Few fullbacks rip apart on kick returns these days. Kick chases are too well drilled. Even gutho makes the odd half break
Even Teddy gets hammered

Arthur cannot do it all. We need to change the assistant coaches to change things up to go to the next level. Even BA improved when O’Neill came on board and took the load off him in relation to recruitment/retention.Yes he really did at different stages, but it points to a bigger team issue overall. We just don't have the basics down pat as a strong base to work off.
I mean as an example I was filthy at Gutho in the last 13mins and 24sec mark of the game. Gutho received the ball with 4 players on his outside(right side shoulder) and only one edge defender to draw and pass and we would have had a 3 on 1 or 2 on one depending who he chose to pass to and instead he jinked and came back inside and took a very meek tackle. Freakin ridiculous and very myopic, common stuff up by one of our playmakers. Their inability to do the basics so often is unbelievable. I don't know what to say anymore. We are just not a very well coached team. Period. We have a power game, but that's it. We don't know how to finesse the ball well, especially against the better teams.
All we really did today again is just out power a lesser team that finally broke and started to make errors that allowed us to capitalise. Great when playing lesser teams. Won't be so great when we play the stronger ones that know how to defend well and count numbers in attack.
It's showing. I've also noticed he's been tackling around the ankles a few times, which is unusual for a lad his size.He’s been carrying a knee injury.
I don't rate his kick returns.
About as beatable as we’ve looked at leastA lot of teams look beatable when the opposition has 70% posession or thereabouts in one half of footy...
The attack coach is limited.I don’t think the young wingers were tested in defence today. This is coming though and we can see how they handle it. I also wonder why our outside backs don’t get ball steaming into the line Justin Olam style. That sh!t is very hard to defend. Our outside backs love a little dance at the line.
Is it rocket science to get centre’s/wingers at full speed smashing the defence. Melbourne are very effective at this. Why can’t we be?
Dunster is a couple of years away from NRL for mine. I doubt Penisini is going to be any better.I just wonder if we look at blooding Penisini and Waqa on wing?
Or do we keep Waqa as is and run with Dunster?
Do we even have one??? Honestly.The attack coach is limited.
It was pissing down as much as you were in your knickers and we had epic game of dropsies. It was always going to be a power game win and I’m glad we adjusted to the conditions and didn’t throw unnecessary passesYes he really did at different stages, but it points to a bigger team issue overall. We just don't have the basics down pat as a strong base to work off.

I think you are rightThe attack coach is limited.
He has no idea how to play the sport. He is an athlete, with zero rugby league nous.I don't know what to make of Waqa. He almost never looks like he's going to try and set up his winger, in fact he looks like he deliberately goes away from his outside man.... And if he plays wing, I get the feeling he wouldn't back himself to go hard for the corner post. The play today in the first half when he had some space and came inside after busting a tackle and then threw a shocking pass to Nrown was awful from what was a promising play.
It's certainly not something we seem too capable of executing most of the time.Block play? Sounds like some made up bullshit Pou term.
You'd think if O'Brien was punted by Newcastle there would be a fair chance he'd end up here as an AssistantArthur cannot do it all.

No reason not to take someone like Adam O’Brien if he is sacked from Newcastle or Jason Taylor who is still coaching the North Sydney Bears as assistants.
If we go out early in the semis like previous years I think it is an inevitability before sacking BA. He deserves to see out the end of his contract. This year has been the best since 2005.
Traitor!I threw $35 on dogs at 8-1 based on the wet and knowing we are always up for a shit game every few weeks.
