Can someone find where the scarcrow bagged previous coaches about us be being weak or soft . We have gone backwards in defence ! Yes we have won more games then last year but dont forget we played BORING TAYLOR BALL and wouldnt beat shite with that 5 and mid field bomb crap.
Some starch in the side is what is needed , Tapow , Brown etc that have our opponents worried in attack and defence not cookie cut Workers like Lolrence , Lovett , Edwards and co.
Fancy shit only wins x amount of games. Then the rest of the teams go on to play to win the premiership
I don't think we do that much fancy shit. If anything I think the players you mention are players that don't have an impact.
I reckon we need to focus on getting a pack that really gets us going forward and we need a quality hooker. I think Dene was great but he is gone and he was never an 80 minute hooker. We also need to get rid of Rankin. We need a gun winger. Having a back 3 who are like forwards in getting you going forward and that can score tries makes a huge difference.
Then I think our backline may really look good and we can win some games.
As for defence I think what JT said was simply stupid. We played that dumb Taylor ball and lost games and then when we started winning by playing attacking footy we gave up too much ball in attack and our defence didn't handle it.
The worst thing about JT is that I don't think he has really helped the team out at all. Moses came on this year and he looks great. ET had his moments. Woods improved. I think that is about it though. I also think as a team we didn't really develop. Our defence definitely didn't improve and it wasn't just that right edge. I don't think our attack improved either. When we didn't play Taylor ball our attack was good and we had some good plays but we still turned over the ball too much especially against Canberra which was a pivotal game.
