      Id say that was just as much Ayshfords fault, he was all at sea and let Reed waltz around him.

        Good finish. Looks like Blake A is goneski. <br><br>
        But man it's disappointing to see a couple of decent ingoal kicks and not forcing a repeat set.

            Liking the way Lisone plays. Runs at the line like he's going to break it, or at the very least bend it.<br><br>
            Careful of being too aggressive though lad, you'll be released for not being able to play to a plan.

              Big Manu looks buggered now. Ribs?<br>
              Hurrell and Fusitua into the team next week then?

                  Time I went to bed, I'm wrecked.<br><br>
                  Huge improvement from the Warriors in the 55 odd minutes I've watched.<br>
                  They've played more direct and made very few, if any errors with the ball, defense is another story.<br><br>
                  Despite this, they haven't really threated the Brisbane try line too much. Last plays just haven't quite been on the money and the Broncos have been too good.<br><br>
                  If they keep playing like they have in the first hour or so, they'll win more than they lose.

                    We're fucked. <br><br>
                    That attack should show the Warriors what to do. Direct with bodies in motion. Not lateral and one-off like us. <br><br>
                    Johnson has been shit

                      <p>Warriors put in another 40 minute performance and the Broncos cruise to a 25-10 victory.<br><br>
                      Positives:</p>
                      <p> </p>
                      <p>- The Warriors played a more direct running game which got Luke a little more involved (and got him a try).</p>
                      <p>- Kata was one of the better players for once. At least he was trying to do something unlike some of the veterans.</p>
                      <p>- Bodene Thompson was causing trouble for Reed and Milford's side of the field on attack and defence.</p>
                      <p>- As mentioned, Sam Lisone is all aggression.</p>
                      <p> </p>
                      <p>Negatives:</p>
                      <p> </p>
                      <p>- Forget the annual media reports of the boys running over sand dunes - these guys aren't fit enough. Fatigue has been a problem for several seasons now.</p>
                      <p>- Even before he got injured Manu Vatuvei was struggling. Time to bring in Fusitua (AND KONRAD HURRELL!!!!). Sadly Cappy will bring in Jonty Wright and Matt Allwood.</p>
                      <p>- Speaking of the soon-to-be fired coach, best image of the night was Cappy sitting in the box surrounded (and I do mean "surrounded") by 4-5 assistant coaches. This was followed by a shot of the Broncos coaching box which showed only Wayne Bennett.</p>
                      <p>- This was also a good image:</p>
                      <p><img src="https://scontent-syd1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/12801114_1143956348972637_1376808728158242092_n.jpg?oh=d78171e7fd7b98725edc605fb02b303a&amp;oe=575D2C5B" alt="12801114_1143956348972637_13768087281582"></p>
                      <p> </p>
                      <p>Best Warriors of the night? Probably Thompson, Gavet and Kata. Yes, Kata.</p>

                        <p>Agree Kata was terrific, as was Thompson.</p>
                        <p> </p>
                        <p>Ayshford is yet another 'meh' type player that Cappy loves, never going to create something from nothing. I wonder who the Warriors could use for more impact in that centre position?....???? Hmmmmmmm :think:</p>

                          Seems Cappy is attracted to journeyman players like himself. Best we get Ivan Cleary back now, he's the closest thing the club has ever had to a safe pair of hands in the coaching department

                                  This can't be the same Chad Townsend, he looks like a decent first grade half

                                      This is a shit game. The Dragons are awful and the Sharks don't have to be much better to be dominating them
