Do we have the squad

[Poupou Escobar]

Pretty hard to go forward off the bench, dont you think.

4 props on the bench, get that through your thick skull.

Did they start on the bench or were they brought off for being useless?

How's your thick skull going?

There is nothing wrong with our pack. We are not the worst squad in the league.

Sick of all the excuses.

 

[lingard]

Just cause we for there doesn't mean we looked like winning on the day.
In both of those games we were shot ducks by half time and while we switched on in the second half we never liked like winning the games within the eighty minutes.

So what? What is your point, exactly?

TT 15min
Allgood 19min
Mannah 40min
Fui 40min
Poore 40 min

None of these forwards made more than 100m, but fui and mannah came close.

Maybe with a bit more game time, there stats will be a little more impressive.

So if super coach thinks mannah can only go 40 minutes, and allgood 19, why dont we move them along as well.

If the game plan is mixed up a little, maybe our forwards can start winning the battles.

Ignore him. He`s just trolling.

Simple really, I think we have had either nothing better than an average squad for a long time, or we have gotten to the point where we do actually have a losing culture in the club.

Could it be that the problems are with the players and not with the ability of the coaches we
tried for the last 13 years?

For a merkin that whinges whenever you see the word 'stats', you might understand this: their stats have nothing to do with it - it's their slow play-the-balls that are killing us.

So if super coach thinks mannah can only go 40 minutes, and allgood 19, why dont we move them along as well.

Mannah had a decent game. He's easily our best forward every week, and 40 minutes are spot on considering the amount of work he gets through.

Allgood is a young bloke who is mostly in the team for his defence at this stage. His play-the-balls aren't too bad (except when they go sideways) but his metres are a bit ordinary. He plays limited minutes because there are more effective players that should be on the field ahead of him.

Expect Allgood to play more minutes if we ever have a lead to defend.

If the game plan is mixed up a little, maybe our forwards can start winning the battles.

If you can't notice how our gameplan changes every week then there's no helping you.

You only call it trolling because you can't keep up, you silly old merkin.

Well we have had 5 coaches in the last 13 years. 2 of those coaches got us to a grand final with an 'average squad', 1 got us to the gf qualifier with an 'average squad' and another got us to the semi finals with an 'average squad'.

The other coach has got us to 3rd last and currently last with an 'average squad'.

Seeing as though the other coaches got some pretty good results with average squads , I'd say the biggest problem is with the current coach

You mean those games that were over at halftime?

10-0 in the 2009 GF = the game was over at halftime
