i think if we play against all teams like we did last night, we will make the finals. if we eliminate a couple of errors either side of HT, we make top 4.

totally agree. if we can just get away from defending in our own half 70% of games, provide structure our the back with johnson, tomkins, hurrell, manu running onto it at pace. i cant see many teams handling it. also intensity. they need to go into every game lifke their lives depend on winning. which is not easy for so many rounds. but its what it takes just to make the finals and thats what they are paid for.

went to the game yesterday. They hung in there but the dogs just preyed on mistakes and made them pay with points and pressure. Good signs going down against the top team but need to get there a game on.

why did lolahea get the nod over lino should johnson not make the game? lino is a quality kicker.

i think that game last night is going to lose a LOT of fanbase.

what a pathetic display that second half was. not only did they have them down to no interchanges, they had their big players injured.

yet some how they managed to fold like a deck of cards.

not good enough. heart breaking.

i wish i could see it that way, i use to, but i dont want us to be one of those clubs that NEVER win a GF. its like the kiwis just dont have enough understanding of how consistently good you have to be for a very long time (a season AND a finals series) to win a premiership, let alone 80mins to win a single game. as someone who wears warriors gear im supporting that. so if i wasnt a real fan i wouldnt care. but i do. they are far too talented to keep losing games that they had won. thats at least 4 this year.

im probably the most dissapointed and truely sickly gutted ive been after any game they have failed in, including 2 GFs.

I agree with you about the funny game, but very glad to get the 2 points. However I couldn't disagree with you more regarding Tomkins. Yes he does make a few too many mistakes per game but his stats are well up there with the NRLs best fullbacks this season. He makes the mistakes because he is involved in everything. Some of the tries scored recently have been directly attributed to his amazing skills. I can think of a handful of tries that put the boys over the chalk that came from his flick passes. Give the guy a chance to settle in. He arrived at a club that was struggling internally that has seen two coaches with different styles. Tomkins is a class act that will only get better the more NRL games he plays. 

I'll take the two and I'm sure Tompkins will get better, at the end if the day if the boys up front are doing their job he will look real good. Like most backs

The game in Perth is ridiculous and its border line cheating from South Sydney. It's almost impossible for us to win. As far as the players body clocks are concerned were playing the 2nd half between 12 and 1 am and in the last 20mins the players are physically wrecked. It's why Souths play the warriors in Perth. I was disappointed but that criticism Fiz is very harsh imo.

They were there for 4 days prior to playing the game, there was no jet lag or excuse for clocking off, to their credit mannering and cappy had no excuses, they admitted they abandoned the game plan. which is what has lost them so many games this year, lazyness, clocking off when the job is half done.

Yeah Tomkins is little, a lot of FBs are small but by NRL standards hes little. Reminds me of willy zilman. My thoughts exactly re while tommy was injured tomkins could have gone into 6. To townsends credit hes a much better player at the warriors, but tomkins needs to be involved a lot more in the play making. Half a season is plenty enough time for him to have proved himself, so I feel my comments are fair. I wish he didnt make so many mistakes, even if he isnt making huge offensive plays, i could live with that, but he makes some brain explosion mistakes.

I respect your opinion, each to their own.

Dissapointing to watch the u20 and nsw cup today. Expected a 3pete.
