Can you see anything MLB do well implemented here since O’Brien took over Yosh?

Not off the top of my head.

Might as well warm this thread up...

I think I've given up for this year. I think it's clear he's getting another chance next year regardless.

 

[Yosh]

PLEASE GET HIS HACK OUTTA HERE ALREADY!

So much this.

We brought someone over from successful systems ostensibly to replicate those systems.

What has he done?

 

[perverse]

What has he done?

He's pretty good with excuses.

I always kinda gave him the benefit of the doubt because of our constant injury runs, and he seems to always say the right things in press conferences

but we had full strength today and they were missing their best player (turbo) and we still got our pants pulled down

there’s just not sugar coating it, on paper, we have 2 of Qld backline players, a foward pack stacked with rep players…….we should be so much better than what we currently are

Honestly cannot find one redeeming thing about AOB's coaching, at this point I'm not convinced AOB is anything more than Rick Stone with a shiny resume

I agree but that’s all brought down by us having a reserve grader playing hooker for most of the year + a backup half being our first choice no.7 and a bloke at no.6 who hadn’t laced up a boot for 9 months. If the players in key positions aren’t up to it then it doesn’t matter how good the rest of the team is.

Don't forget you're talking about a coach that constantly says in post-game conferences that "we'll be getting some troops back soon". Well tonight we had all but 1 available, and you saw what happen.

The excuses need to stop and he's responsible for having them in the right head space to compete for 80 each week.

The fade was down to the three lost players. He actually said there is “a bit of an out”.

Injuries are his out. Just end this charade.

Well, we’re back at the point where we ask the question… is it the coach or lack of cattle? Was the same question not long before Brown was punted.

I think it is a bit of both. I don’t buy into the view that recruitment has been good. Not at all.

We just got our arses handed to us (30 f**king points) by a team with a back five of Garrick, Harper, Koula, Saab and Tuipolotu.

Frontrow starters of Keppie and Aloiai.

Backrow gun Andrew Davey ffs.

We have massive issues in the back row and centres. Same as it was under Brown.

We’ve had back luck with Brailey, that can’t be argued.

Newcastle haven’t had a decent half since Andrew Johns. That can’t be argued.

We’ve pretty much developed f**k all decent juniors for 20 years ( flame away over the exact time frame) and are years away from developing a wave of decent NRL players.

No idea what happens behind the scenes at the club in a myriad of departments but it has to be time to bring in a coach who puts some grit into whatever we have and gets the playing group to do anything they can to get a win. As often as possible.

Nail on the head.

Don't know if the link works here but it's fan footage of AOB punching a floor fan last night

 

[Jono078]

Don't think this is working?

 

[PhilGould]

Yeah didn't think it was, working on it

 

[Knight Tales]

Pressure building to breaking point now. Gardner has to do something.

Would love to know at what point he did that!

At least he cares and it eats at him.
