Rd12: Parra v Souths GAME DAY THREAD @ Stadium Australia 29/5/21

[Snoochies]

Knights can't wait for next week.

 

[hineyrulz]

Here’s hoping his dad will eventually be a first grade coach

He’s just in his 8th season mate, these things take time.

 

[Delboy]

LOL!! When is it ever on the head coach??? At the end of the day Kidwell is just an assistant.

Of course the HC is in the frame, just so frustrating that the structure is easily exploited by the better teams. Defence coach coaches defence , attack coach etc, the HC has to make decision on staff or he’s on thin ice.

They don’t attack our RHS for any reason other than Fergo won’t be there to defend. If we sure that up then they will attack the left where Sivo is equally as poor.

 

[Soto]

Didn't the coach hire him? Why is BA immune?
He has done a terrific job to get a competitive squad and admirable results in the last few years but I'm sorry he doesn't have the required bag of tricks to go next level..I don't know the answer but i certainly would make Bellany an offer too good to refuse. We just need some polish and we could go all the way

 

[Parra Cheeses]

See the crusher in the Canberra game 2nd minute. Penalty every day of the week in our game. No consistency from the refs.

 

[IFR33K]

Yes we were poor last 2 weeks, and defensively shit on the right edges, but why is everything about being out coached?

Maybe we were just shit!!

is every win we get a BA out coached the opposition....

The coach must recognize there’s issues on our right edge? What did he do to rectify it? He switched centres. Lol great tactic that one. Maybe that was our long awaited super secret move.

WB identified our weakness and exploited our edge. BA had nothing, despite having a week to work on things. Wouldn’t that classify as being out coached?


South’s knew if they tightened the middle, we’d struggle. How many line breaks did we make? Wouldn’t that classify as out coached?


Stop taking it personal if someone suggests anything in regard to coaching.

 

[DaveMc]

We were never in that. Very concerning performance, Souths weren’t even particularly sharp. No idea how you rectify that, I think our criticism of Dylan looks a bit silly, at least he sures up the edge. Not many positives to take from the last fortnight.

 

[IFR33K]

He’s just in his 8th season mate, these things take time.

The same players will get picked and the same tactics will be used. The issues need to be addressed. Our edges have been poor for a while now

 

[Parra Cheeses]

How good is Baker Boy. I like her hairdo.

 

[Incorrect]

So are all you merkins who have ripped in to Waqa endlessly gonna tear Opacic a new one too .... cos frankly he is have a portugese chicken style game

Well I guess the reality is that our issues aren't with individuals but defensive structures as a whole. It's worse than we thought.... Then again, we were all sleeping soundly 3 weeks back when wins were coming.... Last 2 weeks 2 proven (premiership winning) coaches have exposed us....

 

[IFR33K]

All the good teams need to do is compress well as they know there’s no ball movement by us. And all they need to do with the ball is spread it to finds easy yards.

 

[Tooooks]

Losses like this would be easier to take if our coaching staff had the slightest inkling of how to fix our issues. This is looking like the second half of last year. What has Johns added to our halves? Why, when our defence is consistently shit, does Kidwell maintain employment?

Why is our attack so unimaginative and predictable? Just so frustrating. Not that it really matters because this year is a two horse race but we need to make some changes if we’re going to become an elite team.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

How good is Baker Boy. I like his hairdo.

it’s Mickey Mouse!

 

[Eelogical]

Without those sin bins this probably wouldn't have looked so bad.

For which team?

 

[hineyrulz]

Will you watch BA's presser? What do you predict he will say?

Ummmmmm Aaaaaagghhhhh, our effort area’s weren’t there, we need to chase the collision we are a grinding team and we need to get back to that…….


It will be something like that, same old same old. He won’t say boo about the horrible refereeing which was atrocious.

 

[IFR33K]

Of course the HC is in the frame, just so frustrating that the structure is easily exploited by the better teams. Defence coach coaches defence , attack coach etc, the HC has to make decision on staff or he’s on thin ice.

You think BA has time off when the team works on defense? He’d be overlooking everything, and assistants would be carrying out the head coaches tactics and putting structures in place

 

[JokerEel]

Same issues as last season and it doesn't look like being fixed it's not good enough...

 

[Joshuatheeel]

ok what other changes could he have made?

 

[hineyrulz]

LOL!! On thin ice, he was re-signed after a 60 point thrashing. And then last year when we had proven absolutely nothing.


And once again it looks like more of the same, if the people in charge are half serious the coach and his staff need to be asked some massive questions. Mark O’Neill and his staff have done a excellent job putting a very competitive list together and it’s time for the Coach and his staff to start doing the same. I can’t believe how bad our attention to detail is, how we keep making the same mistakes. Even when it comes to the challenges absolutely clueless.
