If you look around the world of professional sport and cast your eye over the elite teams: we're speaking of the Canterbury Crusaders, the New England Patriots, the New York Yankees, the Manchester Uniteds, these clubs all share one thing in common.
They all win a lot, obviously, but it goes a little deeper than that. Their reaction to winning is less enthusiastic than your average club: a win is just another small step taken in the master plan, it is immediately forgotten and the team moves on to the next game. Gratification is delayed until the ultimate goal of a championship is reached.
However, their reaction to losing is more enthusiastic than your average club. Because a loss is such a shock to the winning culture of these elite clubs, a renewed sense of discipline, urgency and focus is felt after any lost match. The entire organisation wants to rid itself of the unnatural feeling of losing as soon as possible.
It is for this reason that the franchises above virtually NEVER lose two games in a row.
The St George Dragons fit into this hallowed group of teams. So after getting embarrassed in front of a nationwide audience on Monday night by their previously putrid local rivals, it was safe to assume the Dragons would bounce back across the ditch vs the struggling Warriors.
There's a good reason why the Warriors have only won a pitiful 4 of 17 clashes all-time vs the Red V: their unprofessional style plays straight into the Dragons' hands. St George did nothing special yesterday, they just took what the Warriors gave them.
The Dragons were actually on the back foot for the opening 3 minutes: New Zealand was winning the early collisions in an obvious attempt to replicate the Sharks' out-muscling tactics of the week before.
But all it took was one Sam Rapira fumble to switch field position and give the Dragons a scent of points, from which they duly pounced the very next set when Jason Nightingale abused Lance Hohaia by soaring over him to collect a pin-point Soward bomb.
8 minutes later, it was more of the same when Seymour threw a poor ball out the back to Hohaia causing him to fumble and a midfield scrum to form. Hohaia, the fullback, decided that defending openside one out from the scrum was a bright idea. He made a tackle on consecutive plays, and started running back to his defensive position.
But the Dragons were too quick. On 2nd tackle, an Dan Hunt offload up the middle third was quickly transitioned from Fien to Soward to Nightingale, and Hohaia was woefully out of position to provide last-line cover defense after the missed tackles on Nightingale by Krisnan Inu and Lewis Brown.
The icing on the cake came 10 minutes later. Feleti Mateo's 23rd minute fumble at midfield was snapped up by Mark Gasnier, and 3 plays later Matt Cooper cashed in to make it 18-0 and the game was as good as over.
It didn't matter for St George that the Youngs, Scotts and Weymans were absent. They just plugged in two young workhorses in Dan Hunt and Trent Merrin to set the platform, controlled the tempo through their halves and ruthlessly exploited the Warriors mistakes.
For example, in the first half alone the Warriors had a slack 45 missed or ineffectual tackles. And the Dragons, whose conservative style perennially ranks them among the league's worst at offloading, took advantage of the Warriors' inability to wrap up the ball by making a flabbergasting 13 offloads. To put that number in perspective: in its opening two first halves of the year, St George had just 7 offloads combined.
All the Dragons do is execute their gameplan to perfection and wait for you to fail in executing yours. This basic philosophy gives them unparalleled consistency and makes Mark Geyer's prediction of St George missing the Top Eight seem absolutely preposterous.
New Zealand, on the other hand, can only dream of the sort of consistent success enjoyed by the Dragons. About the only thing they are consistent at is defying expectations. So when their late run into the 2010 finals combined with big name offseason additions like Mateo and Inu led many pundits to back them into a top four spot, astute long-time Warriors fans smelt a rat.
And after just 3 games, it is clear that this rat is not your run-of-the-mill household rodent but a giant post-apocalyptic radioactive sewer rat. Sure, it is early and there are 21 rounds left and so on and so forth but mark it down: the New Zealand Warriors will not make the top 8 in 2011.
This is a team riddled with issues. Starting in the backrow, they boast captain Simon Mannering and tireless stalwart Michael Luck. Luck has been the heart of the Warriors' defense since arriving at the club in 2006, and rest assured that without him all those years, New Zealand would have been much worse off.
But now the 28 year-old Queenslander has almost become superfluous to requirements. With captain Mannering the new 80 minute man in the pack, Luck's role has been usurped from him. Because both players' skillsets are essentially the same (great defense with virtually non-existent running or passing skills), it has left the Warriors backrow devoid of attacking flair save one player: new recruit Feleti Mateo.
Mateo feels this massive burden placed on his shoulders and consequently overplays his hand by looking to force an offload practically every time he hits the ball up. In the opening 3 contests, this has resulted in 6 offloads and 5 errors, an unfavourable conversion rate that is just killing the Warriors.
Ivan Cleary chooses to play Lance Hohaia, one of the best utility players in the world, at fullback where he flat-out embarrasses himself. His positional play while fielding long kicks is horrendous, with the majority of kicks being allowed to bounce at least once before being fielded. His defensive positioning is spotty at best, often not even giving him the chance to make a last-line, one-on-one tackle. His support play of ballcarriers is sub-par and the next time you see him running lines off the halves into a hole will be the first.
The only time Hohaia looks decent is when he's up at in line at dummy half or second receiver and is throwing cut-out passes to his outside men. Indeed, a useful string for a Number 1 to have in his bow but it doesn't come close to compensating for his glaring lack of fundamental fullback skills.
Interestingly, the Warriors have two young true fullbacks who have excelled at the position their entire junior careers: Kevin Locke and Glen Fisiiahi. In 2008, as Josh Dugan was tearing apart the NYC, Locke was matching Dugan in metres, tries, points and impact with many commentators divided as to who was the better prospect.
Fast forward 3 years and Dugan has blossomed into arguably the most exciting young player in the game while Locke wastes away on the right wing in a position wholly unsuited for a player of his slight stature and spontaneous nature.
It remains to be seen whether the same mistake is made with Fisiiahi but early signs do not look promising. After being thrown into the Eden Park cauldron in front of 38,000 in week 1, the 'Fish' flubbed his opportunity in the unfamiliar wing position and was dropped the next week under the guise of a concussion. If only the young star who electrified the Toyota Cup in 2010 with his blinding speed and relentless support play was given a shot at the position he was born to play.
Yet the crux of the Warriors' problems start and finish in the most crucial area: the halves. After last week's pathetic display at Leichhardt Oval, Ivan Cleary described his halves pairing as 'rudderless'. Sadly, that was understating the matter.
Although James Maloney was something of a revelation last season with his great support play and tough temperament, his limited playmaking abilities make him best suited to acting as a complementary half.
Herein lies the problem: Brett Seymour is the antithesis of a dominant half and his poor decisions and execution lead to Maloney assuming the role of controlling half by default. This overburdening of Maloney naturally leads to ineffective last tackle plays and the breakdown of momentum and structure as a result. In the 2nd half, hooker Shaun Berrigan was so frustrated at his halves' previous incompetence that he gave two 5th tackle plays in a row to prop Russell Packer to simply hit up the middle.
The plays had virtually no chance of succeeding, but Berrigan had obviously reached the end of his tether with the 6 and 7 and decided that ANYTHING was better than another mis-hit grubber or overcooked bomb.
Intriguingly, there is reputedly an answer to New Zealand's halves conundrum right under their noses. Shaun Johnson, the star halfback in last year's premiership-winning Toyota cup side who in 2009 was billed by none other than Andrew Johns as the next big thing, is waiting in the wings for his time to shine.
Johnson oozes potential and class and is easily the best half prospect the team has nurtured since Stacey Jones. The 20 year-old former touch player has put on over 20 kilograms since arriving at the club in 2008 and at 88 kgs is as ready as he'll ever be to face the physical rigors of first grade footy.
The time is now to blood Johnson. The Seymour experiment is an undeniable failure and must be abandoned. Johnson needs to be given the opportunity to step in next to Maloney and allowed to sink or swim. He will never be more ready than he is now. In fact, now would actually be the best time as expectations would plummet for a winless squad piloted by a green rookie, and the team would in all likelihood flourish.
Only something drastic like the Seymour/Johnson half switch can save New Zealand's campaign. The one question remaining is, will the notoriously change-averse Clearly pull the trigger in time to save not only the Warriors' season but his own job? Either way, this impending train-wreck will be compelling viewing, if not on-the-field then off it.
Field Goals-This Thursday, 3000 Newcastle Knights members will vote on Nathan Tinkler's proposal to purchase the club. Either outcome will irrevocably change the future of the club forever: March 31st is arguably the biggest day for the Knights since their founding in 1988.
The Football Gods were not unaware of this looming crossroads, and decided to give a small glimpse of the sheer terror and torment that will be callously inflicted upon the Knights if the wrong decision is reached on Thursday.
In what trainer Peter McGeoch described as the worst injury toll seen in his 21 years with the team, Knights players were dropping like flies and left the team struggling to field 13 players. Perhaps most crushingly, raw phenom Beau Henry suffered a suspected broken ankle which is likely to shelve him for the majority of the season, destroying any hopes
of strengthening the already-formidable bond he was forging with maestro Jarrod Mullen.
Just two minutes after replacing the injured Henry, former starter Ben Rogers badly dislocated his right shoulder and was forced off the paddock. With Mullen the only playmaker left standing, he fell into the 'superman' complex and tried to do far too much, instead only reverting to his inconsistent self of seasons past.
But virtually any half in Mullen's position would have fell into the same trap, especially when you consider his leading candidate for assistant controller, fullback Shannon McDonell, had left with concussion. Not to mention his best front-rower Richie Fa'aoso: heavily concussed and wobbling like a punch-drunk prizefighter. Or Cameron Ciraldo, who tore his pectoral muscle in the 2nd spell but bravely soldiered on aware that there was literally no one on the bench to replace him.
As if this horror injury plague wasn't enough, Newcastle was penalised on a ludicrous 4 occasions for scrum infractions, causing many spectators to believe a game of rugby-yawnion had broken out at Brookvale. That's right folks, it got so bad for the Novocastrians they were forced to star in a quasi league/union mash-up nightmare with whistle-makers the only winner.
Yes, The Football Gods made it abundantly clear what kind of dreadful disasters will be smote upon Newcastle if the wrong decision is made this coming Thursday. The only dilemma is, they didn't actually indicate which direction they would like the vote to swing in. Talk about ambiguous!
So go forth Knights members and make your decision, understanding the enormous influence that your vote will have on appeasing or aggravating The Football Gods' disposition towards your side. I'm certainly no expert on the matter, but if I had to offer one piece of advice it would be this:
Take the road with the highest chance of leading to Bennett, for he is surely the only mere mortal whose feet the almighty Football Gods bow at.
-It seems strange that a club featuring a brand new halves pairing could be leading the competition after 3 rounds. But the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have achieved that feat and made it look relatively easy in the process.
Trent Hodkinson and Kris Keating are continuing in first grade a partnership which originated nearly a decade ago for the Cabramatta under 15s. So it's no surprise that they looked more cohesive and attuned to each other than the much more celebrated pairing of Todd Carney and Mitchell Pearce. Best of all, they realise the myriad weapons available to them and are not shy about getting them involved.
Frank Pritchard has a new lease on life. Wisely, young Keating is almost forcing the ball onto Frank the Tank with the goal of giving the damaging backrower early ball in space. Because the halves do such a nice job of involving him, Pritchard's Penrith days of floating aimlessly through many matches due to lack of involvement may be a thing of the past.
Hodkinson is doing similar things down the right side with emerging superstar Jamal Idris. Now with his handling issues ostensibly a thing of the past after offseason eye surgery, the sky is the limit for Idris. An sky blue jumper surely beckons if Hodkinson keeps feeding him with precision chip-bombs and early passes that isolate Jamal in space, giving him ample opportunity to pick and choose a defender to run rampant over.
Not only have the Doggies solidified their halves and edges but Aiden Tolman, a carbon copy of ex-prop Ben Hannant, is averaging 66 minutes a game after only averaging a criminal 45 minutes at Melbourne last year, no doubt Bellamy's way of punishing the defector. And he's pumping out a gargantuan 20 carries and 35 tackles a game, really paving the way for youngsters like Sam Kasiano to focus on adding quality not quantity to the forward pack.
And Ben Barba, the original X-Factor, is back at his favoured position of fullback and is obviously relishing playing off the back of such skillful edge-weapons and halves. He is frequently seen sniffing around the back of the ruck, waiting for a ball to be popped his way. Yesterday, his first two tries came from the unlikeliest of providers: reserve backrower Corey Payne. But it goes to show that Barba will be in support no matter who is taking the ball up, it's just a matter of the runner freeing his arms and getting the pill to him.
-This column would be remiss not to mention what is undoubtedly the best thing to happen to Rugby League this season. No I don't mean that Irish backpacker rescued by the Hayne-Seaplane. I'm talking of course about the Cronulla Sharks!
You can't help but be amazed by Cronulla's last two games. A home win on Monday night vs a high-flying archenemy was one thing, but to then follow it up 5 days later with a champagne display of free-flowing yet flawless footy...Wow. Just, wow.
Any true fan of rugby league (Dragons fans excluded) who tells you he doesn't have a soft spot in his heart for the Sharkies doing well this year is either lying through his teeth or dead inside. After the way they were endlessly mocked and disregarded all offseason and stuck with the wooden spoon before a ball had been kicked, it would be the best advertisement for our sport if Cronulla were to emerge as a..*don't say it loudly or you might jinx it* top 8 team.
But as the old saying goes "one's a point, two's a trend, and three's a pattern". The Sharks just need one more convincing performance this Sunday in Owen Delany Park, Taupo in a "home" game vs the Warriors.
While the Warriors will surely be brimming with bounce-back factor after 3 consecutive terrible performances, the Sharks will have had 8 days elapse since their last match so it will be very interesting to see if they can maintain their new-found momentum.
If they can defeat a desperate New Zealand side, 3 consecutive victories will give them huge self-belief and leave them sitting pretty entering a 4 game stretch vs Manly, at Newcastle, vs North Queensland and at Souths taking them into their Week 9 bye.
It's not unreasonable to assume Cronulla will win at least 2 of those relatively easy 4 games. But it all starts this week over in New Zealand, where the Sharkies have to create a pattern of performance. If they can come away with a victory, we may be building towards something magical. If they get blown out and things spiral out of control in that patented Cronulla fashion...well all this whispering about the top eight seems as ridiculous as it would have before the season.
Fantasyland-It really was one of those awful rounds that makes a fantasy owner think "Why do I play this again?"
Whether it was Farah letting Lui play a more natural halfback role thus diminishing his own stats or Stagg looking set for another 50+ score before getting his bell rung on a wicked double-hit or Orford putting up an absolute stinker vs the Tigers, no one was immune from the wrath of atrocious scores this week.
Some tough decisions have to made on players like Farah, whose days as a Cam-Smith type gun have almost certainly come to an end. The only question remains: do you cut your losses and send him packing on the Tuesday Morning Trade Express or ride out his sizable price drop and pray for a Lui form slump?
-Lewis Brown has been one of the few bright spots for the Warriors this season. Likewise for fantasy owners, he is one of the only attractive options in an inconsistent side. He is guaranteed to get good minutes because his teammates feed off his high levels of energy and enthusiasm.
At 185k-190k he is an excellent buy in the centre/wing position if you want a guy with great byes who will consistently score you 30 points a week.
-Ben Smith presents an interesting conundrum for Dream Team owners. He played the full 80 minutes vs Souths, making 41 tackles (2nd only to Hindmarsh). The issue was despite his high work rate in defense he was non-existent on offense with just 40 metres. Not to mention he missed 5 tackles and made 4 errors, including 2 careless forward passes from dummy half that caused Phil Gould to berate him repeatedly with the "Lazy" tag.
He is worth monitoring for the next 2 weeks to see what Kearney decides to do, whether it's put him back to the bench, leave him starting over Horo or even kick him down to the NSW Cup with the Wenty Magpies for a week or two.
-At present in Dream Team, Beau Henry is owned by 23% of fantasy owners while Albert Kelly is owned by a mere 7%. Expect those numbers to flip in the next couple of weeks after Henry's tragic broken ankle yesterday and Kelly's breakout 45 score vs Penrith.
While it will cost about 30k to upgrade from Henry to Kelly, expect the vast majority of serious fantasy owners to find a way to make it happen.
The Award Section
Studs of the WeekBenji Marshall
The Tigers are missing key contributors such as Ellis, Fulton, Gibbs and now Lawrence and Tuqiri, but one man continues to pull them through. In fact, save for Benji, Chris Heighington and young debutante Aaron Woods, the whole Tigers team has been decidedly poor.
Benji has been quietly dragging them on his back: in 3 games he's totaled a crazy 7 try-assists and 8 line-break-assists. This Tigers team would struggle to score 10 points a game without him.
It hasn't been talked about as much as the Mullens or Forans, but that's because we've almost come to expect such greatness from Benji these days. He willed his team to
victory over the Raiders with a dazzling display that left Andy Raymond speechless and the Leichhardt faithful jubilant.
Albert KellyLast season, in a rainy round 3 encounter vs the Rabbitohs, Kelly made an inauspicious start to his NRL career. Being played out of position by coach Ricky Stuart, the makeshift fullback was peppered with towering Sutton bombs all night long. Understandably, the kid had a shocker committing 4 errors and was a major reason Cronulla went down 30-8.
Last Saturday, Kelly held his official coming-out party at the expense of the Penrith Panthers. Playing at his natural five-eighth role, he overshadowed fellow half Wade Graham with a wonderful exhibit of running, passing, and kicking, all at or near the line, and even snagged an intercept and got in on 22 tackles.
Make no mistake, Graham may handle the majority of plays due to his proximity to the ruck, but if the Sharks are to conjure up a little more magic, it will be off the back of Albert Kelly.
Duds of the Week
Corey PatersonIt wasn't just his lethargic 15 tackles (4 missed) in 80 minutes. Or his paltry 36 metres gained.
It was hanging his captain Jarrod Mullen out to dry, the man he is supposed to personally protect, by letting him attempt to solo-tackle the barnstorming Will Hopoate on the goal-line.
Paterson actually stepped away from contact on the Hopoate try which put Manly up a commanding 16-6 at the half.
Matt CecchinHonestly, Chicken Legs Cecchin was just one of numerous appalling referees this weekend. After one great week to open the season followed by a so-so display in week 2, the officiating in week 3 was nothing short of hideous. Every game had at least one revolting call in it, many 3 or 4.
Cecchin 'wins' the award because he set the tone in the opening 5 minutes of the round. To begin he called a sublime Hayne double-cut-out pass forward, despite it easily being a candidate for pass of the year to-date.
A couple minutes later, he called double-movement on a would-be Taniela Lasalo try that Gould summed up perfectly: "I don't think he could've AVOIDED scoring"
These blunders are actually shameful and a huge blight on the Greatest Game of All. They are an arbitrary pox which colossally sway match outcomes when they should be decided by the 26 players on the field, not the four men in pink.
Parramatta were undeniably robbed blind of 2 tries on Friday night, who knows how the game would have finished if the Eels had taken an early 8-0 or 12-0 lead? The issue has reached epidemic proportions and drastic action must be taken.
Quote of the Week"That's terrible alright! He's in my Dream Team!"
Peter Sterling, upon realising that Isaac Luke has been knocked out cold and will likely miss the rest of the game.
Who I like tonightThe Cowboys will certainly put up a better showing then the egg they laid last week at Dairy Farmers vs the Knights, but will it be enough to halt a rampaging Storm side seemingly destined for an undefeated showdown vs the Bulldogs in week 4? My money says no: Storm by 8.
