hahaha wtf giving tate shyte.. now that is funny
wow if you dont think hes any good look how fast he would be signed up by another club.. ffs
tate plays with a real passion, something that a few of his mates have struggled with this year. how many times this year was tate taking the ball forward while others lazed out the back not wanting to do the hard yards. |

So your saying that tate cost the warriors 3 trys he scored 4 dumbass and get this right Tate has played many tests for the current best team in the world Auzzie he is 1 of the warriors best backs/centres the warriors have had ! ! ! ! ! So hopefully you might get it through your thick head that without Tate we wouldnt have as good of a team than without him and i think if you knew a little bit about league u might find that it is not his fault on 2 of the occations
AND IM SICK OF TELLING U DUMMY GET IT INTO UR HEAD ! ! ! ! |

Tate most consistent, reliable and hardest working center the Warriors have and I'm sure by next season he will have the speed and exposiveness he had when he was a Bronco. When that comes back he will be our best attacking center. At the moment he isn't.
Ropati made mistakes like being forced into touch a number of times this season and there were times that I thought he shouldn't be there. After you watch the highlights of the Warriors last 12 games, you will se he was the catalyst in quite a few Warrior tries in that time. And in those highlights, Ropati was not directly responsible for a single try conceded. Don't believe me, go to nrl.com and check out their vid section. You will see that Brent Tate is responsible for at least 3. He got caught out against Paramatta, Penrith and the Rabbits. So obviously you are full of $hit. |

| I was told today that the Warriors are the only club to have all three teams still playing in the finals. 20's, Vulcans and Prems. What an achievement! That sends the signal loud and clear to the NRL, and Australian Clubs, that we are building a dynasty over here that hasn't been seen before in the modern game, Brisbane included. |

| lance hohaia will be the captain of my 2011 team and the elder statesman. With a core of experienced players around him like Sam Rapira, Tuimavave and Mannering. They will provide the leadership and belief influence. |

Look dude, I'm asking about your source that claims 26 tries were the fault of Ropati. Give me a link because the daily telegraph has nothing on that you lier! Other stats that you mentioned, sure.
And if Ropati needs to work on his ball security, yet committed fewer errors than Tate, what do you suggest Tate work on, genius?
And points for and against don't matter now do they chump.
What matters now is how you play in finals football and Ropati has stepped up. Can you say the same about Tate?
Man you are as dumb as I think you are |

I might have to eat my words and suggest that maybe Cleary is the key. They have the mix right at the club right now, with a fantastic culture. This is how the Broncos have managed to keep paying players less than other clubs afford their superstars and keep that culture going. Something to think about for the future perhaps? |

| Sure Ropati is good with ball in hand, and can create something out of nothing but he is lazy on Defence when teams make breaks through his side he dosnt put pressure on support players and seems to just jog back and wait for someone else to make the tackle watch the recent St GEorge game which highlights it, once he sorts that out he will be great player, He has played very well during the 2 finals games. |

You are so full of sh**t dude. Ropati averaged 1.23 errors pg. Less than Tate. That's right. LESS than Tate! And you are mistaken when you say "hit ups"! You mean "All Runs"! Ropati averaged more Hit Ups, Tate averaged higher in the All Runs statistical catergory. All that proves is that Tate is busier which he is. And yes Tate is more reliable on defence too.
In the post season Ropati has run for over 100m in both games. Tate has yet to. Ropati has scored a try and was instrumental in creating the try that beat the Storm at the death. What has Tate done?
Ropati has a bit of an x-factor which can win games. Tate doen't and neither does Joel Moon.
And may I please have the source to your bull$hit conceded 24 tries? A link, website... please
Maybe you should check out Tate's stats for tries conceded and bad reads. He has had his share and I'm sure the number will surprise you or are you so enamoured by him that you can't see past his mistakes.
Tate is solid and busy and defensively sound (apart from the occassional misread) which makes up for his noticeable loss of pace so sure his selection is warranted and it make take time for him to fully regain what was lost after suffering what years ago was considered a career ending injury.
And as for Sonny Fai, even in his 15 appearances and limited game time (51 minutes per) he averaged an error in each hit out.
And Joel Moon is not even considered a good center in the NRL. You'd think he would at least be busier to compensate for his lack of game. The Warriors don't need him and if they keep Witt which they should, he probably won't even make the 17. He should have stayed in Brisbane
And thanking God for the signing of Joel Moon, I'm not going to say it, you go right ahead and call yourself a moron. LMFAO @ you chump |

| Jerome Ropati - who has conceded a whopping 24 tries through missed tackles and misreads. Excluding fullbacks, he's No. 1 he is so frustrating and Brent Tate is 12th on this seasons top 20 hit ups only behind 2 of the most classy backs kirt gidley and sam perret sam is number 1 in both hit ups and metres gained so i dont know why you honestly think that Ropati is better than Tate thank god we have signed joel moon i must say he isnt the best tackler but he hasnt missed as many tackles as ropati and at least we will have a centre who can catch the ball !!!!! |

You guys who don't think that Ropati is not our best center are all a bunch of morons! He has more tries, tackle breaks, try assists, line breaks, etc than Tate in the regular season and has been one of the standouts in the post season.
Jerome Ropati may have been inconsistent at times during the season but is showing none of that at the time of the season that really counts. He is proving to be a big game player and he is with out a doubt, the Warriors best attacking center!
No disrespect to Tate but since his knee reconstruction, he has not been the Tate we were accustomed to seeing when he was in a Broncos jersey. He used to leave defenders for dead if he got half a chance. Maybe that will come back with more time but definitely not as explosive as he once was. He only scored 4 tries for the Warriors this season, 2 of which were in the last game of the regular season against Paramatta. He is steady but not our best.
Anybody watch Joel Moon have his a$$ removed by Wayne Bennet last night cause the guy is all arms in a tackle. Dude was absolutely pathetic last night and to think he's comin here...
Keep Witt. His goal kicking against the Storm in which he hit 2 from wide out kept us in that game and in the end gave us a chance to win it. Every team needs a good goal kicker and Witts form, not just with the boot is good. He's solid and he defends well unlike Joel Moon who even in a knock out final doesn't want to put his body on the line.
The arrival of Denan Kemp will be exciting and his combination of fleet footwork and speed will compliment Manu's speed and power very well.
I hope the Warriors win it all not just for Reuben but for Ivan too. I remember some of you a$$holes baggin him earlier in the season. To that I say, go eat a fat one.
Good luck |
