All we hear out of Australia is how Andrew McFadden is one of, if not the coach under the most pressure in the NRL. Leading into the season, a lot of this stemmed from the Warriors' recruits which raised expectations through the rough after an extremely average end to the 2015 season. Unfortunately for the Warriors and McFadden, Saturday night's loss to Wests Tigers picked up from where the Warriors left off last season.

Sure, the players involved weren't too flash however the Warriors problems against the Tigers and from last season reflect extremely poorly on coach McFadden. There were far too many errors with the ball and missed tackles from the Warriors, however the Warriors looked largely ineffective with their set moves and simply look behind the times in how the NRL attacks.

Far too often a Warriors player would cart the ball forward all alone, with no one there to catch an offload and get a roll on. This - which is highly frustrating - has been the case for a while with the Warriors and with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck/Issac Luke in the side, I thought this might change but we certainly didn't see Tuivasa-Sheck or Luke, or any other Warriors player charging up in support.

No support players and an offload tally of only 5 vs 8 from the Tigers. It's a bit of a chicken/egg situation, but there should always be a support player not just for the offload but because it forces the defence to pay attention to more than just the ball-carrier. Otherwise three defenders can gang up on one Warrior, slowing everything down.

Defensively, the Warriors once again failed to read plays correctly and just showed a lack of desire to work their backsides off for their team mates. The Warriors missed 40 tackles to 29 from the Tigers which tells its own story, however what was more more concerning was tries being scored back on the inside. One came via an inside pass and one came via a kick hooked back and there was also a length of the field effort, good attack but also a horrible lack of desire on defence.

In fact, James Tedesco's try off a Kevin Naiqama inside kick started with an inside chip from Mitchell Moses on the other side of the field. Twice in one play, a Tigers jokers put in the effort on the inside and won the ball instead of any Warriors players, who were watching the show.

Watching the Tigers attack, in the first-half at least only filled me with envy. They played how I want the Warriors to play, they threw caution to the wind and attacked with freedom. The Warriors look fantastic when Shaun Johnson or Tui Lolohea get the ball and a scrambled defence is in front of them, which wasn't often enough against the Tigers.

The Warriors look very average on attack when they try emulate sweeping backline moves that have been designed without much creativity. Either McFadden, Johnson, Robson and Tuivasa-Sheck need to come up with better plays, or they need to go all in on letting their hair down and simply zoning in on getting their x-factor players one on one with a scrambling defender.

Why wasn't Johnson chipping for Tuivasa-Sheck like Moses was for Tedesco?

Let 'em free! Or in McFadden's defence, the players have to be free.

We love the Warriors and CocoSina Coconut Oil. Made in Samoa from Samoan coconuts and supporting Samoan farmers!

It's a pity that guys like Sam Lisone, James Gavet and Manu Vatuvei all stood out when they ran the ball. This was because they ran with intent, they charged, they wanted to smash whoever was in front of them and they stood out because no one else really displayed that intent. Only two Warriors forwards ran for over 100 metres with Gavet running for 138m off 14 carries while Matulino ran for 119m off 13 carries, Gavet was not only more efficient (averaging 9.85m to Matulino's 9.15m per carry) he also did this in only 38 minutes to Matulino's 52 minutes.

The Warriors can't afford to have their best forwards not playing as such. Jacob Lillyman had 51m from only 7 carries and Ryan Hoffman had 90m in 12 carries while Mannering had 68m off 8 carries,which is understandable as he made 51 tackles (only player to make more than 30 tackles).

Which had me wondering why we only saw 29 minutes from Lisone, who ran how we want every forward to run. The quicker we see more of Lisone and Albert Vete the better, again this is something that McFadden controls.

Issac Luke might as well not be on the field if he's only running the ball 3 times. There's no point, Luke is a runner and the Warriors need him to run, so when he's not, anyone could be in at hooker.

Blake Ayshford and Jeff Robson weren't flash, however the only way is up. Robson's job is to do the basics - like Luke's job is to run - and so when Robson is making mistakes, not kicking accurately etc, he stands out like a sore thumb.

Poor Ben Henry. There's nothing else to say really as another knee injury for Benry sucks. It'll be interesting to see how this changes the edge-forward rotation.

Amongst all of this was Shaun Johnson or SJ6. Besides James Gavet, who was my MVP for the Warriors, SJ6 was a shining light and showed that he can carry the Warriors when needed. What excites me about Johnson is that I believe that he can hover around this level of play each and every week, then all the weapons around Johnson can chime in each week as they please.

Obviously it's better for the likes of Tuivasa-Sheck, Luke, Kata, Lolohea, Matulino, Mannering etc to all be on fire at the same time but that's the problem isn't it? At least if Johnson is consistent, then the Warriors will have a sniff in most games.

Shit defence and the Warriors picked up where they left off in 2015.

The Warriors rollercoaster continues.
