News: Hohaia, Matulino ruled out for Warriors

Hopefully Stacey Jones doesn't come into the team for Hohaia. Im still having nightmares of his "last" game in the NRL against us in 05.

 

BK did everything possible to win that game for Manly

 

Gee, Parramatta did us a favour for once. Hohaia was a gun during the world cup and it's a huge advantage to us that he's out.

On paper you'd have to say we'd be specials for a win this week. I hope the forwards are up to the task as our backs need as much help as they can get.

 

On paper we should have won last weekend, hopefully the boys minds will be in a better place this week & those clowns with the whistle give us an even crack in the penalities

 

why is everyone acting like a loss in Round 1 is a big deal?
stop the hair pulling, the boys will get back on track this week, at home.

speaking of banning alcohol, i have thought of some better things to ban...
1. Delmerge from ever speaking to the media ever again.
2. Distribution of the Daily Telegraph
3. Playing Robo at FB.
4. Worrying about losing to last years wooden spooners.

 

I agree with Dailyterror.  We didn't play a trial under the two ref rule and in my humble opinion had difficulty coming to grips with it last Saturday.  Des, although a critic, will be thorough enough to get the lads up to speed.  What I would like to see is Matai making effective tackles, not coming out of the line, Robbo back at wing and Kite not coming in to be the third man in a tackle.  What Souths showed last weekend is that two in a tackle should be the go.  The Rorters poured men in and Souths took advantage of fatigue, their little guys ran them ragged.. 

 

Back onto Matai bashing DSM, you do make a good point aboit gang tackles though, surely it would have been good luck than good management for Souths to take adavantacge of it - Jason Taylor that ex Norths gimp isn't that smart

 

Souths have more coaches than a bus company.  Tallis might have come up with the tackling idea.  He looks and talks like an idiot, but I think there's probably a good footie brain inside his huge head.  On Matai, he went high on Idris for his first try and it was left to Ox to bring him down.  To hard a task.  Wheel, he constantly worries me and he showed himself up on Saturday.  (along with most of the team I admit)

 

He was coached by Wayne Bennett for the better part of a decade, and was pushed around the park by the likes of Lockyer, Walters and Langer. If he'd come out the other end of all that without absorbing a fair bit about the game, I'd be seriously worried.

 

If Wheel is playing on Sunday we have huge problems!!!!
