And in a continuation of my "why the fuck does Wayne Bennett still get jobs" campaign

With a fucking good roster, he has the Bunnies at a super impressive 3-4.

Those wins? Us, the Gold Coast, and Cronulla. 3 of the probably bottom four.

And then the surly old bastard comes out for an 88-word, 80-second press conference.

"Super Coach" my ass

[Dice]

The Warriors paying so much for Kearney is just so Warriors.

so between $50,000 and $62,500 per win achieved, just to not coach us any more.

I need to suck at my job harder

They're paying him somewhere around $800K per year? To do a job with, to be very harsh, a minuscule chance of success? Toughest part of the job is fronting up once a week to explain why you suck at your job and the cliched scripts for that are readily available.

No wonder Geoff Toovey has put put his hand up (though it might be better described as hand out) for the job.

$800K? Come on! That's ridiculous!

Time to get an up and coming coach. These guys are overpaid and underdeliver. Ivan didn't have first team experience before he came to us did he? These Walker brothers, or someone like them, are the go. Hungry, will do more with less, and cheaper

[ACT Crusader]

First 50/50 call goes against the Warriors.

I thought he still had a finger on it.

Ambitious run down the left from the Storm and we get em.

[ACT Crusader]

Exposed when RTS comes into the line as a 5th tackle playmaker.

[raznomore]

Warriors look good but the kicking option to go high is not the one

[ACT Crusader]

Hiku seemed to be in no mans land there. Easy overlap

Poor coaching.

Too early?

[Donsteppa]

Warriors roster playing exactly as described by @mariner4life. They’ll need a ‘sacked coach bounce back’ to avoid conceeding 50 at this rate.

[Gunner]

I wish they’d put super rugby on Friday nights, then I wouldn’t be forced to choose between watching the Warriors or putting razor blades under my eye lids.

[kev]

What do you say about that performance. Lots of effort In first 20 but no points. Then followed by the Warriors we know.

[Donsteppa]

The Warriors right hand side couldn't score in a brothel.

[kev]

They look lost on defence.

[Donsteppa]

Even RTS is having a mare with his positioning on that last try.

[kev]

The good thing about this for any new coach is that you start with a blank page.

[Donsteppa]

Melbourne finish the day at 50/6.

If only it was blank, because the page I see has poo all over it.

I’m hopeful for the new coach, but we need some leadership in the forwards. Someone that has some grit and edge to them. We have talent but when you look at how we’ve got success out of young talented forwards in the past is because we had guys like Price, Campion, Wiki, Luck that did the little things well and consistently.

At one stage midway thru the second half warriors had 64 % possession, more territory, and storm only had 13 fit players left , no bench .

They look lost with what to do
