Does that game ****ing prove anything to you? Or are you going to stick with your ****ing blind loyalty?

You take Ropati and Moon off (and cloud Moon's replacement as an injury, bullshit the bloke should have been hooked straight after when he kicked on the 2nd ****ING tackle with 2 minutes to go with nothing on) at halftime, and ... lo and behold, we see some ****ing structure, depth and width in our attack.

List of Vulcans for the Rest of the Season

Lillyman - no attack, nothing. Cowboys were not disappointed to lose this bloke. The most overrated player to ever play State of Origin, even more luckier than Adrian Brunker, and the only club who fell for the myth hook line and ****ing sinker was the Warriors. Yet the club apparently doesn't have money to keep Tuimavave and Ah Mau. Suck my ... well you know what on that decision.

Moon - no direction, no idea. When the game becomes more structured at NRL level he just doesn't cut the mustard. Notice the difference in the second half? Our backs got front foot ball with space.

Ropati - Hideous handling, poor defence. His defence as a centre is the worst in the league. In the second half, our edges were firm as concrete.

Kemp - The one who doesn't want to mess his hair up can stay down there. Locke has more enthusiasm, intent, and idea about where to be on a football field in one of his pubes than Kemp has in his entire body. And to think, the coach honestly thought you could do a tenable kicking job ahead of Michael Witt!!!!!!!! You couldn't kick the snot out of a lethargic welfare dog.

A big F.U to the Warriors selections for this year. I have never, ever been so pissed off with a football club in my entire life. You have blokes elsewhere who would bust their ass for a chance in this team, yet you bring in drifters like Lillyman, Rovelli et al. And we find ourselves in a position where Ah Mau and Tuimavave are being sent elsewhere. Seriously, you can shove it on that selection policy.

 

Agree with everything you said Damo, hopefully he has a cricsim account.

 

Lillyman has done shitall since he left the Cowboys, he really didnt do that much in 2008 either tbh, Im glad now we let him go but feel sorry the Warriors got nothing out of signing the ****.

 

LOL, the head knock was an obvious excuse to get him off. He has been playing poorly all season and has had half a season to prove himself and what has he shown for it? Sweet **** all..

 

You seriously believe Moon is a future five-eighth? In half a season what have we got from him.. We know he can kick bloody far.... right in to the fullbacks arms. He can defend well and he is a great ball runner <--- Key attributes for a centre.

Henderson is out because of his father passing away, hopefully he is back soon. Heremaia's passing out of dummy half was slow and laboured, he played pretty well at five-eighth though. He knew how to put people in to holes which I haven't seen Moon do for all the time he has had there.

And how can you disagree with me on Ropati? Seriously..

 

Hendo should be back hopefully.

I disagree on Ropati though.

His defence at centre is average at best; he rushes out of the line and is constantly putting pressure on his winger and making him look like an outright dick. He hasn't just been doing it lately as well, he has been doing it for the past few seasons. The game against the Broncos was a prime example, he got beaten a few times and we ended up getting thrashed. I do not mind Ropati's attacking game as such but when he is constantly dropping balls every game it makes me wonder how he is even a NRL standard centre with ball handling skills like that.

 

Did you see Lewis Brown play in the centres today? Was outstanding in defence and after 20 minutes the Sharks stopped going down his side of the field. Compared to when Ropati was on the field where they were constantly attacking does his side knowing that eventually he would crack, and of course, he did.

 

Turns out I was wrong about Moon, he suffered a serious head knock in the first 10 minutes of the game and probably should have been pulled a lot earlier. Could explain his stupidity at the time.

Jerome Ropati also has an ankle injury so this could be a blessing in disguise with a new centre or Mannering playing there. I would prefer a centre like Siatonga or even Likiliki from the U20's but wouldn't mind Lewis Brown playing there either.

 

Jones played alright yesterday, but we should have stuck with the winning combination we had at the start of the year.

6. Moon
7. Fien

IMO.

But now that Moon has had so many different people playing outside him and not enough time to develop combinations heresay he appears to have lost the confidence he had in his game at the start of the season. I like him as a player but he just isn't delivering.
