Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2751528, member: 1899"] A tough night at the office. Full credit to the Warriors. They were up for this one and just rolled through the Broncos relatively easily. They received a lot of fortune through out but that tends to go both ways. Unfortunately Brisbane are starting to feel the pinch. It wasn't the Broncos day. The move to shift McGuire to dummy half didn't pan out and I doubt we'll see it again. Not only did it force Josh into a foreign role, it weakened the front row position. Ofahengaue is a good prospect but he was lost out there and struggled with the responsibility. Maranta also had his first shocker under Wayne. He didn't have the best game last week either, but it was nothing compared to what we saw yesterday. I haven't felt worse for a player in a long time when he stepped over the sideline. The cruel bounce for Johnson was bad enough, that was just a telltale sign of where his head was at and he never switched back on. On the plus side, the bench was quite good. Pangai Jr, Wallace, Nikorima and Ese'ese all provided impact and I expect bigger and better things. It's just unfortunate that in the case of Pangai Jr, Ese'ese, Arrow and Su'A they're all so relatively inexperienced. It would have been nice to blood them earlier, but with the team in such good form to start the year and a decent run with injuries it was difficult to find them a spot. Particularly in the case of Pangai Jr who only joined the club right as the pre-season was wrapping up. I like what I've seen and expect they'll be better come August and September. Not the result and the team is in a rough spot. The next few weeks will define the rest of the season. I haven't given up on them and believe they have the tools to find the answer. They just have to suck it up and make it happen, somehow. [/QUOTE]
