Too rooted to distribute effectively from dummy half it seems. Not an 80min hooker then obviously...

So maybe coach needs to select - and use - alternate hooker/utility on the bench, takes over at 25mins before Lussick gets gassed, and then Lussick comes back on at the 50min mark. What a genius move that would be...
Neither Lussick or Hands are 80 minute 9s.

The coach being too f**ken stubborn to not adjust the team due to the players he has at his disposal was the second reason why we were going to achieve sweet f**k all this season, after we could no longer field our best 17.

So BA has had this mantra ever since I have heard him mention 40 or 50 times since then to be displinced around the ruck and not give penalties away which in turn means we don't lay all over them and push the envelope in the ruck.
But last season Pou told us that Hodgson was giving away so many penalties around the ruck because BA would have told him to do that - not because Hodgson was arthritic and lazy getting off the tackled player...

(Jokes aside, I agree we are very poor in terms of how we pressure other teams in making our tackles.)

Honestly, that was just a painful performance.

It was just horrible from start to finish.

It was that bad that it might terminally damage our season.

The problem is that the issues on display tonight were identified all through last year and haven’t been addressed by supercoach

same stale tactics, same lack of inspiration and flair, same systemic defensive weaknesses, same plod on the edge and even worse plod at hooker.

it’s depressing - the only answer left is to sack him and reset.

I know a lot of you spend a lot of time on here, but anyone who argues otherwise is either not an actual parra fan or just delights in needling parramatta fans.

It’s all over - he is done.

At this point it really seems like the only person here who isn’t sick of the BA show is the resident troll Pou.

BA's presser was as embarrassing as the performance.

Effort was there didn't really feel like 40 points out there conceded. We weren't soft.

Just need to get the fundamentals right and flush the performance down the drain.
That is the best indicator yet that he has lost control of this train

He can’t admit that his words from the last week had no effect, so he needs to claim the effort was there and it was just circumstances beyond control.

he has no idea how to fix this - it’s not like Moses went down pre-game.

we are truly gone

Yep both sides tonight were called out by the coaches last week.

One team responded ran everything with purpose and energy.

The other looked as stale as a 6 week old piece of bread.

I’d like to flush the last 11 years of his coaching down the drain.
