    Desperate times call for desperate measures I suppose. The Worriers are once again at the foot of the table showcasing another under performing New Zealand team. The Worriers should watch footage of prime Frans Botha in order the inspire themselves to great performances as he is the polar opposite of the Worriers players.

      Also, given who Manly have out, we're a decent shout of going back to back this weekend.

          sadly, that's the more likely outcome...

              @South-Africa-Man I think this is the only Botha that could get a rise out of an NZ league player

                  Think i need to apologise to whoever said the Panthers were good, and i rubbished him. They are flying.

                  I can't believe the Warriors are winning games. Payton definitely putting himself in the frame for a gig somewhere.

                  Payton is in play for the Warriors gig

                    Yeah read that. And apparently the Warriors turned down the Walkers, who were dead keen. Anyone got matches, we have another dumpster fire to light!

                      I'm pretty stunned.

                      Smart move Todd. Take the cowboys gig

                      We're fucked.

                          The really cynical part of me says, if Todd really wanted the job, the other stuff would have been worked around.

                          This same cynical part says Todd has been inside the club, knows the atmosphere, knows how the owners and management works, knows the roster, and has said "yeah nah, fuck that"

                                Huh? He's been a mixture of actively shit (pretty much all of last year) and occasionally really good (the match where after the boss told him he was out). I thought we needed a player like him when he was signed but he was past his best.

                                      @Nogusta if you mean consistently inconsistent then yes he's one of our most consistent.

                                      Frankly Green's kicking game was mostly very average. His running game was ineffective and his playmaking was level: journeyman.

                                      Good guy but not going to miss his horrible fifth tackle options or following a good game with 3 bad ones.

                                        As others have mentioned Green has been mainly poor with some okay to good moments.

                                        I hate when we go to him on the last. His short and (not so) long kicking game is very bad.

                                        Also on RTS, he’s had an up and down year by his standards. Quite a few errors this season.

                                        From my armchair I reckon Harris and Maumalo have been our best

                                          Sheesh, the Warriors are going to get hammered this weekend. Player leaving midweek, coach tells them he'd rather coach another poor team.

                                          Well, I don't really want to break my annual watch the Warriors lose live in Sydney so it's not too much of an issue. Also, finally after 5 years here Manly haven't taken the game on the road so I get to go to Brookvale (luckily my mate is a Manly member).
