walker back to 13.

The game was fucked well and truly before halftime but the fact we made no tactical changes like the above tells you a lot.

 

[snake77]

Have to disagree for the fact that changes happened already and we won!

Not bloody rocket science

Remember those changes were pretty much forced due to injury.

It's not that I don't want changes I don't expect there would be a lot. Or it would surprise me.

It wasn't we were winning so guys came back from injury and had to earn their place from the NSW Cup. They came straight back in. We hear from all of our coaches. Players in my team will need to earn their spot. Then they pick the same squads.

The changes a few weeks ago gave our season some hope. The guys came in and played with energy and thought for everything. If we didn't have injuries forcing those changes I doubt we would have such a different side like we saw vs the Panthers, Dolphins and Cowboys.

 

[Jeetz]

The rot started this season when Pompey who played every single game last season and played pretty well all year (besides that one broncos game mistake ) was dropped for RTS who just waltzed his way into the team off his name despite Pompey working his ass off in preseason by all accounts.

Everyone in this thread right now are real Warriors fans given we lost 66-6 and the Super Rugby final is on TV. We are still here trying to find answers for each others questions.
