Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[Gary Gutful]

FFS. You could have just said this 4 hours ago and saved my phone plenty of battery!!

No fun in that.

Anyone remember the time we beat the Crushers with a 23% completion rate?

Crushed them

True. This discussion got me out of plenty of work today.

 

[El Diablo]

Haha, no that is a comedy about watching DiCaprio drowning.

he froze to death like all the others in the water

I have no words.

Well you've got at least four

Well then you should also be considering punting Moses. Those attacking stats are very poor.

I watched the replay again this morning, I'm starting to think we overrate both our halves, the only thing saving us was how shitty the dogs halves were

Yep. They have both been ordinary over the course of the season. My point is they should both share the blame.

Also I think the encouragement Moses gives his teammates is the type that makes them want to punch him in the face.

Of course but it is because completions should mean you are executing the skills at a high level not because you are playing to complete sets.

If I am wrong about that (and it is possible I am) then rugby league is a stupid sport.

Best form of defense is attack. With an 8 point lead we went back into our shell and Dogs looked good. Any moron can coach a team to do 5 hit ups and kick chase. Sure it may beat some bottom clubs but not the good ones. You need to take risks.

The better the side your playing the higher the risks. This doesn't just improve your chances of scoring but also puts them off. All of a sudden they do not know what is coming. Causes confusion.
By playing the percentage game it lets the opposition know whats coming. All of a sudden they are prepared.
Remember in rnd 1 how panthers just gave us a 14 point lead then hit the go button. Blew us off park afterwards.
Playing boring predicatable footy wont win games. Of course high risk footy comes at a risk but also gives a chance to win.
I reckon we have a few more belting had we played higher risk footy but certainly more wins as well.

We should make our KPIs that there should be 2 offloads minimum per set , and a chip and chase every 2nd set no matter where on the paddock

Lets mix it up and start piling on the points...

Three mousetrap plays every game
One flying V
No one is allowed to take a tackle before three passes have been thrown
Any player making fewer than two flick-passes per match is immediately dropped to Ron Massey Cup

Good effort on sitting through that 80 mins again. Couldn't sit through that again.

Moses has really dropped off especially since his injury in fact i would say norman has played better in the last month then moses and even then norman hasn't been much chop.

All that nearly sounds as ludicrous as having nothing but the bomb in your play book.

Wait who are we sacking now ? Coach Moses Norman FMD I've lost track sorry.

Things have come a long way since the "sack tim mannah" days .... we have options now

Hey OA,
I had a quick Google search and couldn’t find that positive contributions tweet you mentioned. .

I looked up some negative contributions though. Norman touches the ball about 20% more than Moses so you would assume he would make more errors. No. The error count for 2018:

Norman 15 errors
Moses 22 errors

Also explains why his stats are 10% better ... oh hang on, only 10% better

Just joking .... they both have their moments of sucking dogs balls this year
