Egan with a classic dummy half pass….
He is so shit. Some very ordinary Aussies in this Warriors team.
A tremendous irony given NZ supplies a disproportionate amount of players to the NRL.

I've been ranting like a gullah about the Australianising of the Warriors recently.

That's an absolute disgrace and Brown would be within hi rights to sack every single player
We'll win nothing with Egan at 9. Nothing.

It doesn’t seem to matter who plays for them.
Players go to the Storm and become winners. The opposite applies for the Warriors.

There’s a limit to how many ways you can say “useless”, but the Warriors seem determined to test that limit every season…

Let’s be honest fullas, we all knew it was coming in that second half. A ‘spine’ that is spineless except at fullback, but he can’t do everything, every week.
A simple one on one defensive pattern would’ve stopped that last Dragons try but hey, we found a way to let them stroll in

@nepia I've always hated Manly, even when they had a few Kiwis in their team in the 1990s.
Oh they were my favourite team for a while back then because of their Kiwi players. Couldn't support them now though. My mate does as he's lived a good chunk of his adulthood in Manly and lives above Brookvale.
Nepia changing teams? Never!

I should have officially changed at 5pm today then I wouldn't had to put up with this shit show.
Also GFY, you lot couldn't win shit until I came along and then bang two Super wins and regular finalists.

Fucking horrible from the warriors.
Flashes of why they could be a top eight side, mixed in utter bulshit for the rest.
Egan, O'Sullivan and kosi are all not nrl standard.
BMM and Evans were garbage.

Can we just agree that "it's our year" will never actually be a thing.
We aren't even also rans, we make up the numbers. We are a feeder team for the rest of the competition. Occasionally we find some talent. That talent goes ok for us to the point where we acquire false hope. We'll buy into their back story(like "he's a great young talent and his mum plays for the women warriors. Great story...". Predictably that talent then goes off to somewhere else because we can't stand them in our team and lack the know how to do what happens next. Next is obviously that player goes to anywhere else and almost like clockwork, becomes a fantastic player that is pivotal in making their team a contender
We will go through years, fucking years, of buying cast offs. Players no one really wants. But players Brandy Alexander would refer to as "solid and just the type of player NZ needs". While which ever team sent them to us is happy as fuck to be shot of them. Where other teams will experiment short term with this type of player. The warriors will lock them in for 3 years and stifle their own ability to bring through home grown players.
When you look back at what we have done as far as player signing are concerned it's fucking shameful how often we have signed quality let alone someone who was a star or could become one.
Top tier:
Steve Price
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
Ruben WikiJust below:
Kevin Campion
Tohu Harris
James Maloney
Jacob LillymanA bit further back:
Brent Webb
Wade McKinnon
Brent Tate
Nathan FienHonorable mention:
Michael Luck
Bully - when fitAfter that it's pretty fucking slim picking. We are talking almost 30 years of signings and that's pretty much it.
Coaching through our history is either a joke Or we have a good coach, like I believe we do now, but they lack the support to get the job done.
Im tired and I really have a fair bit more to say but I can't be fucked.
I will never understand rugby league in NZ. A place where we can turn out quality rugby sides with relative ease.
-
@raznomore Personally, I'd bounce Luck up to just below and Lillyman down to a bit further back but pretty much agree with you. Also, Tohu must be close to to tier too.

Our current team is still better than some of the shit we have produced at times...
The warriors seem to have a major cultural issue. Nobody seems to put much effort in. We can be good for short periods, unfortunately its mixed in will large patches of shit.

Last night is pretty strong evidence suggesting the opposite.
I know everyone wants Cameron George to be our saviour but he's not getting any better results than previous fishheads.
We've heard for years we need Aussies, now we're overflowing with Aussies and we're still shit.
By we I mean you from next season.
