The players didnt pull their fingers out, McGregor has openly said he was overcoaching the team and has let them play more freely and what they see not set to structures in attack, he has concentrated on defense and let the players worry about the attack (to a degree)
TMM is a prime example of overcoaching, the structures are set you can see it a mile off, when it breaks down he continues through with the play, rushing kicks, pushing passes, instead of playing whats in front of him.
The coaching is terrible, everyone saw it at the Broncos, Griffin had a good first year then a steady decline over the next 3 years, their play became boring and predictable, opposition were able to adjust to the attacking structure of 3 hit ups spread it wide, bring it back to the centre for another hit up then bomb, I think they call it the Matthew Elliott brand of coaching.
Team selections are pathetic, Hiku, Leota on the bench, Browne.. pfft, Everyone thought Tim Sheens had lost his marbles when he had Lawrence on the bench, we have Griffin doing the same with Hardaker and Hiku. The entire fan base can see it, the team list was put up and almost everyones shoulders dropped as if we were consigned to defeat before a ball was kicked, Kikau and either CHN or akauola need to be on the bench. Yesterday was the worst bench in the NRL, with the players that we have at our disposal thats a disgrace.
