With the Warriors' season falling apart there's a lot of focus on coach Brian McClennan.
That's only natural. But I think people should look at the big picture. I added up the number of caps of the players who were missing the other day and it came to more than 600. That's a massive chunk of experience for any team to lose.
The strategy at the club has been to promote the young talent from within. I'm a huge fan of that. It's vitally important for the game in this country that it continues. But when you factor in all the injuries this season it has meant that the club has had to rely more heavily than it would have wanted to on young players, and some players have been promoted earlier than would have been ideal.
That has affected the balance of the side and the results have been there for all to see.
I can cop last week's loss. Manly are a great side and they've done that sort of thing to lots of teams. They are relentless. But there have been plenty of other similar results this season from the Warriors and the pattern has been the same. They dominate matches for long periods but fail to finish teams off. To me that is down to inexperience. The young Warriors aren't ruthless enough and time and again it comes back to haunt them.
