game over... season over

Best game last week followed up with our Worst. Typical.

A real love /hate relationship with this club.
like Ying and Yang,
Hot and Cold,
Good and Bad,
Dumb and Dumber.

You can kiss our top 8 good-bye.

 

[Duh herro]

General thoughts -

Lolohea - Put him in reserve, I dont give a singular fuck about how "good" the media says he is. He has played shite tonight and deserved to be subbed.

Vatuvei - Pretty decent actually, need more of it

Lisone - Love his runs better than the shoulder charge run of vete. (Though vete still pretty good) The only forwards that look like they could give a fuck are Roache (Hooker) and lisone and vete. The rest have been disgraceful. TF are the commentators on that they think our fowards are powerful.

Thompson - An out of sorts game for him expect him to bounce back.

Kata - Didnt get ball, when he did he made some powerful runs. Also two tries, which he pulled right out of his ass.

Johnson - Meh.

Fusitua - Good not Brilliant but still a stand out in a shit game.

Roache and Tevaga - Both Really good rate them hopefully they stay and survive this shitstorm of a season.

As they've suspended posts on the sack cappy thread and in the wake of this debacle, I do believe the fat lady is singing and it sounds a little like. .. na na na, na na na , hey hey goodbye

Positives- I'm struggling kata was pretty good?

Negatives- Everything else, bonus negative points for Tui and our forwards in the first half.

 

[Maddog]

All the Warriors flaws were exposed tonight. I'd hate to think what the score might have been if Reynolds had stayed on the field. Ouch!

I hate to say I told you so but I did.

Tui was terrible. Caught out of position almost every time the bunnies scored in the first half. Disappointed in that result. Cappy has his work cut out for him now to make the 8 and save his job

While I don't feel like jumping on the Cappy hatewagon, what sympathy I did have for him is being eroded week by week with his inability to recognise that having two titanics on the wing is not only hurting our attack, but at some point it was going to kill our defense too.

And yes having an unnavigated dingy between them really didn't help

Whoa! Sounds almost like the Dally M's, maybe i'll win? Could be a good season after all..

Roache and Tevaga NO MISSED TACKLES. If the rest played like them we would have romped in.

yes you did

Glass half full lol

 

[eudebrito]

On the one hand we get the best Souths have played all year, on the other hand a few warriors absolutely went missing and seem to infect the rest.

Really showed a lack of respect to the opposition. Maybe the coach did tell them "these guys suck, your oarsome boys". Bad cappy.

Does need to look at the outside back mix, there's only one fusitua though, we need at least 2 more.

Nothing's really changed, these pricks can't get it into their psyche that if you half ass it, you will get beat by heaps. Every time. Not crying into my beer, you suspected at let down was around the corner, I actually do think they'll bounce back with some efforts.. But still miss the 8. Because they've had like 4-5 straight unacceptable efforts this year.

 

[Jordan G]

Maybe Jim saw this coming which is why he got the FB Q&A out the way this week.

The team wasn't up for that game. The try from Kata had them thinking it was business as usual. If they were genuine NRL players they should know it is an 80 minute game. Cappy get your stats department to identify them and put them on the transfer list.

I hate to say I told you so but I did.

to be fair you say a lot of shit, eventual you had to get lucky and get something right

 

[Xfactor]

Jeez you Warriors, you had us fooled there for a minute

And then, right on cue....you remind us of why we are such jaded pessimists
