1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: Even for a person who's been watching the Warriors for 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: over a quarter of a century. Now you are delving 3 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: well into the memory banks to remember a mess like 4 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: the one that unfolded Saturday night, sixty six six thrashed 5 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: by the bottom of the table Titans. Officially it equals 6 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: the worst loss in the Storm a couple of years ago. 7 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: Former Keevy Richie Barnet's back with us on all of this. Richie, 8 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: morning to you, Good morning, right. I was expecting to 9 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: come back in the second half, like we've seen it before. 10 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: We play like crap in the first half. Somebody tunes 11 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: them up at halftime. You come back and there's a 12 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: bit of something there, and there was nothing. What they 13 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: hell went wrong? 14 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: Holy? I was actually at the game. Really difficult to see, 15 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: but you could just see that the energy levels actually 16 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 2: were just a little way short. I felt that it 17 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: just wasn't happening. I think their directness was poor, obviously. 18 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: The leaking of points through the middle on the edges 19 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 2: was just embarrassing. Actually, and we were just the whole crowd. 20 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 2: There would have been about SEVENTI deceve of the crowds. Yeah, 21 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: so they had homeground, just believe it or not, but 22 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: they just didn't show up and it was just awkward 23 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: to watch. It was frustrating, and people would to support it. 24 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: How do you explain that given they played so well 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: mainly this year, then they went into their slump, then 26 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: they came back, and now they do this. I mean, 27 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: these are serious players, that Johnson and Harris and those guys. 28 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: These are seasoned professionals who must know that part of 29 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: the job is to turn up and turn on. 30 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: There are so many questions that need to be asked, surely, 31 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: Like I just don't understand how a side can show 32 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: so much effort and what they've done in the last 33 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: couple of years and then show up to a game 34 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: where they just got destroyed by Tim actually put on 35 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: their best performance ever it a long time. They've had 36 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: the wobble season for a long time. They put on 37 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: a show that was just extraordinary football. But Matt's by 38 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: a side that just couldn't contain, couldn't provide the effort 39 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: every facet of the gamecuse he was poor. 40 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: I feel sorry for Webster because he deserves better than that, 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: doesn't he Yeah. 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: He does, But certainly the standard of the players they 43 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: must be walking out there going what happened there? What happened? 44 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: And you know, like, obviously it's got to be down 45 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: to attitude. Surely it has to be attitude. It's got 46 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: to be attitude or believe in the hype of what's 47 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: happening around them. I don't know, but I can't put 48 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: a finger on it. But all I saw on that 49 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: day was there was a lack of energy, commitment, directness 50 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: and how they played communication, all the above, every single 51 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: layer that you can think of as a player and 52 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: as a team culture was just destroyed in one life. 53 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: Anything that could have gone wrong, did Richie nice in sight? 54 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: Not that we want to regurgitate it, but there you go. 55 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: We'll have to talk about it after eight with the 56 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: lads as well. I suspect Richie Barnett with us. 57 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast.
