We'll start on a positive note, because positivity makes the world spin. While watching yesterday's loss to Melbourne, on Anzac Day, I had a eureka moment. Taking my appreciation for Charlie Gubb further, I decided to start using 'gubb' in my everyday vocabulary.

First of all, Charlie Gubb is a rip-snorter of a footy player. There's no fluff, just straight up rugged footyness oozing through his veins which points to some obvious uses of 'gubb'.

'Watch out, he's gonna gubb you'

'What gubb should we get?'

'Stop gubbing bro'

'Oi ya gubb'

'Feeling gubb, feeling great, how are you?'

'The Warriors got gubbed'

'I hope Simon Mannering's lip/face is all-gubby'

It's versatile, suits our kiwi nature and it sounds funny. Spread the word (gubb) and have a laugh because right now, we all need a laugh ... unless you laughed at the Warriors' expense, then you'd be sick of laughing.

On a glorious Anzac Day, part of a glorious Anzac weekend of NRL footy, our Warriors failed in their quest to represent our side of the Anzac deal with pride. Forget the loss, forget the 2 points because if the Warriors played their best footy yesterday they would have probably still lost as the Storm looked as slick as they have done all season. The loss doesn't upset me because my NRL expertise allows me to understand that there's some very, very good teams in the NRL right now, teams who would be a Warriors team firing on all cylinders.

What was upsetting and points to far trickier issues, once again bringing up the 'culture' discussion was the manner of the Warriors' performance. We expect our Warriors to make us proud with their effort, enthusiasm and determination every game, let alone on Anzac Day when you are no longer just representing your club and the fans. Anzac Day means you are playing in honour of all those wonderful people who paid the ultimate price, for us.

After the loss to Manly, I asked y'all if you were proud of the Warriors. The Warriors weren't overly bad that day, they just didn't conduct themselves in a way that I would like, hence they didn't make me proud. Yesterday's thrashing obviously didn't make me proud of the team and I found that I questioned my pride in the club as I pondered our club's future.

I try steer clear of being over dramatic about the Warriors as the day to day fan and the bandwagon fans both have a habit of being over dramatic. We can't ignore the stench from yesterday though as there was a clear disconnect between players and coaching staff, along with the absence of any leadership.

A low key issue that has plagued my Warriors coverage was crystal clear last night. The Storm's attack has been faulty of late but last night they turned in on against a woeful Warriors defence and I once again found myself envious of how fun it is to watch another team attack, when I should be enjoying the Warriors throw the footy around, flourishing in their natural footy gifts.

The Warriors have looked very rigid in attack for about a year now and unfortunately Tuimoala Lolohea paid a heavy price for this lame attack, which was easily read by the Storm. Suliasi Vunivalu likes to fire off his line and did so twice, once absolutely smoking Lolohea and he was able to do so because he's rather quick, but also because the Warriors attacking moves lack any creativity or imagination.

Note: Ponder the following tweet and why the Storm signed these two blokes and the Warriors never did.

That burden falls upon coach Andrew McFadden and the disconnect between McFadden and his players doesn't reflect well on McFadden. The players have a lot to answer for themselves but we know that the players tend not to wear the full force of being shit, usually the coach just gets the flick.

Have the Warriors got better under McFadden? No.

If McFadden was on thin ice before, we might as well get Geoff Toovey or Ivan Cleary on the phone now. Psst ... I would absolutely love it if Toovey was the coach of the Warriors.

However, what embarrasses me the most about the Warriors, is that our club is that club that just can't get things right. We've never consistently been at the top and any time we've made it to a Grand Final, we have all seen the Warriors then revert back to type. That sucks and it's come with constant change in the coaches box; for all of McFadden's inability to do much so far, I really want to be patient because giving a coach the flick has been a staple of a horrible 20 years of Warriors existence and it's never worked.

While I've questioned many decisions made by McFadden, it's 50/50 between McFadden and the players. Only two Warriors players (two!!!!) ran for over 100m last night, one was David Fusitua who was the Warriors' best player and the other was Bodene Thompson. Jesse Bromwich, Tim Glasby, Kevin Proctor, Tohu Harris, Dale Finucane and Nelson Asofa-Solomona all made over 100m and only Thompson (who also missed 5 tackles) from our 'big' forward back could muster those numbers?

It was cool that Fusitua got to play fullback, this kid goes alright and I guess if there is a positive from last night's game, it's our depth in the backs. This is being written just before the teams are named for this weekend's games so who knows what Lolohea's knee is up to, the Warriors were effectively on their third-string fullback and Fusitua isn't a bad third-string fullback.

Are we satisfied by the leadership in this group? Ryan Hoffman's captaincy hasn't exactly been impressive thus far and instead of bringing some Melbourne Storm vibes to the Warriors, we've gone in the opposite direction. The proof is in the pudding and that applies to Thomas Leuluai as well. We keep hearing how important these blokes are but all I see is horrible performances, you do the math.

I'm not exactly convinced that Issac Luke is any sort of leader.

I'm not exactly convinced that the Warriors' older, more experienced players actually make this team better.

I'm not exactly convinced that McFadden is a long-term coaching super-star, he does have a chance to rectify a few issues however. The first problem is that the following players aren't in the Warriors NRL side and after a loss like that, McFadden must surely give Albert Vete, Shaun Lane, James Gavet, Jazz Tevaga, Konrad Hurrell and even young half Ata Hingano a run.

The Warriors can't get worse than this, so let's see some kahunas from McFadden, let's see him ruffle a few feathers and shake the joint up.

Or else we'll be looking at our 5th coach in as many years ... and the cycle will just start again.
