No i fullback doesn’t want to do that.

Kennedy is actually a Greg ordinary player. Apart from being good under the high ball and can catch and pass he’s pretty ****.
He's not at his best but being safe at the back and being able to catch/ pass are still very good attributes.

He just needs to hang around the middle more.

Sloppy win but two points we desperately needed. Against anyone else but the Warriors it would have been much closer.

A few things irked me about this game.

1. I truly don’t understand why we give away stupid penalties when we have the other team pinned in their ten. We did it at least twice tonight, could have been a third time as well. Really have to fix that.

2. Ball control is still a worry. There’s at least half a dozen players where my hearts in my mouth when they have the ball.

3. Too often we are getting pushed back in tackles. Quite a few times we lost 10 metres or more from this.

4. Defensively we were ok tonight but there’s still way too many missed tackles. Needs to be much tighter if we’re too be top 4

The good bits tonight were our wingers capitalising on their chances and our halves (especially Moylan) providing the link and getting us moving forward.

McInnes was excellent and so was Wilton but the rest of the pack were underwhelming. Nikora runs hard and is direct and he even has a strong tackle in him but he still has me closing my eyes when he gets the ball.

Anyway we’re now 6th and with games against Titans and Bulldogs coming up we SHOULD consolidate this. We desperately need no more injuries and Dale and BHU back.

Well said. Your first point irks me no end.

4. Too many missed tackles. To be fair, 22 missed from 341 is pretty good...despite that, our defence at times does appear to be rather "loose"

If you took away posts relating to points, sometimes you wouldn't know if we won or loss!

Yeah mate the percentage may be low at the end but it’s ones you see that could easily be done that frustrate me.

I disagree on nikora, i thought he ran tough lines and landed on his belly which created space on the next play. I keep bloody putting him as anytime tryscorer on my multis though. Hes cost me a fortune…

I know what you mean but I'd give him 5 stars, not 4.

1 was shocking, pissed me off too. Has been a bad year for it. I’d be interested to see a set of clips showing the ones we were offside vs some of their faster efforts against us at the other end…

3 another one that caught my attention. We seemed to be pushed around quite a bit but failed to push them around much. Dale and Braden would help but we did seem to give up some leg drive to them overall.

Mate , was our hardest running forward .
IF he didn't make a few BAD mistakes late in the game he'd be in our top 5 today
Love top 5 players :)
He took some very tough runs and was always looking to take the hard tackles. Without him we'd be softer.

Eitherway, we really have to do something about our general discipline & starts. I was vey disappointed by that start again but then I thought if we started to stop giving away so many easy chances we'd get through their line easy enough. Maybe it would be good if we could get over closer to the posts making the kicks a bit easier.

I hope the boys start to realise that if they watch the extended highlights or the full game again. We can get through these next few games easy enough if we work on our early starts & discipline.

Have to admit i didnt watch last nights game as i walked off into my man cave at.12-0.
My in laws are over from NZ and are stoic Warriors fans and to avoid arguments (which has happened before) i walked away rather than getting riled up.
Funnily enough they walked off when the gane was done and went to bed...and theyre still there now haha
