Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

@ said:
Please forgive me if I ramble on, am a little intoxicated and tho I've just got back from clubs can't sleep. Only reason I joined is because I'm feeling very deflated about my team right now and my boyfriend is a Warriors supporter and therefore is of no comfort. My heart is a little heavy and I feel so sad for the boys. I never expected such a strong start but because they exceeded everyone's expectations, it feels sooo disappointing right now. On the game, it was hard to watch them clearly struggle. But I think we were doomed prior to kick off with the team change. Thought Chee-Kam was superb. Lawrence going off then Nofoaluma's send off was the kick in guts for us. Refs were poor and while I love Benji, I wish he was more like a Peter Wallace type of player in using his maturity and experience to benefit team. By no means are we a team of stars, he should know our deficiencies and be playing suited to them. This was officially the first game I thought to myself , we miss Teddy. But Corey Thompson has been exceptional for us. I'm a Tui fan and actually hope he is rejoining the team in a couple of weeks if he is fully recovered from knee injury, another thing I wish us fans were informed about. As I thought he was out of flavour and not suffering from a recurring injury from round 1 (I think). I will be soooo glad to see Packer back and am wanting to see Josh Reynolds play now. Methinks Benji amongst others are fatigued. For those who say we've been found out, what exactly do you mean? Is it regarding the penalties or the team? I think this game showed we are well n truly in the rebuild stage and don't have an attacking style. There's the mixture of old (last year etc) and new, and tho Brooks and Benji played years ago they are even still learning to play together. Before I finish I've gotta say I love reading everyone's opinions and will continue to do so.

For a reason ..he is not the player he was…and highly doubt the NRL will register a contract ...they would have by now..
 
Fair dinkum,everyone is suggesting someone to be in the forwards,the backs and dummy half specialist…I don't care who wants who or who we need...we are in this space atm with who we have...this squad has to do the hard yards until we can get new personel...
Marty,Barba and everyone else mentioned wont be here next week,these players and the coach have to get the points on the board somehow,and with our injuries atm it will be tough...
chill and let Ivan do his work and hopefully his plans will come to fruition once we have our other players off the injury list and on the playing field,until then lets keep supporting the teams that get named...
as some have mentioned that our depth players may not be up to NRL yet so lets keep hoping Ivan can come up with something that helps relieve the pressure ...

OMG have only just seen my very first forum post, and must say all the genius thoughts I was having are nowhere to be seen. It looks so unintelligible and needed a paragraph or two.
In all seriousness though felt good to vent a little and I managed to sleep like a baby after it. Think I was driven to rant after the boyfriend commented how it was just a game. So at least I finally got to tell him how I really feel about the Warriors, who I have secretly hated since 2011.

Not sure what the protocol is, but everyone else on here seems very familiar with each other. So here goes. My name is Lauren, I'm 28 and currently live in Brisbane though hail from central NSW.
My love for the footy began with the Balmain Tigers, rewatching a helluva lot of old games with my late grandfather while recovering from a car accident. They got me through some very tough times.
When Wests Tigers were formed weirdly I loved them even more than the Balmain Tigers.
I only ever went to one game which was with my Pop and though I can honestly only remember a player (named Ben Jeffries) it is my best/favourite life memory thus far.

Today I feel more optimistic. I believe our strong start shows us what a great coach Cleary is and what the team are capable of. Plus we may have both Packer and McQueen in this week. And now after those losses we realistically see what we are lacking as a strong competitive team.
Players who have impressed me this year are Thompson and Lawrence. Liddle has too but his size worries me. I think that Brooks has been great on the development front and maybe the Origin drivel or Benji is messing him up. I'm not totally against Benji because up until the Knights game he was good for us, yet old Benji is creeping back in. I think Marsters and Chee-Kam are improving and I enjoy watching Twal and Aloiai. Before Packer's injury I loved both he and Matulino. Thought Matulino was fantastic in the Manly game.
So those are just a few of my thoughts.

Though I probably wont comment frequently, I cannot go without my daily dose of this forum and look forward to reading the good, the bad and the ugly.

Much easier to read, thanks. Only web place that I go to discuss footy, or any other thing for that matter as it has a wide variety that now includes you.

Yep my hate for the Warriors also began in 2011 and the Dragons the year before that.

Welcome to the forum.Many people disagree with each other after a loss but what we all want is a winning team and i think Ivan will give us that.It is a painful crawl from where we were when he took over but we will get there

Good point.

I come in here to read about potential signings not opinion pieces.
