Why did Chase Stanley and Holland travel to Dunedin?

Good question...... maybe more PR stuff with nz fans

Why did Chase Stanley and Holland travel to Dunedin?

Safe to say its only for PR due to the fact that there not in the 21 man squad.

Tbh I think that the Warriors team is so overrated:

1. RTS (Class player)
2. Vatuvei (Past it, bad under the high ball, makes some bad defence reads)
3. Fusitu'a (Good player)
4. Kata (Can't pass to save his life)
5. Maumalo (Can't catch, bad defensively but good at bringing the ball back)
6. Hingano (Potential to be a star)
7. Johnson (Would be a star 5/8 in my opinion with a experienced controlling halfback)
8. Vete (Decent player, nothing special)
9. Luke (Past it big time)
10. Lillyman (Past it but still does a decent job)
11. Thompson (Good player)
12. Hoffman (Past it but still can do a job)
13. Mannering (Good player)

So really there only real star is RTS and other then that they have a great player in Johnson and a couple of good players in Luke, Fusitu'a and Mannering. But there not at the level everyone makes them out to be.

No Foran
No rts
No matulino

No fcuking excuses
There should be no bloody excuses, weather, travel, rain, referee, injuries, indoor stadium!!

If we lose
Hasler must walk this week imo Coz the players are not responding to his methods what so ever

 

[Dogtime]

Excited to see our new players. Hoppa out for 6 weeks...how many Sunday games in that?...dont tell me none ffs.

Good betting game. Can see us winning and B Morris scoring a try. In all tipping comps most tipsters are picking Dogs even though we are 2:20 to 1.70 outsiders. With RTS out no Foran yet and warriors gone ordinary last week...can see us winning realistically. Not worth a big wager though...maybe 500 on us will do.

Why did Chase Stanley and Holland travel to Dunedin?

Same could be asked for Castle.

I think in all honesty it's to support the club.

 

[GDR]

I'm excited, because for the first time in a long time we have some young fast and skillful outside back's debuting for the club.. I just ask my fellow kennelers to be a bit patient with their development.....

Warriors have come in. Punters know something

 

[CaptainJackson]

Warriors have come in. Punters know something

We've gone from 2.20 to 2.05

Its not that much of a difference

 

[Brendan7]

[Bob dog]

Your a madman to think that Shaun Johnson is not a star player.

Disagree. Johnson can't string many good performances together. He's hot and cold and genuine superstars are performers every week. Johnsons poor games are extremely bad. Thurstons poor games are almost non existent.

Needs more support around him

 

[Moedogg]

Kick behind Manu who turns slower than a ship....

Bit harsh! The Warriors are capable of spanking any team in the NRL when they are on song.

Looking forward to this one. Put simply we must win. Will be good to play on a dry track. I'm expecting Jmoz and Lee to switch. So Jmoz will partner Montoya. Excited to see what Abbey has to offer.

A star player needs to be consistent and be able to lead his team to victories while Johnson has never put 5 good games together. Sure his got a step and pace but other then that what does he do. Bad kicking game, Makes a lot of errors, his passing game is average, his bad defensively.

He's not in the same bracket as the stars of the game, Thurston, Cronk, Smith, Tedesco are stars Johnson is not.

 

[KiwiDog7]

The playing surface looks immaculate no excuses tomorrow night!!

 

[CroydonDog]

Just have to make sure we score at least 2 tries more than them to make up for shit goalkicking.

Our home game stadium!
