Pou i feel like your delusional. Have you turned blue and yellow?

 

[hindy111]

This was the side I picked if all fit before season started.

1 Gutherson
2 Bevan
3 Jennings
4 Taka
5 Hayne
6 Norman
7Moses
8 Alvaro
9 King
10 Tepai
11Manu
12Ke
13Brown
14Terepo
15Evans
16Mannah/Scott
17 T rex


If all fit that is howd id go. Open to Auvau over Taka.

Bar French,Norman,Mannah,Mau the rest are off contract.

I thought Auuva did ok. T rex showed more in 15 mins then any of our other forwards have in a long time. Moses couldn't wait to feed him the ball. He caused headaches.

But by your reckoning, trex was on when the tigers had clocked off anyway, so logically he didnt do shit just like us as a team didnt do shit

Good point and why we need larger sample sizes before we throw him an extension.just like Hayne deserves 8 more games. But even when Tigers clocked off most our other forwards did stuff all.

Btw who hired Cayless? Please dont say BA. Geesh

We scored a few late tries... At no point where we ever in thst game yesterday. I am suprised guys saw those tries as a positive. I saw them as a negative tbh. As a blindfold, oh look we didnt go to bad. If only we had more ball.....
There is little real game plan and I do not see us targeting weakness of other teams. I think we can turn it around this weekend but I wont be putting my 75% on it yet.

It’s just shuffling the deck chairs of the Titanic anyway, it doesn’t matter who we bring in if they play with the same shithouse attitude and the same boring one out tactics.

So that's the end of this year. I'd be surprised if the club made a decision eitherway on the coaching future anytime this year. Although at some point the Leagues Club board will have to get sorted out, so who knows what will happen then.

The footy club has a board and the leagues club board has nothing to do with coach recruitment. What makes you think that is relevant?

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh and I forgot awesome mid field bombs and that same boring out the back play that with have used since 2014.

The game has changed again and BA seems incapable of going with it or just stubborn.

Pou we saw our 2nd rower like T rex get early ball when chasing points and game beyond us. Prior it was one up garbage.
Other teams are getting 40/20s and forcing line drop outs. Along with penalties and errors we are not helping I agree but why aren't our halves making these plays?
At times it is poor positional play by our fullbacks or defense for giving them time and space to execute.

3 games in a row we have had 40% or less possesion. Poor footy teams make errors, it isnt unlucky ones. Guys like W.Smith who we where forced to use st fullback is a great attacking player. He never has been good under high ball and why cut from previous club. BA had the right idea for him at hooker. He may also work in the halves, granted he is only 3rd or 4th choice fullback but he cost us big time yesterday.

So you are saying that injuries cost us big time yesterday?
Are injuries the coaches fault?

LOL good morning cranky pants.

I’m looking forward to next week. Go team.

 

[selkirk]

As soon as Guth is fit and play him at 5/8. Drop Norman. Maybe if French is fit next week Smith should play 5/8 till Guth is ready. Norman gone altogether.
The club need to bring in assistants for BA. He is doing it all. Toovey would make a perfect assistant

Is gunco a chance this week?

Yay goooooooooooooo team!!!!

I reckon Toovey would be a great assistant coach tbh.
Although the media would have a field day if we approached him as assistant with all the typical headlines

Which is precisely why you would never sign a senior understudy to the coach. The media would speculate and start rumours. Massively destabilizing.

With all this talk about BA needing help, doesn't he already have 2 assistant coaches? Murphy with Grima taking on extra duties I think?

Grima was a "skills" coach last year I think, not to sure what other clubs have this role, thus it may have been justifying his role but giving him the AC role too.

Additionally all this crap about BA not willing to risk his job, didn't he/we recruit one of best defensive coaches this century in Peter Sharp (defensive coach / AC with the eels / storm / sharks when they were very strong defensively)? Yes I know he is coaching at the moment!'
