HERE at the Warriors we know the six weeks in front of us will make or break our season but we still have faith.

There’s been plenty of talk about the future of Andrew McFadden and some of the selections through the season but internally we know we’re on the right track and can still have a big say on how 2016 plays out.

But first, let me set the record straight on some of the biggest talking points surrounding our club right now.

A TOUGH CALL ON TUI

Round 20

Tui Lolohea is a freak of a kid.

He’s one of the most exciting young guys in the game at the moment I think.

A lot is being made of his limited game time of late and I can understand why it might be hard to fathom from an outside perspective.

I think his versatility is actually making it hard for Cappy to find a spot for him in the side.

It sounds strange, but when you’ve got a guy who is equally capable of playing at fullback, outside backs, or in the halves, it can be harder to pick him than to leave him on the bench.

The form of guys like David Fusitua and Ken Maumalo mean its hard to push anyone out of the side.

Cappy has a lot of faith in Tui and really does believe in him.

At the moment he’s playing an impact role for us off the bench and that’s just where the dice have landed.

Cappy believes that’s where Tui can best serve the team and we all respect Cappy’s decisions.

We all know how good a player Tui is and he knows it in himself.

He will be playing alongside me in the halves next season. You’ve heard it here first.

With Thomas Leuluai moving on at the end of this season the No. 6 jumper will be Tui’s for as long as he wants it.

With the spine we’ll line up in round one 2017 — Issac Luke, myself, Tui, and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck — the expectation will be greater than ever.

It’s up to us to deliver on it.

A HELPING HAND FOR CAPPY

It’s been a tough season at times and Andrew McFadden has been right at the forefront, copping more than his fair share of criticism along the way.

I have no doubt he was feeling the heat with some of the media reports going around, but he made sure to keep a happy environment at training for the betterment of the team.

A great move from the club in that respect was bringing in Graham Henry.

‘Ted’ has been a fantastic addition.

He’s the first to admit he doesn’t know much about rugby league, but the wealth of knowledge he brings from a general sporting and organisational background is invaluable.

He comes from a successful environment and he knows how successful sporting clubs are run.

It’s not like he has to hold anyone’s hand or kick us up the bum.

But I’ve seen little changes in Cappy and little changes in the way we go about things that Ted has brought to the club.

He’s sat down with our leadership group a couple of times and we’ve talked about how we go about things on and off the field.

After a disappointing couple of years it’s refreshing to put a new perspective on things.

BREAKING THE CYCLE

We’re sitting ninth on the NRL ladder which is frustrating, because we feel we are playing better footy than our position suggests.

Losing three extra-time games in the past four weeks has certainly taken its toll. If we win those three we suddenly find ourselves in the top four.

We have a real chance of qualifying for finals this year but we’re going to have to start winning these close games if we want to break the drought.

It’s nothing to do with luck. I don’t really believe in luck when it comes to rugby league.

We train during the week and do our homework to prepare ourselves for every situation.

It’s such a competitive season and we’re doing well to get ourselves in the position to win those games, but we let ourselves down at the final hurdle.

I’d be lying if I said the amount of travel doesn’t take its toll on the playing group, but we can’t make that an excuse for our performances.

The fact of the matter is we need to be beating teams like Manly and Canberra if we can be considered a premiership threat.

Within the group we know what we are capable of.
