Warriors coach Andrew McFadden has defended his decision to start wing Jonathan Wright ahead of Tui Lolohea and says there are areas of the young rookie's game that need improvement. "We know how good Tui is and it won't be long before he's back in the side that's for sure but it's a decision we felt we needed to make for the team and Tui." And when you're running flat-stick trying to go for the corner, that's the last place you want the ball delivered. The loss saw the Warriors drop to currently occupy 11th spot on the NRL ladder, and now look ahead to next Saturday's home match against the Gold Coast. McFadden is aware that Wright is perceived as having limited attacking ability but felt some of the criticism directed towards him was off the mark.
