Post Match Warriors v Dolphins - [Round 12, 2024]

[Lance155]

He has dominated both games at 7 so shows he's not a one-horse wonder or a show pony. Get off his back Lance

I'm not on his back but when people say he should displace SJ I will call bullshit. Our team was injured and flat whe SJ was leading the team. The comparison garbage until we see SJ get back in the team the way it is.

 

[Damo]

People have short memories, bloody hell.

 

[CWC]

Wait until you check out Ali Leiataua's stats.

Notice how he only plays once after Easter

#Alissiah

 

[Dlenai]

anyone notice that little ad lib grubber in the second half while falling on the last from MGT?

No one really does those little skillful off the cuff plays like that from our regular 1-17 almost lead to a try and at the very least trapped the phins an extra 10 metres further back

 

[Teets]

Objectively speaking it's a no brainer to play TMM at both 6 and 7 in the same game since he has higher average in both positions than SJ, if we want to stick with statistics, that TMM halfback % is premiership level elite. Clone machine here we go

Exactly. This is why we should never have let Taane Milne go.

Man is the Warriors GOAT.

100% win record!

I actually agree with you (as would most others) that SJ comes straight back as 7 but allows TMM more opportunity to show his organising skills. This would take pressure off him and keep the opposition guessing.

Surely this post is a wind up? SJ was one our best performers in a losing team

Not sure....from memory in 2022 Beastmode was calling him washed and to retire, 2023 he was calling for SJ to have a statue outside our stadium and now he wants him to retire again.

 

[Defence]

Remember when the forum wanted to replace Sj with mason lino because we beat the roosters?
Good times…

Saw it on replay and the crowd was like

This place can get confusing if you don't keep up. Someone else wanted TMM to retire about a week ago, now they want him playing as our hooker.

I wanted Roache dropped for the Panthers game, he was amazing, wanted him to start, he did it, now he’s gone, our brief relationship ended abruptly

It does seem to be a bit of a curse lately being the starting 9 for us. Either get knocked out or injured

Not the best idea for the guy with the brain bleed then?

Speaking of winning percentages... I was looking at a few players today, probably doesn't mean much, but:

• Jazz , 5-1-1 (71%). Only involved in one loss to the Roosters, and the tie with Manly.
• CHT, 4-1-1 (67%). Only involved in the last second loss to the Storm, and the tie with Manly.
• Pompey (*as a starting centre) 4-1-0 (80%)*. Only involved in one loss to the Roosters, and kicked 7/8 conversions.
• Walker (* off the bench) 0-5-0 (0%)*, (** starting at lock) 2-0-0 (100%)**, for 29% overall.
• Bunty (* starting in the front row) 3-1-0 (75%)*, (** off the bench) 2-3-0 (40%)**, for 56% overall.

Nice one slime !!!

Yeah I agree. Plus I like my hookers the traditional way - short, strong and sturdy.

The slimmer and taller builds seem to struggle with 80mins of hard knocks. Actually why are hookers generally built this way ie short and bulky? I guess they have to bend over alot?….

 

[3rdstriker]

Are we really that big on TMM all of a sudden? He had a shocker first half last week and was average at best this week. Does winning really skew people's opinions on players that much?

The difference is Tmm helped win games against good teams for two weeks he's helped rescue our season.
Madness to replace Sj but when injured you know we have potential to go into other gears without him.

 

[3rdstriker]

Even more reason to move TMM to hooker.

As long as his head stays out of those nooks and crannies. You'd be throwing the poor man to the wolves putting him there. #massivehiahazards

 

[BigBird]

Just want to give mad credit to pompz for going 4/4 with the boot. His extra 2 conversions over issaako being the difference. My man

 

[tajhay]

Been critical of TMM in the past but in the last two performances he has really stood up. HIs defence and workrate was fantastic yday. Those repeat sets were master-like.

How well has Chanel blended into the team? We have the makings of a really good team here if we can just learn to add some flair and unopredictability into the side. SJ, Egan and Berry being out at the same time has been a good wakeup call to the coaching staff where much of the strategy has been devised around them.
