The press conference summed up our concerns, BA basically blamed the players not completing and even when Brent Read asked about the issues, there was no mention that coaching could to be better.
As much as I think Trent Robbo is a complete knob, he has said several times this year, “I” need to be better and make sure we all do things better. Involved himself directly in the issue.
That's your best post in a long time.

See below.

Fair enough. A bit of fence sitting there but that is ok. Some of us are more pertinent in our views than others.

Mate, we are approaching 40 f**king years since a premiership. You and I, as others were, lucky to see premierships. Those days were the best footy following days of my life.
But we are past one generation and approaching or past the second, of kids who it is just but a dream.
My two kids would love to see one and I'm sure many many thousands of others fans children, are desperate to see success.
That is two generations of kids that this club could have grown so much. We have so much massive potential yet it has all been wasted. It is hanging on by a thread due to parents like us who keep them interested.
Let's hope that we have some success soon.
The current direction of the club however isn't looking promising.
One would have thought that after 40 years, we would have learnt our lessons.
Clearly, we have not.

From the 1 min 40 sec mark there was a Freudian slip by Brad. He has until the end of this year. There must be a KPI. This will be his last year. He said at the 2 min 14 sec mark.

"The facts will be there at the end of the year."
Why wait??? Unless Bennett is already signed the board need to be loaded into a cannon along side Bea and fired into the sun.

It's a slip. He knows he's f**king gone and good riddance.

The players he keeps picking

Lane 6 runs for 45 metres in 60 min of football.

Sivo made a massive 76m

Both should be marked to never put the jersey on again.
Last game against Manly was the first time all year Lane played less than 80 mins. Today was the second.
Might be a sign of something there.

I know what my views are and they don't differ greatly from yours and many others on here. I just dont choose the same ways to express them as many others do.
Each to their own I guess.

It's not about the halves, it's about the middle forwards when they have to make repeat efforts.

Brad, your lord, just said it's about how we manage the game without Mitch. So we don't end up in those 15 minute funks.

Undoubtedly the least motivated team in magic round - losing by the biggest margin after only being down by 6 at halftime, and the Storm losing their best player/re halfback.

Disgusting. BA should indicate his willingness to step aside at the end of the season to the Board on the flight home. Or the Board should indicate they will enact the payout clause to end BA's contract early, and line up a different coach ready for 2025.

I honestly thought with Munster injury we were a good chance

You still come across as a bit of a Parra pacifist. Probably better than what I come across as but anyway, each to their own.

The go to word for Brad atm seems to be we just need to fight. He has said numerous times now and just seems to be his only message.

Well tactically we can definitely look better and showing fight is the bare minimum requirement I would have thought being a FG player otherwise what are they doing there.
