Ed's shown some good signs, just needs to learn to read the game, I wouldn't send the kid back to the Warehouse after 4 games when he should be learning his trade in reserve grade.

Are you like me and that is when you feel like its an ok to duck off to the fridge or bathroom cause its likely nothing exciting is going to happen.
Those halves.....woof!
Good pack considering no Tohu Harris
How our centres match up to theirs will be very interesting.

Still think Marcelo is a better winger than centre.
Question for anyone that may know. Since kodi took up his player option for next year, is the ball now in the warriors court as to weather they will grant him a release next year?
If so hopefully management have had a talk to him that we're happy to release you early but you better put your heart into it this year and it will do good for your potential next contract. Pisses me off seeing a non interested kodi on the field when I've seen what he's capable of.
Him and Chad would've been a decent combo, hopefully we still get to see it.

defensively hes probably the best centre we have. Has decent enough speed. Not the ideal skillset for a centre but its what we need until berry developes a bit more

Yes, assuming there are no other special terms and conditions around the extension, if he wants a release the club needs to agree. If he flat out refuses to go to NZ he can be forced to sit out the year and sued, although practically that doesn’t happen.
jsmooove
hahahaha not so much. but this sums up my reaction every time a play dies with him or he thinks he is reece walsh and can take the line on and bamboozle defenders
WarriorDave
Just a shame he's Kata 2.0 with blinkers on and can't throw a pass to his unmarked man on the outside
Worried2Death
Not terrible, just has no speed when he breaks the line, you want that in an elite centre. Looks like he could lose a few kg's, then again fatty Latrell makes them all look fools so who knows.

In Andy we (have to) trust

And seems to like doing a hop step & a jump as he approaches the defensive line
See not alot of people in this forum get this, but most players in the nrl are what you just discribed. Very few are game breakers.
Pompey is a decent centre atm, and has room to grow imo. I was thinking he would be quite a good player when he was stringing together good performances earier in the season but from what ive seen of him lately he seems to have regressed and may be closer to his ceiling as opposed to his floor. My main gripe with him is his ability to impersonate a poor mans solomone kata, black holes that suck balls in and never let them out via passing.
The thing is pompey has the ability to pass really well, his tip on to kosi was further evidence of it but almost every time he touches the ball he tucks it under his arm and throws out a fend or goes in for a hit up.

Good to see the Warriors return to the preseason plan of pounding sides to death.
They have a very small back row this week, So I think they have done the right thing in putting the Panzer division on the bench.
By the time Addin Fonua-Blake and Lodge have finished thumping the Sharks at the outset, those bigger boys we have courtesy of using three props will have impact.
Bout time we went out there to intimidate.
Picking Ben Murdoch-Masila will have a much bigger contribution due to that configuration.
I imagine in the sheds before kick off, that our gang of up front thugs will be puffing out their chests and lifting their shoulders knowing that is the biggest Warriors bench since the Anderson era and definitely the fittest biggest up front combo this club has ever seen.
Love it Brown, stick with it mate, smash some dudes over.
Biggest news is the possible return of Walsh and Kodi obviously, that could save our arses. Hope Sean O'Sullivan has a blinder with his very limited tool box.
Clearly, if we want to win, we have to keep possession so that the big dude factory gets fed and the sharks have to take it.
I get what you mean by these two playing for a spot, because this is true of every game, however I cannot see how Berry is ahead of Montoya based on Montoyas form this season.
And I really really like Berry and think he is the heir apparent, just not now at the expense of Montoya.
Shame they had to split the two ex Bulldogs edge. They are tight.
However it is the right decision, to play Berry next to a specialist defensive Winger...rather than next to Roger.
Hope Egan stays fit, he will roll the thunder down town, shock and awe.
Hope Kodi and Sean O'Sullivan snag a few repeat sets in the in goal to really kill these guys with punch.
Hoping for a lot I know.
But that is the way of the Warrior.

Great interview, some good insight into the club imo.
Sheck Montoya Dallin Watene-Zelezniak Addin Fonua-Blake all didn't train Monday
Chad and Tohu Harris responding well to treatment maybe back quicker than 4 weeks

Hodges is a good motivator, could sell sand in the desert.
Our big advantage is losing and thereby learning lessons other sides aren't learning due to losing.
Lodge has identified our problem, we keep losing in the last 5 minutes, make him captain.
Half the team didn't train but the 9 day turnaround should help.
We haven't given up, being 12th is exciting for the team.
All part of the plan to emulate Canberra's premiership window.
Good patter Craig, pull the other one.

Exactly no use beating his man then getting run down within 5 mtrs by the man he beat. He needs to create more
