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

[Sir Galahad]

It's easy to say play with heart and passion but I truly believe the players don't know their roles out there and where they should be etc.

If you're confused out there then it makes it a whole lot harder to put that effort in.

So yeah I basically agree with you. If they all had a simple plan and focus and knew their individual roles it would be so much simpler to rip in and give ourselves a much better opportunity.

they are so lacking in confidence that individually they look physically uncoordinated.

 

[Sir Galahad]

it's laughable but even worse, the club continues to applaud mediocrity.

read through the forum, so do the fans.

I read just today that Kurt Mann plays well at lock ffs

O’Brien: “Keep it simple, don’t try to be too fancy.”

Yep, sounds plausible.

 

[Sir Galahad]

Well you have to ask, have the coaching staff got anyone playing at or above the potential? Genuinely? Any player?

no

2 questions.

1. Was that the half time speech?

2. Was that us being fancy in the first half?

Raiders have decided to play down to our level in this second half. Should make things exciting for the fact we'll be in it (on the scoreboard) until the 70th minute.

Why are we playing Gags on the right again?

 

[Jono078]

Nice offload by Elliott. will be useless here in when there won't be support within 10m of him.

 

[Jono078]

Tuala can't defend, like at all, on the right.

 

[Tom155]

No knock on there

 

[perverse]

Tuala can't defend, like at all, on the right.

Ah yes, but he's a dynamo in defence on the left. Weakening one side to be slightly less weak on the other.

 

[Seage]

Our absolute ineptitude unfairly rewarded with a penalty.

 

[Tom155]

Wtf was that?

Raiders dumb let us off the hook

 

[Jono078]

Ah yes, but he's a dynamo in defence on the left. Weakening one side to be slightly less weak on the other.

That's it mate, that's the gameplan.

 

[Tom155]

Easy sin bin

Dumb late cheap

 

[K-Man]

Let us enjoy us butchering the chance with a man up.

 

[Jono078]

Please tell me Croker grounded this.

I've seen too many squandered this year..

 

[Tom155]

Croker!! Actually capitalising on an opportunity wtf is this lol

I couldn't disagree more. You're essentially describing the job of a head coach and then saying he's not responsible. Motivation, leadership, energy, enthusiasm, effort, organisation: these are precisely the things the coach should take ownership of, and if he can't influence these things positively, he's not an NRL coach.

What coach have we had since Mal Reilly has been able to coach above the culture of the club?

The squad has been short all year two halves and a hooker. How does he coach our halfback and captain leaving in January? How does he coach our hooker getting a 9 month injury?

If you can’t see our depth is woefully shallow, it’s going to take some time to fix that and ditching the coach now isn’t going to fix that.

It’s the same old bullshit with this forum. Sack Pearce last year - where has that got us? Sack AOB now - where will that get us?

Whitehead can use his 10 minutes in the bin to have a nice soapy bath the filthy Pommy b*stard.
