Timing for Warriors to start off against a easy shit team to guarantee the win first game at Mt Smart...

James Garner/Jim Rockford maybe. Our garner couldn't bodyguard himself.

That one's for the old folk.

Might even give them an emotional boost this round.

Playing for the "Disappointment cup”

Kyle Flanagan, Ash Taylor, Townsend, Hunt? You think they are much better?

Taylor, maybe: probably in the same boat but at least he moved away
Townsend, yes
Hunt, Brooks is not even in the same league
Kyle Flanagan, too early to tell but again club was smart enough to cut its losses early, both dogs and roosters

It might be the reality, but IMO he'd have to be completely awful for three games in a row to justify being dropped.

OK but we all know unless he plays out of his skin, he'll be dropped as soon as Hastings is back.

I just named a quarter of the halfbacks in the comp. There are a lot of average halfbacks out there. And no, not defending Brooks, not even saying criticism is unwarranted, BUT I do believe the people that are most vocal about him live inside a bubble and don’t really pay attention to these others. The halfback stocks are as shallow as a baby pool

Kyle Flanagan and Taylor aren't first choice halfbacks for their teams.

split the team in 4,ok u lot target that player all game,and so on for each section,when we big boys,flatten ya oppisite number every chance

Looked pretty hot up at newy and we came out flat. Sometimes playing the top sides like Melb knocks teams around. I think we lack cohesion more so than fitness. Doesn’t help losing Hastings!

We have held two teams under 30 points. Commitment in defence is better than last year. There’s the one I could find lol

Yea it was. The effort in d for first half was good .it's finding that extra effort in when the chips are down .sometimes u need those couple of special players in your side that make the 3 tackles in a row or the extra hit up in a set . We need those couple of players to set a different mentality .on or off the field .
Still alot of games to go

I forget who took the first two hit ups in the game, they were okay. Then Joffa walked up half hearted and got driven back . Brooks off no momentum then kicked long straight down the fullback’s throat. Ken as captain then attacked a ball that he didn’t need to go near. Laurie then looked sheepish on their try, when last year he would have attacked it. It’s a combination of effort and smarts we lack every week.

Despite all my negativity towards the team and club to start the season, I’m really excited for Madden to get a start.

It will at least be interesting to see if he’s improved since last year and hopefully he shows that he can be a long term solution in the halves.

Why? People forget he got a start in the last couple of games last year and did not show much chop.

He's just giving an opinion. His quote 'be interesting to see if he’s improved since last year and hopefully he shows that he can be a long term solution in the halves'
So your saying something he already knows.
Personally the experiment hasn't come at at good time for him. He's [madden] going to be in a team lacking confidence and direction.
If he did play and the team rallied around him and performed then everyone is a winner.

I don’t disagree there. I thought he was a bit of a passenger but I don’t expect a player with no first grade experience, playing in the halves to come in and set the world on fire.

I expect to see gradual improvement though so that’s why I’m interested and excited to see him play - to assess whether he’s improved and gotten better.
