I just watched Sieb's get interviewed by Kent and Ikin on NRL 360 and I must admit I like what I saw. He is not only well spoken but also seems to have a deep understanding of both the game and the players.
Some points I took out:
1. He pointed out that although our effort has been great, we have let ourselves down by being ranked 15 for penalties conceded and 12 for errors. IMO this has cost us at least one more win.
2 He pointed out an amazing stat that even though we have had less possession in 4 out of 5 games we are number 1 for metres gained in the comp. This says to me if we can fix up the penalties and errors the sky is the limit.
3. He wants our ball players to have their hands on the footy more and play what they see and they regularly practice this. I like what I see of this already and think it will improve as the play makers get more confidence.
4. He stated he takes full responsibility for our defensive philosophy and effort. No debating with players. I love this.
5. In attack he said that Furner is responsible under instruction from him, but he also wants input from the players. He gave an example about this weeks game where he wants players to talk to him about whether the roosters jam in our spread in attack and how we can counter this. I love that he is making players more accountable for their decisions and the game plan. This can only benefit us in the long run.
6. He makes the players simulate all these scenarios at training.
7.He's stopped reading or watching all media so he doesn't second guess himself.
As a 44 year old Rabbitoh's fan, I was initially disappointed to see Madge sacked. He was the Messiah who brought us into the promised land. I will always love Madge. However, I have come around to the idea that we needed change and Sieb,s is the man to bring us that.
Love to hear your thoughts, Stan
