You cannot unless we develop internally and then we have to wait.
No certainty that they will go on.
Hard to get established middles relocating and then you have the same problem we had with AFB doing a runner
I was someone who questioned whether he would put in this year under the circumstances and am glad to say how wrong I was, he was about the most willing out there on Friday. A real testament to his character and the esteem he obviously holds the club to in his time here. Really hope we can send him over on a high as unfortunate as it is to lose him
Don’t think we can
Option B one of our youngsters steps up plus an experienced bull with PCM and have nice prop combo rotation
Bench just so important to get right
He's gotta learn to run wider and deeper.
He is still learning his new position but he will
You can't
Dunno why the lols to this post.On the good side - out of all the losing teams this round, we lost by the smallest margin (4 pts)
It was a narrow loss in a tight contest, the Sharks are good at the arm wrestle, we did well considering the players we lost in game.
Because it's a tongue in cheek comment, brother.
Nothing more, nothing less.
You can't stay this rigid all season Sup, you'll have a heart attack.
Best post of the whole thread. I hope we all stay as one Whanau after losses.
Like it HahaAs usual Wrighty we will have our ups and downs but yes.
Indeed. Just watched the final 20 mins again, and neither team scored - a real arm wrestle like you say, and it's incredible how much pressure we put on the Sharks defensive line. Just couldn't convert it into points.
As a negative he has an abysmally slow PTB though
Everyone’s critical of us but there's 2 sides in the game - the Sharks were a defensive wall when it mattered. They were under immense fatigue and just kept turning up and shutting down our plays, getting up quick into our faces and slowing our play the ball.
Smart and committed defence and we weren’t crisp enough to overcome it.
Still feel if that game was a few weeks into the season we would steamroll them once our combinations click. Statistically we did more than enough to win.
What you want in an NRL team is being hard to beat. We cannot win every game, so if you are gonna lose, lose well I say, make a fight of it. Show what you are made of mentally.
The Warriors especially, cannot afford to show a soft underbelly.
At least the Sharks will not feel confident when we play them again, as we have seen with certain clubs, once you let them get the wood on you, the Warriors cannot beat some teams that have no respect for us.
We play two of them in the first six rounds, this weekend, then Souths.
