Gameday < 2021 Warriors vs Storm Gameday Chatter [Round 2, 2017]

[wallacenz]

Storm dominated the Warriors on defence this game, they shut down everything, and there were always 3 men in every tackle getting up in the Warriors face and driving the Warriors back

 

[Brother Faisal]

86 % completion doesn't mean jack if you can't do anything with the ball

 

[Tragic]

well we aren't that far off being able to compete with them. Need a decent prop, how come you guys never thought of that?

 

[GK1]

Warriors style of play is now just so boring to watch. Haven't got the forwards to play like this

 

[koolkat]

Watch real team now

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Our attack is utter rubbish...

 

[david95]

Two sets of six inside their 30m. Barely a single attacking threat amongst it. I can handle the slow play the ball, it's wet and we're playing Melbourne, but our halves need to go to the line. One coughed up ball from Shaun Johnson later, and it's curtains.

 

[Afakasi247]

Erin Clark opened that gap. Not a true reflection of our overall defensive effort today.

What SK needs to figure out is not so much our "star" players, but the roles of those around them.

Because that's 2 weeks in a row we've lost a key cog in the system and turned to shit.

Unacceptable when you see a team like the Storm who can literally have anyone walk in and perform. The Spurs of the NRL.

 

[Trugoy]

So honestly, what real change has there been between 2016 and this year with a new coach?

Kata's man bun is longer

 

[shuffle]

They don't have the mentality like the Storm and The Cowboys etc.. also they don't have the wrestle like Melbourne have.. frustrating to watch.. Lolohea and Gubb to be dropped..

 

[MarkW]

Storm sure are good at slowing the PTB down and not get penalised.

 

[Tragic]

luke been absennt

 

[Rizzah]

Going to take Kearny a few seasons to get anything out of this team.
Fuck that was a tough watch.

 

[Magic Stick]

Cameron Smith was the difference tonight, the way he controls the ruck, looking right and left and jumps out of dummy half everytime only a few steps but it makes all the difference and brings his guys on to the ball is pure class

Luke has been a dud buy, i thought tonight he might finally show his worth, but nah

 

[gpred]

Looks like another joke season lads. As always, hope for the best but prepare for the worst. If apparently one of the best attacking sides on paper that we have ever had can't score more that two tries, we are screwed.

Recipe for a premiership is as simple as it has ever been. Everyone just play as hard as Mannering. Simple.

 

[Tragic]

bring back bluey

 

[BiggerD]

Warriors don't come good till Origin time
They need time to gel

 

[ryno]

Storm sure are good at slowing the PTB down and not get penalised.

Probably cause they dominated us like little girls in the tackle.

They put us on our back, take their time, defensive line resets, rushes up on the next tackle. Rinse and repeat.

We probably needed some second phase play but hard to do in that weather.

 

[Afakasi247]

So honestly, what real change has there been between 2016 and this year with a new coach?

The difference has to be the fallout.

Last year Cappy rode this shit show.

Kearney has to drop the hammer and deal to underperforming players, replace complacent players with depth players knocking on the door.

Send the msg that this shit can't be accepted anymore.
