Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Canberra @ GIO Stadium Canberra, Bruce

[Sir Galahad]

I genuinely do not know what our coaching staff believes our philosophy is as a team. When we have the ball, what are we actually trying to do? We don't play with dominant halves, we don't play with ball playing forwards who interchanges passes, we don't focus around the ruck, we don't aim to get quality ball to our wide players, we don't build pressure with repeat sets, we don't throw the ball around but we also don't complete well or keep the mistakes down. We just turn up and run around a bit, get beaten and talk about our effort areas in the press conference.

100%

I've been fairer than most on Randall this year but man his delivery is just awful.

I truly believe Brailey will make a bigger impact on us than I ever expected.

Raiders are onto their 3rd or 4th string hooker and he's bloody fantastic.

We are so bad

 

[Seage]

Just no one with any clue what they're doing in attack. And the dipsy Tuala coughs it up.

Gagai has sadly gone back to his former self

Poor efforts there

 

[Frederick]

No awareness

No care factor

No heart from any of them

It was painfully obvious they didn't want to fight after their first bit of adversity.

"Ah well, not our day - again".

I would so much rather watch a team come with attacking intent, making mistakes while trying to play some creative football. We make stupid errors anyway. At this point I would throw out the whole pathetic AOB game plan and say "offload at every possible opportunity and see if we can turn it into a basketball match". Because we really can't do anything else properly, it's not as if we will actually be able to tough out a physical contest.

Our F/A up to -190 atm

at nearly 27 we know what we get with him - Sub NRL level

I've never been more disillusioned with this team. I mean that. We've never looked worse imo and I know that's a huge statement.

 

[Bartwah]

Cancelled my membership last week. Shouldn’t get as invested as I do, but these bastards have been continuously ruining my weekends for 10+ years. At least the teams during the wooden spoon years were capable of trying

 

[Sir Galahad]

no agro, these blokes arent up for a fight and are just being bitch slapped here.

Shame on them.

No leaders in the team, our focus in recruitment has to be leadership

This is why I was so disappointed in his signing. Was just a matter of time.

 

[K-Man]

It's become embarrassing. We are not even in the same league as the second tier of teams.

I don't care what anyone says at this point, this level of incompetence IS a coaching problem. Most of the teams that make us look inept and inferior are not even that flash themselves on paper. I don't look at this Raiders team missing Wighton and feel intimidated. The reason the Raiders started heavy favourites and will smash us is simply because they play better football; but it's not because they have an endlessly superior group of players.

A good coaching staff would get plenty more out of the same team. Imagine Brian Smith with the likes of Ponga, Milford and a few rep forwards at his disposal.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

How bad must the ingrained culture be at the Newcastle Knights that no matter how many things change, everything stays the same.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

At this point I'm hoping for a monumental annihilation. Like 80-0 or something that will definitively see AOB's head roll. 30-0 won't be enough.

 

[Jono078]

That was quite the pass by Clune...

 

[Seage]

Adam Clune has really justified his selection
