here we go again

both of you winding each other up until one of you gets angry and accuses the other of some imagined evil

for the record kimmorleys right

and teams have a structure that is played every week and only the targets (opposition weaknesses) are changed

Ok firstly Kimmorley is dead wrong becuase the halves ARE the problem. You have your best 5/8 playing fullback for crying out loud. You have a gimp in the no7 jersey who wants to put blokes in a hospital bed. Then you have Raper's lack of a gameplan. Macca is right by the way as you do have a gameplan but most coaches change their gameplan weekly to target the opposition's weaknesses!

"However, Kimmorley refuted suggestions he didn't gel with Dykes.
"I think we've combined well every week, but people seem to be making a big issue of it," Kimmorley said."

OK, I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but does that suggest that he thinks they're partnership is improving every week they play together, since they have rejoined? Or should it simply be taken on face value, in which case it is utter ignorance.

"The former NSW and Australian halfback offered a different reason for the Shire club's recent slide, suggesting opposition defences were getting away with more in the ruck."

The day that BK and co look at themselves to find what is wrong is the day that we'll start winning games again. Too often the finger is pointed, implying that the Sharks always play well, never make mistakes or do anything wrong. If they lose 'the other team was better'. We all know this is not true, I swear they don't see anything as they look in the mirror......

"We've unfortunately had to change our style of play a little bit because we're not getting the play-the-balls we want any more ... it's open slather in the ruck," Kimmorley explained.
"That sort of slowed us down and took our effectiveness away a bit.
"We are trying to adapt to it, but when you train all off season on what you think it's going to be and mid-year things change ... that's where we are at the moment."

Coaches should have a few plan B's for this from the start. Doesn't take long to figure out how to combat a one-dimensional game plan. Just doesn't cut it with me. Every team goes through rough patches, you know it's coming, so why not have a few things ready in case, practice them and then the players know what they are doing, then it is merely a transition.

What's wrong with fighting fire with fire anyway. Nobby refers mainly to attacking problems but the fact is we are still playing goody two shoes in the ruck and are off them far too quickly. If teams are slowing us down then slow them down as well.

If anyone has access to the last 2 games have a quick squiz at how fast we get off the tackled player. Even on surrender calls.

It's not f*ckin rocket science.

Noddy thinks he can pinpoint our slide back to round whatever when the play the balls got slower or quicker or whatever.

Good try.

Truth is our slide started way back in 2005 when he got dropped from SOO 1.
We haven't been the same side since.
We fell over the line into the 8.
Got beat the first week of the semis.
Started this year losing every game except when we pipped Souths by 2 points.
Then Noddy got injured....

Hang on, blow me down me hearties, that's where we turned the corner.
so where did it all go wrong?
He recovered.

Slower ruck.....ppphhhffft!
Good try.

Wait wait...and who said he was destined for coaching? If he can't see the problem then he's not part of the solution. The hooks waitin bud.
