Go the Warriors

 

[Jordan G]

No idea because I have no idea who is available. Yet another week where we suffer more injuries before and during the game. Always happens to us at the start of the season, I hope someone is looking into it. Has to reach a point where it's more than just luck.

This season is quickly becoming unrecoverable, lose this one and its an uphill battle just to make the 8

The Cowboys lost their first three last year. Canberra were shite in the first half of 1989 and won the GF. Don't jump off the cliff....yet.

I've only voted for 16 - sorry, but I just can't bring myself to vote for Robbo and there was no other alternative that I could see.

Not to mention us losing our first three in 2011 before making the GF.

Can see Cappy naming the same side but I wish we had an alternative to Robson and Wright. Resigned to Konrad getting overlooked again even if Kata is injured

I don't think he did enough in NSW Cup to make the top team. I did like Charls NK and Ali though.

It may not be popular, but Shaun Johnson needs a wake up call, running at the line requires no genuine pace, just an ability to read the game and a bit of courage, ala Foran. He was a deadset liability today, and it seemed everyone around me at the ground thought so too. Lolohea deserves a shot now especially as he is wasted on the wing. We need Gubbs attitude to start a game not just for impact, and also Lisone on the right for a bit of power.

 

[bruce]

Lolohea deserves a shot now especially as he is wasted on the wing.

I think judging him on his performance in the Kiwis is a mistake. They were in England against a very good side. Test football is a definite step up from NRL. I think he is wasted outside as well.

Basically we should win this on paper
but when you factor in the cappy Effect?

 

[Pete]

Imagine if we actually win this game. Will the forums riders remember what or how to write when we win. Warriors fans charging through the street hammered from celebrating. That will be a crazy crazy day. Wow...that will be a good day. Let the same team play again I guess with hopefully Luke back.

He wouldn't be perfect at 6 but I'm just not seeing anything from Shaun Johnson to suggest improvement is imminent. I remember thinking while watching Lolohea for the first time that he would end up better than Shaun Johnson, and it wasn't based on talent just attitude, one player hated getting tackled and the other went into contact like it was nothing. These are the things our coaches neglect, they just look at the highlight reel.

 

[ShaunJohnson7]

Please can we give Ali a shot? What do we have to lose? It could lift the whole team and he can still play. He showed it v the Kiwi's last year and he's going well this season. It's time.

Give us long suffering fans something to get excited about!

 

[Blain]

Can Gubb play lock? I want to see him cutting guys in half, I don't even care if he doesn't even touch the ball in attack.

Wright off the wing.. He seriously adds nothing. I'd take Allwood TBH. Hurrell showed why he isn't in first grade today, needs to learn how to defend. Robson was targeted with mixed results also, not sold on him.

 

[bruce]

I'd take Allwood TBH

The commentators rated his performance today. He looked steady but this is NSW Cup remember and I don't think Ayshford was a disaster.
