Perham is actually ok. The others are disappointing
Perham can’t pass and along with Flanagan offers us nothing in attack putting ALL the pressure on Burton to create something in attack.....our attack is so limited...our halfback and fullback issues need to be resolved

He'd better do it.
Won't happen. Less chance of mild mannered Ciro saying anything than Flanno going into the line.

We were dudded but how can we complain when the team played like wasters and didn't look like they had the ticker to seize the win.

We are so predictable in attack. Same plodders in spine picked every week and expect a different result ain’t gonna happen.
Ciraldo needs to take the heat for poor bench management.
Did okunbur take a hit up and don’t think tanner got on what is the point of playing with 15 ?

half back and centre and forwards are bigger issues

Did extremely well without props and a half back.
The sooner KO is here the better.
Flanagan is a waste of space...
We probably do better with 12 men !!!
Their 3 tries being controversial doesn't help.

How the fuck is this a professional sport there was 2 knock ons by Warriors tryong to gather a lose offload by Bulldog in one play with 2 minutes to go, sideline ref leaning in for a look 2 metres away and they call play on 4th tackle.

Black n white rules of a decoy runner raking out Mahoney in the defensive line. The referee set the ptb speed very deliberately for Warrior no matter the tackle type.
I'm glad you aren't the only one who saw this. Commentators and NRL alumni will remain silent because they need the NRL to have a strong following in NZ

I think we played well considering. Fkn tough game when you get poor calls all game and we only lost if a try which even Annesley will say was a mistake. Other wise the whole obstruction rule needs to be changed

Some unfair criticism being dished out. We aren't gonna be a top 8 team overnight. We are a good prop and halfback away from it imo. Give the boys some time.

Oloapu ain't ready yet but might be a shot at 14 (with Brown gone).
Reynolds has been the organiser in reggies.
If they have any ambition for Karl to be a (semi) game-controlling half then they need to have him doing that in reserve grade (including kicks for touch, etc)

The only other option is for Burton to become the game controller from 7 - he kind of does now anyway from 6 (with, let's face it, a very big assist from Mahoney), and KO coming in as a running 6.

Either way, while Flanagan has been adequate in the first few rounds, I think today showed he just isn't going to make any appreciable improvement to his game over what he offers right now (which is not that much).

And a 5/8th.... which we have in reserves
Burto is not the problem him and reed have to try create everything because our half back is not up to first grade standard but in saying that burto needs a kick up the arse did he forget how to put spiral bombs up most boring consecutive nothing kicks sad day
