The players heed to just dig in, show some heart and wait for the cavalry to arrive next year in the form of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Luke and a recovered Johnson. No Chad. Lets develop Lino and any other players they think have potential.

I think I'll cry for a very long time if I see chads come back in for Lino 
There will always be a Warriors team in the Nrl with us fans..we may be going trough a rough patch put it does the heart good to see this..#warriors is my team again
How much do they hate Mathew Allwood if he doesn’t end up in the team this evening?
He’s the only other specialist outside back left standing at the club, and you cannot in good conscience send Kata-Maomalo back out there together again.
Maybe he does suck, but he was adequate in his one game this year, and if they are trying to shop him around, give him a chance to show something.
It was painful to watch Lino, Kata, Maomalo all back peddling in perfect coordination, like they were doing a line dance welcoming the cowboys in, they are all doing the same thing, so clearly have been taught to do it at some point, what kind of coaching is that? At least Kata had the gumption to say f- this and start coming up in the second half.
And put fatty konrad back in the centres, he’s not actually supplying any impact off the bench.

I think we shop konnie too England with mudkins.good riddance I say if he ain't dead wood then what is.ill give him one protection once he changed his running style he has been inadequate,no line breaks or tackle busts go back to your normal running style so we can get some impetuous again please
Poor Konnie is a confidence player sure he is fat but everyone knows that if he left for another club he would be a superstar no doubt, he needs game time and a whole 80 minutes then a good off season ( I compare him to dave taylor another player unfit and down on minutes for fucks sake these guys win games) so he has to play this week. I will put it out there would mannering be captain at any other NRL club? instead of lifting the troops he has gone backwards and a loose forward? he has never been one ever! this season was fucked long ago but did we ever believe with Chad at 6 we would ever be a hope? I say not. interesting to see Maloney going to sharks as well.
Got to be honest, that list isn't impressing me, None of them are stars or even Good players in top 8 sides. At best they are good solid players in bottom 8 teams but most are NSW Cup quality players or worst.
Just highlights the problem, Its not the coach it's the quality of the team. We our players to high.
Should let him go. He's not learning the downside is to big now & should be a better player. Looks unfit & it show in some of his decision making on defense late in games. They were carrying him on the bench. What a joke for a center, That was happening when he started 2 years ago. it's not go enough.
Should be Tomkins in the halves &
Should be another option Tomkins in the halves & with
Lino. Thats what i would do & swap Lolohea to FB. Tomkin needs to earn some of the money he's paid & take the responsibility to lead the side around.
I want to see Tui play alongside Shaun Johnson in the halves before I go with Lino. If he proves better in centre's then put Lino with Shaun Johnson next year. He's solid and not bad at the little kicks.
This game is a cripple fight if we ever saw one.
One more game for Lino if Chad is still sick then back to NSW cup to make a serious effort in taking out that comp. If not having him in the NSW Cup side could hurt their chances of a top four finish then he should go back this week. They've already dropped from 1st to 4th after one loss.
I don't like the idea of moving Tui back to fullback if he's to be in the halves mix for next year, it would erode his confidence when he clearly hasn't been the problem. Better that Tomkins come up to 6 to partner him and Fish gets a shot at the back again if he's not injured.
Konrad needs to go back to starting, Peyroux isn't fast enough on d at centre and looked completely shot by the end of the Cowboys game but does well in the middle coming off bench as a small back rower \ utility type player. It would be interesting to see how Kata would go on the wing as some have suggested already, it might deter him from trying to run through his opposition on attack, he's at his best when he uses a bit of footwork at the line.
Allwood to the wing for Maumalo makes sense. Wrights lack of speed shits me though, shame cos the rest of his game is good enough for a 1st grade winger. He's almost like a slower version of Pat Richards but one that can't kick and hardly ever scores tries.

The players who want to do well here pick themselves IMO... We just have to raise the standards so that the guys who stand out are the guys who will kick ass for the whole season, not just against the weak teams, once or twice a season...
Then its all about utilizing the huge talent pool of established players around the world better... How many duds have we signed lately.. Can't get that right either it seems...
Wasn't he the unfittest player of the lot during preseason? The very sort of player we all scream must go?
