Round 5 Team v Warriors

[007]

[QUOTE=elo;188943]Taka looked our only dangerous forward and he goes, LOL@BWIAN.[/QUOTE]

Yep - a 40 point thrashing and he makes one change. Takes the one shining light (although I thought Cordner did OK last week) out and keeps the same brilliant attacking creative side which obviously has pace to burn. FFS Brain dead - take a chance and play some kids instead, what have you got to lose? Tagive, Rokolati, RTS, Moga (if fit), Mortimer at 6 (for the rest of the season), Henry, Bosden even Ailaomai.

Warriors by plenty.

Smith is a ****ing retard and needs to be sacked immediately.

Aubusson is unquestionably our best player. His preferred position is right side 2nd row. He should not be moved to left centre to accommodate a ****ing hack ranga who has not done a thing in first grade since his debut game.

The only time we've looked dangeroius ALL YEAR is the brief times our inept halves have actually given Maubs some early ball down the right edge. Against souths he set up the winning try. Against the Raiders he did the same thing combining with SKD.

Playing Aubusson at left centre is worse than playing Anasta at fullback.

Warriors: Kevin Locke, Bill Tupou, Ben Henry, Jerome Ropati, Manu Vatuvei, James Maloney, Shaun Johnson, Sione Lousi, Nathan Friend, Ben Matulino, Feleti Mateo, Simon Mannering (c), Elijah Taylor. Interchange: Russell Packer, Ukuma Ta’ai, Lewis Brown, Sam Rapira, Glen Fisiiahi, Konrad Hurrell

I'm one of the most optimistic of supporters, but I simply can't believe we can't put a better balanced side on the park than this. If Taka doesn't offer us more than Arona or Masoe on current form then I must be deaf dumb & blind.

Can't wait to see the shite Anasta dishes up trying to out-do Maloney and protect his position for next year. Last weeks 40 point drubbing might not look so bad come Saturday night.

"Oh the pain!!"

I've had enough of smith.

He is a joke and the joke is on our club.

[bondi-boy]

It's an experienced team.

This is another make or break match...and a home game.

Lose this...and if not because of incompetent or seemingly-biased refereeing, then the team must change...as we'll only be making up the numbers for the rest of the season and practising for next year.

Moga, Bosden, Taka, Mortimer and anyone else who went ok in the trails must be given a chance.

Anyone here attend training sessions?
Does the team ever practise passing the ball from one side of the field to the other in attack? and without dropping it.

Brian smith you make me want to kill myself. Surely Takas has to play and aubo must play in the farking 2nd row. Morts should get at least 30 mins.

Smith is just asking to be sacked.

[Guest]

That'll do me.

I was already leaning to it and now I am convinced.

Smith does not have a clue. Cogburn, Fred and co. may be negative but they are spot on. The guy is a moron.

Fuuck him off. (FOBS?)

Just to correct you slightly there mate. I like Cogburn's posts but he hasn't been very critical of smith until the last couple of weeks. He has spent most of his time giving it to every second player that we have and he has allowed smith to go largely uncriticised from his end apart from the last few weeks. I still haven't read him really give it to smith.

Anasta will play backrow this week. You read it here first

And what do you know...

Ben Henry, Konrad Hurrell, Elijah Taylor... young, enthusiastic and good footy players getting a crack at first grade, while we pick garbage over our youth.

Part of me hopes they put seventy past us.

Fair enough mate. The point stands though - those who bagged him on here and copped it for being negative were spot on. He is, brutally simply, a shit coach.

I admit that I really hoped you would be wrong about Smith. You weren't. He must go.

Unless it's in a Newtown jumper it won't change anything.

The team's worst player is the captain. We are an embarassment.

[dj_sta]

Does anyone know what the Newtown team is for this weekend?

[Renman]

Only one change ....

Anthony Minichiello
Joseph 'BJ' Leilua
Mitchell Aubusson
Shaun Kenny-Dowall
Sam Perrett
Braith Anasta (c)
Mitchell Pearce
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
Jake Friend
Martin Kennedy
Boyd Cordner
Tom Symonds
Frank Paul Nuuausala

Lama Tasi
Tinirau Arona
Daniel Mortimer
Mose Masoe

What did Taka do wrong? God help us.

Taka varied from the game plan and suffered the consequences. He broke the three top rules by being creative, running at the line and throwing good passes. A few weeks in Newtown will get that out of his game. Of course he also made the major mistake of looking like a better 5/8th than Anastaism. ( Greek word with the meaning of try hard but let down by ability)

What would be the point? Our game plan is ad lib remember, so basically just throw it, hopefully catch it and run head first in to a brick wall.

Gee I wish the Roosters were my employer....play like crap every week and still get picked.

[bondi-boy]

Warriors have whole country to pick juniors from...RL and RU...plus Australia.

Warriors are beatable...if we get physical with them, then run them around in circles, they tire.
