Last years result is becoming such a tragedy. Hunt needs sports hypnosis

Terrible game. The Warriors knew if they played it at such a frenetic pace, we couldn't keep up. And did we capitulate or what?! The refereeing put us on the back foot quickly (4 penalties in like 7 minutes), but we gave up. Pure and simple. Reed and Maranta were awful. Just awful.

Unless there are some dramatic changes and fairly quickly you can start thinking about sticking a fork in us.

So I am going to focus on some of the positives that came out of this match.

- Milford I thought was great today but had little opportunity or help
- Boyd again showed what a class fullback he is, even when he has to back up
- Tevita Pangai Jr is a beast and I think needs to stay in the team, he is the perfect impact forward and better suited to a bench role than Ofahengaue
- Kahu is definitely one of my favourite players, so tough and skilful and never gives up

 

[Rhys van Beurden]

Also, just saw the Offa did not make a single run. Wow.

Is Kahu immune from criticism this week just because Maranta and Reed were worse? I swear Kahu and Boyd swapped skills in the pre-season. He looks like Jack Reed when he returns the ball, only slower.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Someone definitely needs to site down and have a talk with Hunt.

 

[Pushkin]

That's game was very disappointed. Boyd, Kahu, Wallace, Tevita pangi Jr played good game. Everyone else played bad. So which player gone drop next week?

 

[lynx000]

And that should be it for Maranta, he should not grace our jersey again. He can take Reed with him as well.

Henry P flogged us which compounded our ordinary start then Lachy reached back 3 years and produced a possibly career ending game (NRL).

If we get 1 of those no tries before halftime things may have been different.

I would still like to know how we play the Warriors twice but get scheduled the home game when we have all our players but get the away game after origin with all the travel/recovery issues. Surely they should be switched, maybe that is too simplistic but it seems obvious.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Wallace is getting better and better every week, consistently makes good metres and is making a lot of quality tackles.

wayne screwed up big time tonight. playing moose at 9 was an amatuer decision. we lost all punch through the middle.
maranta and reed = dog meat!!!
kahu was solid/good with limited opportunities.
roberts is lost and looks like he is struggling playing structured footy. big concern!!!
milf and hunt tried but not one of their better games. its hard to play well when your pack gets beaten like we did.
blair was his usual self, limited impact overall.
the origin boys tried hard but were prob flat.
gillett was a big out!!!
offa got schooled tonight in the middle. he couldnt go with the power of the warriors pack. he is super fit and will run all day but his defense or lack their of for using his shoulder was evident tonight. he gets bent over to easily. wallace and nikorima were so so...
tpj and ese'ese were 2 of our better players with only limited minutes. these 2 lads showed that if you take the ball up with a bit of gusto and use some footwork you will cause the defense some headaches.

 

[Morkel]

At least I'm 2/2 with tipping.

What? He was like our best player..

What the hell! 2016 is gone an i dont understand what has happen. This past month something is seriously wrong. 1. Why the hell do Reed an Lachie keep getting selected by Bennett! Its like there hes favorite sons! 2. Our defense has gone to shit, again, why? Third : Milf an Hunt have gone downhill in there performances, they were wonderfl last year but this year look so awkward together. Finally, why did we buy Jimmee if we dont use him?!

Solution - Jimmee to left centre, Jorden to right centre, Seve to join Oatsie on the wings. Reed an Lachie can go **** themselfs !

 

[Foordy]

Anyone wanna join me on the **** Reed off train ... Plenty of room

 

[Danoz Direct]

What does everyone thing of Tevita Pangai Jr after seeing him in two first grade games?
