Sympathetic to the majority of Warriors supporters that don’t jump down rabbit holes every time we lose a game. Re the decision - knock on every time.Were they dissing us or sympathetic??
Its a pity he was a couple of years away from connecting with prime SJ.....now that wouldve been sexy.
We are really predictable, even a shift early in set now and then would have the defence guessing a bit more. In saying that, I’ve liked our shape in recent times. There’s always going to be space open from the attention Halasima gets, it’s up to us to set up plays with this in mind. I agree regarding SJ, that would have been epic to have Halasima running off him and a kick target. Thought Niukore was a big part of SJ’s success in 2023 tooIts a pity he was a couple of years away from connecting with prime SJ.....now that wouldve been sexy.
As u say need to nip the "throw it to Leka when nothings on and hope for the best" in the butt right now. Movement off the ball around him is key i feel, especially when he's receiving it off shapes, decoys and sweepers just to create 1 on 1 or space.....we've seen how lethal he can be in that situation. Also think we overdo the crash ball at the line at times, mix it up with some nice early ball.
I mean he is a weapon now but Katoa at the Storm and Nikora at the Sharks arent bad blueprints to work off.
There was a period in 2023 when there was always players in motion and SJ looked great. We need to get that style back, Tanah ain't SJ but he needs more to work with as he does take the ball to the line.We are really predictable, even a shift early in set now and then would have the defence guessing a bit more.

His break was from a one out hit up from memory. I also think when you have a conservative game plan it sets the mindset of players. When you play a more varied, attacking game things start to happen more for you and players have a different mindset. I know the result didn't go our way against the Dolphins but I thought that game was one of the most dangerous we looked with ball in hand. We were much more positive, looking for chances to attack and I think it's one of the few games this season where we created legitimate space and overlaps for our outside backs through good ball movement and shape.Interesting that when RTS got the break against Parra he didnt have the speed to continue on. There was also no real support around him . Remember the days of Wade McKinnon and Lancey boy always backing up players waiting for the pass?
Years ago working offshore, been away for 8 weeks, came home, kids watching tv, said hey guys I'm home, no one blinked. Picked up the tv and hurled through the ranchslider into the pool. Unfortunately the ranch slider was closed.Too much Once were Warriors from you Jake…
