The last 3 premiers have had their attacking structure devised by an assistant coach.

Translation, "wait, that point does not suit my argument and proves me completely wrong. I will just post a meaningless smiley as a retort."
Have to say I agree with Vas.
When our first choice halves play I expect we will be move cohesive.
Am wondering if the players heavy training schedule has impacted on their speed. Mann indicated his legs felt heavy.
May take a couple of weeks for the players to freshen up.
I think you homies need to cease fire. Both of you are correct. the attacking coach is responsible for the attack but the head coach certainly has a lot to do with it.
Not sure why all the doom and gloom. I want the Dragons to win every competitive game whether the CS, the 9s or a competition game. Dugan, Frizzell and Thompson are 3 of the main attacking weapons.
If Benji continues to throw balls like the one where Aitken came up just short or the one where Matthews was pulled down just before Mann try and Widdop also does it on the other side. With Dugan, Frizell and Thompson hitting the holes and Mann coming through from the back. Packer and JDB continuing to make good metres creating the room to allow Benji and Widdop to do that, I'm optimistic. It looked to me like the game meant much more to Souffs. They were getting off the line much faster.
Reins dummy half passing is still a problem. Maybe McCrone and Havili is the answer. Or Marketo needs to develop that ability.
Vas, you need to stop this. I find it very disturbing that I agree with everything you say here.
Rein certainly killed much of our momentum yesterday. A few dummy half runs he made were telegraphed and that kick he put dead in goal just as were getting on a roll killed us. Add his poor showing along with the stupid drop ball and the enthusiasm of a young Souths side, you just cannot do that on hot days. It then proved nigh on impossible for the team to go on the front foot and test structures and combinations.
Poor Ol Mitch
His passing wasn't that bad in the CS.
He is suddenly almost completely responsible for an ordinary performance of maybe 20 of the 24 players trialling.
Perhaps he is a Jew and this is 1933 ?
People he is not the best hooker in the comp but he is not the worst. Just middle of the road, no more, no less.
If a much better hooker becomes available am sure the club will go for it.
Same applies to the half back position. At least Benji is a better half than Mitch is a hooker.
Coaches do have a lot of work to do with the whole team.Cs shield performance poor and we lacked in all areas.No wonder Paul McGregor was flat at interview.

Sorry, didn't mean to crush your argument so quickly...

Intensity was definitely down, not sure what to make of that? The only excuse I can think of is that we played most of our regulars whilst Souths played a lot of their fringe guys so you can argue they had a bit more to play for.
I remember the first 2.5 games of last year we looked just as flat. Then we came out firing the 2nd half of the Raiders game and went on that winning streak. It was like Mary turned a switch on.
Hope he finds that same switch this year.
Wonder what will transpire on this forum if Farah is injured and Rein gets a call up for Origin.
