Can someone explain how Walker gets picked every week, plays a few minutes, gets injured, looks like he's going to be out for the season and the following week it's just a repeat?
Foran, Schuster, Walker = three 5/8ths.

Our forwards are carrying Walker in the hope that he actually does get a line break (I.e. before he himself breaks down!)

Warriors need his help now!
 
Keppie has been average lately so yes I hope so.
I had huge hopes at the beginning of the year... not as huge as @Woodsie but I was up there - but he has been plain terrible with the dropped balls - offside penalties including when he just ran on.... poor inside defence. He is not the only player who hasn't played well but he is consistent with his mistakes and lack of football smarts

"The dominant performance by barnstorming second-rower Haumole Olakau’atu..."

Always found this expression intriguing.
Seriously, has anyone ever stormed a barn? Why would you? To overthrow some chooks, or maybe ransack a bale of hay? I agree Haumole is very barnstorming but I still don't get it.

It’s a Groundhog Day thing. Every week he goes through a time portal back to when he didn’t have dodgy legs, only to re-injure himself next game.

He needs to go back and watch the film, to see how Bill Murray learnt from his mistakes.

He'll come good .. he has what can't be coached .. desire ... I'm still on him to become a legend.

The 2nd Warriors try was Bunty running through the gap that Keppie left open. His line defense and decision making is terrible.

He is a fabulous one on one defender - second only to Jake... but his head is in the clouds.. seriously he would be the kid in class watching the butterflies out the classroom window all day... his head is off with the fairies.... not that there is anything wrong with that!

I was curious so I googled "barnstorming" only to find it is a term originally used to describe aerial acrobatics!


"Barnstorming was a form of entertainment in which stunt pilots performed tricks—either individually or in groups called flying circuses. Devised to "impress people with the skill of pilots and the sturdiness of planes",[1] it became popular in the United States during the Roaring Twenties.[2]"

Some of the neo-fascist militias in the midwestern and western US states have formed teams of barnstormtroopers.

HAHA -mate thats hilarious and actually had me intrigued...so I looked it up

Barnstorming earned its name from the aerobatic pilots who would land their light planes in fields and use local barns as venues for their impromptu airshows. Paying spectators would gather to watch these daring pilots attempt a variety of dangerous tricks.

This game concerns me because we played poorly and beat the Tigers last time and the players may not get themselves into the right mind set. Whilst we were better last week but we lack week to week consistency. If the tigers are on its going to be a tough game.
