Yeah it's got a cold wind and slight bits of rain every now and again

Gee half way through the seasonish and playing in a top four clash of the round fixture.

Can you believe it?

Offloads, offloads, offloads... Sticky does it to us every time... team gets gassed fast, then we leak points..
Just hope Webbys prepared the boys to stop it.
We still need to attack and score points, with injuries haven't had the chance to field the strongest backline yet..
Well hope we jag this one... let's gone..

It is ironic how offloads or second phase is the Warriors kryptonite, given it is what the Warriors brought to the NRL since 1995.

You are absolutely correct btw.

The Warriors worst losing record is against the Dragons, they used to offload against us and dummy half run.

The Storm do the same when they play us, they do a Warriors on the Warriors and offload.

I have 'studied' this topic a lot, watched lots of tape over the years to understand why the Warriors fail so emphatically against specific teams, and the main reason is those teams get told to offload against the Warriors.

There are two main reasons that we cannot deal with offloads.

One is that wide of the ruck, the defenders outside of the ABC business get caught out.

Why do they get caught out? historically because they are not paying attention, and a degree of lazyness, they are not paying attention because they are taking a little rest - expecting the ruck defenders to contain the play.

But that didn't explain why it happens to known hard workers in a Warriors defensive line. You would see someone like Tohu or Mannering struggling with the offloads.

Took me a while to work that one out. There is a cluster of problems, inattention, lazyness, and lastly a lack of off the ball footy intelligence....what I am saying is that the reason offloads work against us is that our average player is limited in his study of the game, our average player only knows what he did at training, our average player doesn't read what is unfolding well when it doesn't fit with what the coach to told them that week at training.....our guys just don't think...they don't think about scenarios where the three men making the tackle fail.

Today being smart and working harder is the only way to deal with Stickies offloads.

It really does challenge last year's results and the challenges of losing a lot of established players.

 

[Wrighty]

I have said Raiders 12 and under in the vote. I can't get past the fact they have Tapine against Ford/Afoa/Niukore etc. Tapine is in the argument for best prop in the world.

I have no logic in my picking which is why I'm also not a betting man. Game time soon

I also don't bet. I would get a good win for $150 and then lose it all and find myself making a deposit. I like betting but am not good at it.

Hey guys...just a quick question. Is the game on in a few minutes or on an hour?

I'm on a VPN out of country, but one thing is saying the game starts in a few min, one says in an hour?

Three beers away.

Takes me a month to drink that many

Brandy calling us Very impressive and backing that up with our defence when asked by AnalNasta

 

[sup42]

Thing about Brandy is he feels embarrassed about his Warriors connection and who can blame him, we were embarrassing and we owe him money for unpaid work.
Dunno why fans get bent outta shape about Alexanders dislike of us, we earned that shit, we deserve the ire.

Having said that Alexander is a Webster acolyte, for obvious reasons, if Webster fixes the Warriors it proves that Panfers worship the one true God.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

I am so sick about hearing about Vegas. Hope we win today so we don't have to hear about it ever again.

Fox are doing a massive Warriors build up though....we are at the awkward juncture where the Aussie Media are pumping our tires, we better farkn win or else we will get the come down over there....

 

[Whiteknight]

For those that care, getting a few drops of rain at the ground..
