    The Gannon glaze is too much! Where TF is the proof he is ahead of anyone? His highlights are alright. Doesn't make your pringle tingle.

    The rest is word of mouth, In a comp that would sit 2nd to NSW Cup.

    The proof is we went outside our own stellar nursery and outside the NRL to sign someone in a position we are stacked in.

    I think that if you look at the ESL objectively, it is a competition which can only foster between two and four really good team rosters a season. So rather than being wholesale weaker than the NSW cup as a competition, it is instead grossly inconsistent with the gap between its best and its worst.

    The ESL have beaten the NRL champions more times than the Aussies have won the end of season clashes.

    There are various excuses made for why the Aussies lose, but you cannot say that the ESL is a lesser competition to the NSW cup. If this were a challenge between the winning NSW cup sides and the NRL champs, no amount of excuses would account for the results were the NRL to trail that comp.

    Lastly Gannon has just made the England side at aged 21 which just reinforces that the Warriors have backed the right horse in the eyes of more than just the Warriors recruitment.

    The worry for mine now is losing him. He’s killed it every team he’s came in. Was our best last week and gets dropped for old man, slow motion Egan

    Healey was coming off the bench for Jets in NSW cup for 40 mins a game last year. He's doubled his game time this year by coming to us playing 80 mins every week and has played in first grade as well which was highly unlikely for the Sharks, plus he's learning a lot from Egan. I don't get the HeAlEy WiLl LeAvE uS comments. Based on the interviews I've seen from him he's happy with the decision he made to come over.
     
    Thank fook Webster saw sense.

    No team we roll out is likely to win.

    What kind of club would this be if the guys who ground their way loyally to get us into this game were dropped for it on the whimsical notions of fans who don't have to pick up the pieces next season and convince the whole playing roster that if you do as you are asked you will be the ones rewarded.

    I know, we would have the same fooked Warriors that fires coaches for losing the dressing room.

    Good luck and congratulations to the chosen.

    We are gonna lose.

    Do it with pride.

    Think an experienced outside back could be handy because I’d hate anyone to block Leiataua, surely he’s not far away? Them putting him on the left before he he disappeared would indicate he will potentially replace Pompey at some point, be I really thought he looked so much better on the right in the early stages of the season. They’re being patient with Metcalf and his injuries so perhaps they do the same with Berry and look for a good depth centre and try ride out his unlucky run?

    It’s been mentioned a few times..

    But Berry needs to start training at fullback and wear the number 1 jersey for us next year

    I think everyone can agree that neither CNK or TT is the answer next year (although probably the best with what’s available). I can’t imagine a team winning the GF with either CNK or TT at the back..

    We are a better team when we have Berry’s ball playing and his kick pressure. He’s great under the high ball.

    It would also reduce the workload, traffic and collisions he has put his body through which reduces chance of injury.
     
    Seen a lot of sentiment of the Warriors making up the numbers, us overachieving… stuff all that noise

    We are here, we earned our spot and I don’t give a flying frog who we’re facing; I’m getting on sloshed on Fritz Wieners, Lion Red, V energy (FULL SUGAR!!) and I’m going to cheer the house down. Win or lose, I loved the ride. LESSSSGGGGOOOOOOOOOO

    People acting like TMM is some sort of saviour if he starts, but forget he has been on the field in 16 games this year for:

    2 try assists
    2 line breaks
    Tackle rate 85%
    10 kicks (193m)

    He can plug gaps if someone is injured. A jack of all trades, master of none.

    Whilst I don't necessarily disagree, I think if we are going to hang him on the 16 game stat, we should acknowledge he has played in a variety of positions (sometimes in desperate circumstances), played 80 once and had a total of 6 and a half games worth of time in the middle. He has hardly had the opportunity to put his best foot forward.

    We're not talking about a half who is not doing his job over a run of starts. He is doing what the coach is asking of him satisfactorily, which is plugging gaps.
     
    Whoever is named.

    Our team is already written off.

    We were meant to nose dive out of the 8 when Barney and Metcalf were out for the season.

    Performances haven't set the world on fire.

    Yet your still here at the end of the day brothers,finals footy in your sights.

    Thank you for the ride!!!💙🤍❤️ no matter what the result.

    Hit the switch,change the script.
    Play like its your last.
    You can do it!!!

    This guys quickly becoming the biggest myth. Yes he has 4 premierships, but put Jacko Ford in that panthers side instead of fish, he’d have 4 rings as well.
    His biggest highlight for us was his pukana the other week.

    I disagree and so does chatgpt.

    Tackles: At the Warriors he’s averaging around 34 tackles a game, compared to about 31 a game at Penrith. That’s actually an increase in defensive work.

    Tackle Rate: His tackle efficiency has hit a new career best at 24.6%, higher than the 22.0% he managed at Penrith.

    Running Metres: His running numbers are slightly down, 116 metres a game this year versus roughly 123 at Penrith, but still strong and well above average for a prop.

    Tries/Attack: He’s scored 2 tries in 18 games, which is pretty much what he’s always done – usually 2 to 4 a season. Add in 26 tackle breaks and 5 offloads, and he’s still contributing with the ball.

    Consistency: In total he’s already chalked up more than 2,000 running metres and over 600 tackles this year, plus averaging 45 fantasy points a game. Those are solid, workmanlike numbers that match his career standards.

    The reality is he’s still delivering what he always has. He might not look as dominant without Penrith’s pack around him, but on an individual level his 2025 stats are right in line with his past seasons. The perception that he’s been “poor” for the Warriors is more about the team’s overall platform than his own output.

    Manly in danger of losing Reuben Garrick as NRL club circles

    He is a former Dally M Winger of the Year.
    www.zerotackle.com www.zerotackle.com

    There’s a bit of talk that Reuben Garrick won’t be offered another contract by manly. I’ve got real concerns for Berry and his career with how he’s picking up serious injuries constantly. If we were able to pick Garrick up for 2026, that would be ideal I reckon. Needs someone fit and to lead that kick chase that the right centre does and he kicks also
