LIVE GAME Live Game Thread v Warriors *Spoilers*

[clokan]

Know the game much ?!? Huh ??? What moves did they put on? Why do they all go sideways ? Why do they always stand flat footed ??? Why 5 Captains ??? All you must know is Madge by the sound of it !!! FFS ! 🤯

I was commentinhg on what you said, and I quote "The most poorly drilled and coached team I have ever seen in the NRL??? In 40 years !!" If you believed that, and you probably don't, you haven't watched much football.

I'm not saying Madge is a great coach, I'm saying he did enough for them to win, the player,'s stuffed it up, Laurie in particular, if he caught the grubber from Brooks, we likely win, not to mention Luc's no try

I vowed last year not to attend another WT game while Brooks is halfback. Might have to add Laurie at fullback to that list, and Nofa at wing, and Madge as coach, and …. Forget it I will watch AFL instead.

Wooden spoon written all over this squad. Expected bottom 4 but yikes it's bad. Don't think the injured can save us from it

I’ve been railing against the spoon calls but seriously, our competition for it just beat us. Seems inevitable and it is thoroughly deserved.

One error. He has a go. Unlike fan fave plodder deluxe Twal. Absolute flog. Seyfarth, WTF?

You can’t come off the bench fresh and do that in back to back weeks. It’s unacceptable. He’s a big unit who plays small.

 

[Demps]

Warriors are so bad.

And we couldn't even win that.

In for a bad year.

We don't have the best team in the NRL, but doing the basics well, playing for your team mates and playing with enthusiasm will narrow the gap against even the best sides, I would accept losses if our team demonstrated these qualities. Now this is the fourth year of this standard of play. There must come a time when the cost to the club in terms of its status must outweigh the cost of paying out the coach. We must be near that point.

Don’t do it man, AFL is bottom of the barrel.
Your friends and family will desert you…

How do you perceive the clubs status?

Madge should get in front of this and quit tonight. He can tell everyone that he tried to polish a turd but I'm gone. Adios.

Mate you cannot polish a turd You can only roll it in glitter everyone knows that and we need alot of glitter

 

[Bones]

Me?

I'm blaming a lot more than one person, chief.

Yours was just the last post in a long line of Brooks haters that I happened to quote. The bloke busted his arse tonight. He would have got us home too if it weren’t for a few others.

Simpkin and Laurie cost us big time in the last 15. Honestly Laurie would be gone next week if there’s anyone else available. I’d play Tamou at fullback ahead of him.

 

[stryker 69]

Not to mention his other short kick that Lucy surely grounded.

Along with Madden fluffing a two man overlap and Simpkin ruining sets on their 12 player line, very costly and each reasons for the loss.

You blaming the kids? open your eyes

Brooks didn't even break a sweat tonight.
Barely had any screen time in the second half.

Agree with the rest though.
Laurie was awful tonight.

We had no direction from dummy half with Liddle off.

Big question marks across the team.

 

[StarswithStripes]

Literally everyone around him goes to crap and it’s still his fault. Individuals need to own their performance. Laurie and Musgrove. Blew that.

Yeah don’t disagree but he doesn’t help those around him with his lack of vision.

 

[Bigscreentv]

If Brooks is in the team when Hastings come back we will lose Madden.

Toa to stay in first grade. I think he should play fullback.

Garner defended better at centre than Roberts ever has.

Imagine when Gildhart forms a combination with a winger that knows the flick I'd coming.

I know we didn't finish them off, but given the injuries, given the refs, given Laurie I thought it was ok.

Please. He's better than Twal, Seyfarth, probably Stefano tonight. You can't put this on blokes having a go. Take a look at Laurie, Simpkin, as much as I hate to say it, Brooks....every time we lose some people just launch into their favourite punching bags rather than having a fair dinkum look at what actually happened.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Simpkin isn't first grade standard.
When Liddle came off we turned to mud.

That’s quite the turnaround from where you were in the off season

I think the issues most have with Brooks is his ability to control and lead this team around the park when it matters. He's been playing first grade for such a long time now and he just hasn't got it in him to lead the team like a half should.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I don't actually get up Brooks but jeez for your halfback to go missing and not direct those sets on there line was terrible. He needed to organise every play but it was just one out no idea rubbish.

He was robbed of two try assists. If Laurie could catch, that try could have turned the game

 

[Demps]

Just call it how I see it.

That's how it went down tonight.

Very much more mismanagement from the bench / rotations.

Api will be very impactful for us.

Liddle doesn't have a contract after this season
Simpkin does

I'd love to see Tannous become our 9 , Damien Cook like and Rua our 14/13 Cheese like.

My loyalty is to the team.

When the consistent performance of the team is so poor that good judges and supporters come to expect this as the typical standard, I believe questions need to be asked about the culture, the coaching, rapport with players etc. The Board needs to take the rap because it failed us last season when it had the opportunity to act.
