    also, it appears the first coaching casualty will happen today, with the Dogs board meeting to discuss the coach

    Trent Barrett is a proven failure coach, and a prime example of what i mean when i talk about the roundabout of failure that the shit clubs are on. Should never have been given another head coaching gig, and yet here we are.

      The vultures are circling outside Belmore and Trent was always in the conversation for first coach sacked. He is clearly someone who interviews well, has worked well as an assistant somewhere, but cant deliver as a head coach anywhere..reminds me of Kearney.

      I did pick Melbourne to get beaten especially after Hughes ruled out. I suspected Penrith might bounce back after their loss to Parra. Did not expect the smashing though.

      The cows starting to get a bit of momentum now, will be interesting to see how they go against the big teams. Cotter going from being an underused bench player to potential Origin player in a few weeks.

      As for the warriors, jeez they are tough to support and even coming from 20 odd points down and with dropping the ball twice over the line almost came up with a win when they should not have even been close. Great to see Montoya back starting, one of the few who looked ok throughout. You do wonder how far Brown is away from Barrett though in terms of time remaining

          Yeah he looked like he has not only given up but now thinks his only play is pass kicks, perhaps time to lets the 19 year old have a run, could not do much worse. The only time he has looked good this year is taking a clutch kick under pressure to win games. Even if some of those games the only reason the opposition were in them, were because of his errors

            field goals? good
            basically everything else? very very bad

            Won't run, can't organise, incredibly poor option taking, no defense. No way anyone else does worse, and just a smidge of enthusiasm from a young player might actually spark something.

              @mariner4life don't disagree, surely the hammys arent that bad that he thinks he is now a lead foot? it certainly looks like he is cement feet out there which impacts almost every other decision he makes

                deadset fuck these Aussie fluffybunnies

                Lodge just walked out, because he doesn't want to live in NZ

                Lodge is a fucking stain but he was also our most effective forward.

                So that's 3 players now who signed with the NZ Warriors who are quitting as soon as they get to go back to NZ. Fuck them. The only future for this club is to focus on junior development in NZ.

                    Him leaving now is just weird as opposed to the end of the year unless there is more happening behind the scenes. Although being a prize fluffybunny he was getting metres and minutes where others were failing.

                    CHT also confirmed he rejected the Warriors offer to stay, no sign yet where he goes.

                        Those guys along with Ivan Cleary, Lillyman and Tate were all pros. There is a big group of Aussies that were on the fringes of their NRL squads, or discards playing in NSW and Qland Cups with big chips on their shoulders who would kill for a chance to prove their doubters wrong. Webb, Henderson, Gattis, Marsh Villasanti, McKinnon among others. We need those kind of guys

                          Exactly. It’s a case by case basis, not if they’re Australian or not.

                          Signing a munter like Lodge always had potential to end badly.

                                The Dragons score off the back of a highly suspicious looking lost ball sequence by the Warriors. The Warriors are bloody flaky, but the NRL is a fucking con job.

                                  Warriors get a score after some great aerial work from a Shaun Johnson Red zone kick

                                    What's the score? Are the Warriors getting monstered in the pack without the hard man (tee hee hee) Lodge there?

                                      What's the score? Are the Warriors getting monstered in the pack without the hard man (tee hee hee) Lodge there?

                                      NZ comms team say we are playing with better energy. Warriors up 14-12 at the half

                                        Already seeing the benefit of having the Hawkes Bay boy back. 😉 (This comment will spectacularly backfire on me considering - the Warriors).
