also very concerning every week the post-match interview is a player calling out his team mates. They are fractured as anything.
It's going to cost us Walsh i reckon. And maybe our 2023 signings are having 2nd thoughts.

Sign of a good open, honest culture that promotes a winning mentality.

I am glad Walsh called out that display because no one else is and to make it worse the coach looks bereft of ideas.
I do know of two good Q Cup young forwards in our system but I dont think they are props and our engine room is the worst in the comp now AFB is injured and Lodge is gone. We need a couple of big hard straight runners, surely that is possible to find. Just so soft in our middle right now.
Some players did sign to play for Nathan Brown, which ones I don't know, I think we are now at the stage that keeping Brown is going to hurt the rest more. I think we are at the stage that, sacking him is a risk worth taking, as is sacking SJ. Walsh doesnt get any help from him anyway which is what he was meant to do and he has completely forgotten how to run. Plus the defence is not going to get worse without him there. It might be the only way to keep the young kid now interested.

@bayimports we are in desperate need for a change up. Doing what we have been doing, getting retread NRL coaches like Elliot, Kearney and Brown isn't working. The boys aren't responding and we don't seem to know how we want to play. I don't want to sound like a broken record, sign up the Walker brothers and see what they can do with our boys. Whether we win or lose, at least it should be more exciting to watch than the current shower of shit

There are not too many decent coaches that could change a culture regardless, but for me this would be one pair I would consider. But it would be a big change and need someone ready to take a risk. Is a guy who gets into fights with Matt Lodge, that type of person? I don't know.

I heard they just haven't had the right deal. I heard that they interviewed last time we were looking, only for Robinson to hand the job to Brown. Hopefully he has learned a lesson after that. We are desperate, we can't get much lower. Give them a few years if they want to come, they can't do any worse

check out this disgusting comment from the senile old drunk Rothfield
“I think technically and tactically Browny is as sharp as any coach in rugby league but being a coach of an NRL club is a lot more than that,” Rothfield said.
“It’s about managing players, managing salary caps, taking into account the culture issues that come with the Maori boys at the Warriors.
“In fact they’ve been away from home for so long and managing all that.
“I think Browny’s going to fight to keep that job"
First, lets stick up for Browny because he's mates with the media guys. Then the "Maori boys at the warriors" holy fuck dude, that's.. i mean... holy shit. That's fucked up on a number levels.

@mariner4life he shouldn't be in his job either.. how he still has one is beyond me

Weeeelllll shit
I doubt this is an upgrade
-
Robinson must have money to throw around, as I assume he'd have to pay out Brown too.
Yep that short fuse in action again and i am sure he will probably quote himself as an alpha male again in the process.
Hopefully he uses some of that money to correct the ship rather than make payoffs

The limited amount I have seen him on the telly, I don't doubt his passion for rugby league and the Warriors. But he has to hire good people to run the club and then step the fuck out of the way to let them do the job
-
I'm still wondering about the nuke it from orbit and start again approach. For all the various flaws in the coach hiring process over the years, I find myself wondering if even a duo of Bennett and Bellamy could turn the Warriors around at this stage...
-
I've been a diehard Warriors supporter since the beginning but it's hard to think of a worse time for the club than right now.
The owner seems like a real ballbag - why is he even in the pub arguing with the players? Then we hamstring the club's salary cap by releasing our best prop.
We fired Kearney, who was faring okay, given the situation he found himself in and took on a bum of a coach with a 20 something percent win record who, unsurprisingly, turned out to be a bum and ended up with a similar win percentage.
Jazz Tevaga is hearty as hell, and arguably tries the hardest week in, week out. But he's 98kg and is our starting prop. I'm picking there isn't a lighter prop in the comp this year, or in recent years. How are our forwards meant to dominate when they're 15 - 20kg light?
Stacey Jones is a club legend, but that doesn't translate to being a good coach. I'd prefer we cleaned the current regime out and got the Walker brothers in. We need to take a chance, because what we've been doing hasn't worked in the past.
Even more frustrating from an NRL-wide perspective is that contracts don't appear to be worth the paper they're written on. Guys signing with a New Zealand club and then saying that they're not willing to relocate to NZ and being granted immediate releases. Payne Haas being signed on potential by the Broncos for less than he's currently worth and now trying to renegotiate his contract halfway through because he thinks he's being underpaid. The contract/agent system is well and truly broken.
