The NZ Warriors continue to struggle.....What needs to change? 😖

[@taiyonatiare7918]

There’s a myriad of reasons but idk if it’s just me but they look like they’re not having fun or enjoying themselves. Even from the start the energy just seems off. Hope last year wasn’t just a fluke

[@clarkkent1340]

Had a soft draw last year, and a soft draw this year. This is the real Warriors, we need to accept they will lose the next 3 into the bye. The media overhyped them severely.

[@jackohere1878]

@@clarkkent1340 There is no such thing as a "soft" draw in the NRL.You may get lucky and not face the real top sides as much as others but on any day any team can win against anyone.Even Tigers have beaten Panthers .

Let somebody else take the conversions. Johnson is a leader and plays an important position, the team does great at the start of most games and then lose composure. If Johnson isn't kicking, he would be an asset in the important few minutes after a try is scored to display his leadership and make sure the team is aware of the next few steps come kick off. But if Johnson doesn't really talk after a try is scored then my bad, ignore me 😂 those few minutes after a try is scored really is crucial for the leaders in your team though, just saying! Last year Johnson didn't really kick, Metcalf did and we were aawwwnnn!

[@MarkSemmens-s5o]

Johnson whinging at the other players too much. Bad energy.

[@taiyonatiare7918]

I dont think it’s the main problem but I definitely noticed that too. Even I was like damn that’d get annoying

[@sheldonwilson4450]

That’s the least of our problems 😂 he was doing that last year too just not as much cuz we were winning more games last year

[@haasteagle2750]

The Warriors have lost that unpredictability factor of last season. They've been figured out, what worked last year is not working this year. Webster seems to think everything is ok and it'll work out but this Warriors 2024 version looks clunky, out of sorts and bottom 8 material. Can anyone remember the last time Tohu Harris dominated a game or made inspiring plays as skipper because I don't. Shaun Johnson is back to his inconsistent worse and it filters through the whole squad. Would the likes of Montoya and Jackson Ford with their constant handling issues and defensive misreads start or even earn a bench spot at any of the current top 6 teams? I highly doubt it. So much going wrong their losing momentum this is how they lose fans, lose media coverage, this is how people lose interest it's deflating and depressing up and down the country people are jumping off that band wagon again.

[@jackohere1878]

The only fans "lost" will be the fair weather ones and who cares about the fickle soft minded ones that they are.As soon as winning run starts they will all jump back on the bandwagon claiming to be real fans that actually care which is hilarious stuff.

[@KRM85]

Defence and attack is trash. DWZ and Montoya shouldn't be playing. SJ is a one trick pony and TMM doesnt do anything.

@@KRM85 You think maybe Metcalf's injury and SJ's achilles injury meaning he hasn't trained with the side for over a month may have led to our attack becoming clunky. If you don't "even f.... watch them" how in the hell do you know anything champ.

The attack is fine. How about not giving 20 penalties away and stop dropping the ball so often

[@jackohere1878]

Yea basic errors is the main problem for sure.Fix that and things will look very different.

[@BigSnapper]

SJ up to his old lazy tricks again

[@jackohere1878]

Geez he is carrying a nasty painful achilles injury but is showing real toughness playing as due to other injuries we don't have a decent halfback to fill in. Fair weather fans have no idea.

[@BigSnapper]

@@jackohere1878 If SJ is indeed playing through injuries in a competition as tough as the NRL, one can only deduce that he is choosing in bad faith to be greedy, selfish and a poor teammate - especially considering that he's an older player nearing retirement. His choosing to play under an injury cloud has lead to decreased individual and team performance, increased risk of further injury, disruption of team dynamics, and hindrance of younger players' development like Taine Tuaupiki. I'm not buying this bs that you're trying to sell I'm afraid Jacko.

[@jackohere1878]

@@BigSnapper FFS facts are facts not BS but make up whatever story you like I guess.Are you saying Webster tells outright lies? SJ is playing with an achilles injury that has meant he can hardly train during the week because we have NO alternative of any quality with both Metcalf and CHT out.Like Webster says he has shown real toughness to play through pain for the team which is not selfish at all in fact quite the opposite as he could have sooked and taken a break but he plays on then likes of you them say the most idiotic things about him-oh well takes all sorts I guess. Tuapiki is a FB who could cover outside backs at a pinch.He is not a halfback - maybe do a tiny bit of research champ as throwing Tuapiki in at 7 at NRL level would have been a disaster and knocked his confidence big time.

[@BigSnapper]

@@jackohere1878 BS. Tuaupiki has the skills, intellect and attitude to be the best 7 in the game if his talents and abilities are recognized, fostered and realized by competent staff and management. Like I said, if the Warriors are playing SJ under an injury cloud while having a fit and healthy player like Tuaupiki available then they are being stupid and the recent results attest to that. I didn't say anything about Webster by the way. I'm talking to you.

[@jackohere1878]

@@BigSnapper Geez you should be a NRL coach as your knowledge is apparently far superior to those who have coached Tuapiki all his career - dream on champ. I mentioned Webster because it was he not me that told about SJ' playing with achilles injury because the team needed him in a time of injury crisis - get a grp please.
