17 vs 15

Sheens new tactic seems to involve letting 2 players sit on the bench for 65+ minutes. We saw it in round 1 with Hanbury and Trimarchi, then again tonight with Galea and Hanbury. WHAT IS THE POINT? by the time they've both settled into the game, it's almost all over. Plus the other forwards who are normally interchanged get tired for having to play extra minutes.

Still, he's the supercoach.

I was ranting about this in my living room all game.

To make it worse it is also the hardest away game in the first month of the comp and still plays with 15 :crazy::crazy::crazy:

Agreed has been doing this for far to long now sheens, his use of interchange and players selected to be on it is the worst around, i think hes to old school in his use of it. How many times in years gone by were only 16 have been used often for the entire game its just crazy, especially in those humid conditions.

i heard sheens today on 702 blame the short turn around 'our players were tired which lead to them to drop balls and give away penalties'

i was screaming at the radio 'well the why the f*ck did you leave two fresh blokes on the bench for 65 minutes?!?!?!?!??!?!'

of course his media mates didnt raise this.

there will be changes next week, hanbury and galea will be dropped.

It defies belief.

Stinking hot humid weather and we only play with 15 men for 65 mins. Its liek he doesn't trust the other two blokes to get the job done when the game is in the balance.
