Dear Ivan Cleary.............................From Warriors Faithful?

Mate, this letter should be accompanied by a petition list of signatures from like-minded folks as you! I don't think you will have a problem finding Warriors supporters asking the same questions of Mr. Cleary. Come to think of it, maybe a letter to the Warriors board will also be needed because ultimately that is where the decision-making power lies.

Over and out!

Ok Warriors faithful, so this year has been unflattering and I agree some major changes are needed in our team. But whole sale cuts and changes are never the answer. With a couple of smart recruits and Tate back the warriors could and should improve immensely. Shaun Johnson needs to figure next year and a ball playing hard running second rower needs to be recruited. Even a gap running power play back such as Lote Tuquri along with Tate Ropati etc would set this team on fire. Its amazing how everyone else in the team picks up there game when they are winning and equally amazing how narrow minded negative fans suddenly jump back on the band wagon. Just look at St George this year. So show a bit more faith and remember no team wins everything all the time.

From

A true warriors faithful!!

Jacob Lillyman was a decent player for the Cowboys, now he is sh!t for the Warriors. Kemp was awesome for the Broncos last yr but is now crap for the Warriors. Not a good year and I think that the loss of Grant Rovelli and Michael Witt has hurt you guys.

i didnt bother reading your entire letter. mainly because i go for the panthers. but even if cleary seen your letter do you think he would listen??? i dont think he would.

i do agree that maybe its time for stacey jones to hang up the boots considering the game he played on sunday.

and blooding young players should be a priority for all clubs but that in itself isnt going to provide a winning formulae.

cleary was a damn good player but not a very good coach.

Yes len our team is truly farked this year but their season hasn't been all bad... You want a solid team that's going to process to the goods. bring back Villasante, Witt, Awen, Wiki, Toopi, Faa feli, Tookey, Lauatiti,PJ Marsh, . leave Stace, Hohaia, Price, Tate, Vatuvei, Locke and Hendo... get rid of the rest.... But in saying that they need guidance and a crackers under their bums to wake them up and smell the yucky reality! Year in year out we're the laughing stock of the comp, and I'm over that. our boys need the spirit of the game again not to go out there week in week out just to play another game just to lose. We need the spirit to go out there and kick some a.s.s week in week out. Hearty hearty Warriors supporters says that Ivan Clearly is not the only problem with our team this year the problem is lacking spirit and confidence!!!

Hearty Hearty all day everyday!

EDIT: Samwitch: Clown we have been the laughing stock for a while thank you very much! Darren Lockyer the prick wanted us kicked out of the comp because we had lost 6 consecutive games and found that our boys were not worthy! Which in turn saw us get as far as the top four... Don't you think you freak that I don't know my game mama cracker because i do thanks!! Our team is great on paper simple and plain get us out on the paddock and we're haven't been that great! Win or lose I'm hearty hearty! Don't you rock up on me and call me a moron got it opinions count up on here not uglies!!!!! Get over your shet buddy and enough with the insults! And yes there is proof listen to half the shet that comes out the commentators mouths and likes of Daley.. Mate listen to the bullshit, even our own media back home run our boys down... hearty hearty supporters we are but our team need to really wake up to themselves! Last year was a great year, but this year is new and we're playing like we're beginners!!

And by the way if you remember back when we were contenders for the minors it was becasue the Bulldogs lost all their points due to the salary cap! Some was on form but the rest was politics! 03-04

EDIT: Yeah Len Sorry wrong choice of words inconsistent is more appropriate but also laughed at!

WOW! that was utterly ridiculous.

Lets look at Kemps stats. It look him over half the season to get a try. Hmmmm lets see. A wingers job is to..... Oh yeah score tries. Kemp has 1 try. Locke, on debut, scored two tries. Followed up with another in the following game. Yes so lets bring on someone who is less effective. Great idea. Kemp is fast and may have more agility. But Locke runs better lines and can break out of tackles and also tackle himself. He did the tackle down the side line today which lead to a try but i dont blame him when with the fend he received. The other guy clearly had the size advantage. Also his effort to attempt to catch Soward on his break away was solid. He had to run another 20m to catch up and ended up giving up. The kid has burn.

Kemp has 10 more points as he has played 3 more games this season. But atleast Locke is doing his job... Scoring tries. So go look at the stats. Maybe you could go show your friends them tomorrow too, after you have finished finger painting and playing on the playground. He did well for the Broncos, average for the Warriors. Hes playing outside Ropati and Mannering (usually). Two highly offensive players. When the that winger gets the ball he needs to do his best with his, as they rarely get the ball. Not to mention he has to compete with Vatuvei for for which wing the should favour.

Bringing in Shaun Johnson now would be amateur. He has pace, he can step and he has a good boot on him for someone brought up playing touch. But look at the situations that Jones got put in today. He was getting smashed by basically the whole Dragons forward pack. He isn't use to getting hit so much. He can probably step round most backs but in first grade, the forwards have plenty of pace. He will get injured and become struggle eg Benji Marshall. He has had re-occuring injury problems. Both coming from touch backgrounds. He needs build up a few more games before he makes his debut.

Tuimavave had a serious neck injury so the Warriors brought in Royal to cover while he was out. Hes too much of a liability to have in a team with a neck injury. They have plenty of props in the Warriors side that can side play Under 20s and be called on when needed. . Wow your lack of knowledge of the Warriors shocks me for being a 'faithful'. When did you get the faith? When they started winning again? Soooo that is why Royal is signed to the team. Would you rather have the likes of Ah Mau, Retzlaff and Ta'ai on the field over Royal? You would be crazy to say yes. Finding a replacement for Royal may be a issue but not a major concern.

Lillymen is getting on and abit average but hes our defense pitbull. Brown has stepped lately but the intelligence/common sense is lacking in that one. Lillymen has pressure to perform. He isn't the greatest player around but at least he is reasonably solid when it comes to his job. Mannering attacks, Luck work horse and Lillymen is our pitbull. So meh, he does reasonably well. You could have to at least have him on the bench to cover as the rest of our replacement second rowers are very in-consistent eg the big hitting Matulino, Brown

Moon! are you kidding me? He can play a utility role in the team. If needed he can play both well. What are you complaining about? He will go back to playing 6 after Tate comes back. You do remember that we do have one of the best centres Brent Tate in the Warriors. But hes out for the season, just thought i'd let you know. So yeah lets not only screw up Shaun Johnson's game and also screw over the Under 20s who need him just so he can have some experience. If you are a Warriors fan you would know that the Toyota Cup side is 7th. They lose games. They go down. Good work buddy. You must be a seasoned Warriors supporter. Oh yeah and lets bring up Likiliki. We need another average centre to go with Ah Van and Ropati (in his current form). Ropati needs to play out of his slump and giving time to a young blood at the moment is not going to improve Ropati's performance.

Roveli did do very well for us but begun to fade. Not a huge loss now we have Jones back. Jones is amazing as he knows the Warriors/Cleary's style of play. Very limited with only the wrap commonly used but hes a legend at Mt Smart.

Witt was great. Im not arguing with you over bringing him back. But if you brought him back, he would kick the goals. Leaving no place for Kemp in the slightest. So maybe forming a good argument for someone would be good before you choose to voice it and get shut down completely.

So you should send your letter to Ivan Cleary. He will most likely laugh and i hope it gets published in some sort of literature, hopefully he writes an autobiography and includes it. Im sure he takes notice of every letter he receives from ignorant fans like yourself. You may even make the news for being the dumbest, most uneducated rugby league fan out there. Guiness may make a world record for you, I wouldn't be surprised.

P.S if you
