Apart from Scott Sorenson and Mitch Kenny our strongest team…whilst I have no complaints about Matt Eisenhuth hes reliable, has a good work ethic and lets no one down I dont think he makes an impact off the bench Id rather have him start and Moses come on after 20 minutes and create some havoc against a tiring defence. That said Moses 150th game this week he has to and desrves to start the game.
Looks like Soni Luke is out of favour I know a few on this forum were promoting Luke to starting hooker after Api left…thoughts now?
He reminds me alot of Wade Egan, he is a “look at me” when hes on the field and close to the line always looking for the big play.
Since Egan joined the Warriors, he seems to have become a team player and has gone ahead leaps and bounds. No doubt Soni has the quality, he just needs a bit more size and a smaller head…IMO
Those are interesting stats. Such a poor success rate over a period in which we had a phenomenally high overall rate suggests that we suffered poor refereeing decisions. Yet the penalties favoured us. So, a deeper dive into the stats might be interesting. For example, did Sutton give us penalties, but not 6-agains? Or what was the distribution of penalties with reference to what tackle in each set - penalties late in a set are such killers? Or did we receive a flurry of penalties after a match was already lost irretrievably, just to even up the books? Meanwhile I’ll rest comfortably in my belief that we have been screwed over the decades.
It would be interesting to look back & see which games he reffed for us. He has been around since 2009, and for the first half of his career we were pretty ordinary for the most part.
Unfortunately I don’t have the time or energy to go through the records at the moment.
I was expecting an arm wrestle, and that is what we have had so far.
Our defence is as good as ever, but we are clunky in attack, and have made some poor errors. If we do better with the ball in the second half we should win.
Our defence is good but they aren’t throwing much at us but we sure aren’t throwing much at them.
I think Nathan has love is in the air playing between his ears and he has some back up singers in Yeo and Turuva and sadly Sommerton might be a nice guy but he is as pedestrian you can get from a 9.
I saw Laurie in the sheds and i would like to see him sub for Luai whose defensive efforts are obviously a result of his shoulder and he looks flat.
we need some sparkle but again coming from my comments about the Wigan game, i just don’t know our points are going to come from.
Cleary has had the break to reset the boys…hope he has got their attention.
Storm are OK but we are terrible and we learnt nothing from the Wigan loss.
Cleary the Coach has either to train the hell out of them or tell them to go play golf.
For us not to score a point is the concern, forget about the 8 they scored, its the duck egg on our side which is alarming and we haven’t scored a point in 3 halves of footy when you include the Wigan game.
All teams will be up for playing us no matter how bad they are, they will want to beat the champions.
To me the biggest take away from the game is how much we missed Kenny at dummy half. We just didn’t have the direction we needed in the opposition 20, especially after Luke came on. The game was there for the taking, but we just couldn’t capitalise.
Further to this, I still question the decision to drop Peachey for Luke. What exactly did Luke provide that Peachey could not have done better.
Lukes defence was poor, leaving some gaping holes, and his attack was at times woeful, running out of dummy half in circles losing metres for no effect. He put os some kick that nobody was on the same page for.
