I sometimes wonder if I am the only person on this forum that gets sick of every thread becoming about our coach and his deficiencies.

It would be good to actually just discuss football sometimes.
Exactly what would you like us to discuss regarding football? Is the deficiencies of the coaching staff not part of football discussions??

Pick the football topic and let's go

FFS, if it was that simple, we would be coming second or third.

We run more than most teams.

We have more post-contact metres than most teams.

And we make more ground off kick returns than most teams.

The problem is our defence, including metres conceded. Merkins who complain about our attack are just plain wrong. They have no idea.

The article focuses on limiting opposition run metres, but doesnt the inverse then apply? If we run more then we have been limited less, hitherto we should achieving more.
Obviously the opposition struggles to limit our run metres, but we definitely struggle to limit the opposition. Only the Storm (829) and Rabbitohs (833) games have had higher scores than ours (828 total points), and we have conceded 26 points more than Souths and 75 more than Melbourne.

Is he as big of a risk in paying a player that hasn't made a preliminary final 1 million a season in the salary cap though.
I'm not advocating paying Moses a million a year either. I'm simply pointing out that Keary would be a risky signing given his recent concussion history. Moses doesn't seem to have the clutch, big match temperament required to lead us to the promised land so I don't really know what the answer is tbh.

This is because as Billy slater stated when we are in attacking positions, the bush coach takes many one out hit up plays. And when defending the bushies wide defensive systems don't work (see VS Rabbits) - stats don't show this 💩💩
Souths are the third best attacking team this year. Everyone struggles to stop them scoring. Johnston is the top try scorer by five tries ffs. Did he score them all against us or do opposition wingers refuse to stay on their wing (ffs)?
