Post Match [Round 17, 2021] Sharks vs Warriors Post Match Discussion

9 needs to be looked at. Egan is a tackle bot and doesnt offer enough attacking threats for the opposition.

 

[bruce]

I think the guys that Brown has shown faith in, the likes of Berry, Montoya, Curran, Walsh have all come in and played well and backed themselves.

Was that him or just good scouting by POS...or both?

 

[bruce]

We are sitting above: Tigers, Broncos & Bulldogs. I thought the Kearney era was tough to watch but this is getting there. Painful.

IMO it is different to SK. He was boring and showing no improvement, just the opposite.

For some reason the recruitment is 100% better, and most of the time they actually look reasonable

 

[Raw Power]

Alright I've had something to eat after a skinful... I have gathered my thoughts about the game...
NAH... Still not acceptable and Not Good Enough!

 

[rugged]

don't get the hate for Kodi...again. he made 18 tackles and only missed 1 and 1 ineffective. That would have been the try on the line which wasn't his fault, that

He is supposed to be a running half. Ran for less meters than every other back. Was the only back not to break a tackle.. Was alongside Adam Pompey as the only Warriors player not to get tackled once in the game. No try assists, no line break assists. Had some rubbish kicks. Gave away 2 penalties and made 1 error.

Yeah it’s different and yes recruiting is better but we still aren’t winning. 5 losses in a row doesn’t say improvement. At a loss for words it just fucking sucks.

I expected more but injuries got the better of us this season. In hindsight which I refused to believe, the split pre-season didn’t help either. Only positive I’ll take is a few players due to start in 2022 got to play this season and to build new combos giving us a head start on the pre-season. Not sure blaming the coach is helpful at this stage

 

[hoolioh]

Somebody already mentioned but its the clear lack of leadership thats killing us. Roger offers something (although not enough ) but cant do f all from wing.
Why were we running one out from our own try line with less than 10 to go?
We need some guys who can think on their feet an drag some of these dummies with them.
So frustrating watching this frail lot at the moment. Somebody stand up!

Disappointed they couldn’t get up for Brown after losing his brother last week and probably a very tough week with restrictions over there for him regarding the funeral etc. There’s a good team in there, just not quite yet. Shaun Johnson is going to make such a difference, like great halves, he’s a coach on the field, like a one armed Cronk in the final. Josh Hannay isn’t a great coach, it’s Shaun Johnson that has them winning. Egan just can’t go to that next level and stay there. Montoya impressive week after week. Nikorima looking like he’s left the club already.

Tohu Harris missing was also huge.

I'm happy to stop being a Nathan Brown fan if the Nathan Brown non-fans can give me a realistic alternative as coach. Is it worth having a chat with Shane Flanagan?

Literally anyone would be better than brown. Trent barrett has better record than Brown in the last 5 years.

We could blood in a new unproven coach and have a better chance at success. Take Steve Mcnamara from super league. Walker Brothers. Didn't bellamy go off contract? What's bennett doing next year?

Wayne Bennett doesn't have a club next year..I know, I know, more chance of me waking up next to Beyonce than Bennett coming but surely nothing wrong with a friendly chat.. Flanagan if he doesn't bring his son

Didn't you know? His running game will appear next year when Shaun Johnson comes

 

[Rick O'Shay]

Can't blame the refs with this one... totally self destruction... Coaching is to blame... you can tell the way that new players come into the squad and perform well and then fade.... It's a worry!

You wanna explain that a bit more? Is it like the coach says give it shit for 10 mins then fuck around for the rest of your stint.
I'm sure that every player that steps onto the paddock for the Warriors actually wants to win.

Warriors: Round 17

Nathan Brown chats to the media after his team's Round 17 game against the Sharks

[Rick O'Shay]

We were beaten by a very very average looking team on paper

last week also against the dragons

week before against the knights

week before before against the cows

someone smells rotten in the State of Denmark…

Should be "Something" and yes MacBeth is probably a reasonable simile to the Warriors although Richard III might be better
"Now is the winter of our discontent"

 

[Rick O'Shay]

Close is not good enough, we've lost 11 games. That don't happen by luck or fluke, Brownie said it himself. They are just not up to it

Coaching isn't just tactics, it's man management and building mental toughness. Man management is getting the best out of your players and it's clear as day that's not happening under Brownie

Sorry mate. Mental toughness is inherent. You either have it or you don't.

POS and the Mohawk are gradually weeding out the losers in our system. Bit of a way to go but I can see where they are heading.

Mental strength is a skill mate. It can be trained. Sorry champ

We had McNamara but he wanted/had to go home. Bellamy's not off contract and Bennett is a has been. Has Barrett been coaching for 5 years?

Face facts (In fact where is he?) getting another coach at this point in time is totally counterproductive.

You are right. It is a skill therefore inherent. It can be enhanced but as I said you have it or don't.......... Champ

My bad, blame the wine. Innate was the word I was looking for. You can't train something that isn't there.
