Bump

Right Now please.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Boot this fraud now

 

[Jono078]

As this stage into round 20, we officially rank last in attack. 10th in defense.

We ranked 4th in both last year, for context.

 

[Jono078]

Also, with 7 rounds to go, we've now lost more games than we did last year.

I'm prepared to call it a season. Time to drop those who won't be here next year and give some others a chance.

 

[Woody90]

The annoying part is he’ll use all the injuries we’ve copped this year as an excuse. Personnel is only part of the problem though. The “tactics” in attack are just horrendous and I’m still scratching my head why the coaching staff decided to do a complete 180 on what was working for us last year.

For me it’s not even the losing games. With the squad we’ve had for a lot of the year we wouldn’t be winning heaps of games with most coaches. It’s how we’re playing that I can’t handle. Even the games we’ve won I’ve gotten little enjoyment from it because we look so terrible I assume we won’t go on with it.

AOB in the press conference: "We're not a good looking team, we're an ugly team". He trains them to play ugly. Why are we an ugly team, Adam?

I’ve heard him say so many times he wants us to be an “ugly” team to watch. Why though? Why do you want to play away from the strengths of your best player? Good coaches modify their game plan to suit the strengths of their squad. Bad coaches can’t adapt and try and force players into playing a style that doesn’t suit them.

I agree, the best coaches can work with what they have and maximize that.

 

[Woody90]

Just watching the Storm/Roosters: I’d give absolutely anything to have a coach like Bellamy. His side on paper has nothing on the Roosters but they’re just so well coached they get every single one of the small things right and exposing the Roosters flaws (especially Dom’s defence) left right and centre.

 

[ryan.a87]

Please throw the bank at Madge

 

[Knight Tales]

Those are the words of a coach who knows he has very little to offer. Unbelievable he still thinks he is the answer. He’ll keep his job because this club never sacks anyone until they have no other choice left.

 

[mozza91]

Yeah I’m fed up with his ‘tactics’. We suck and are horrific to watch. Don’t know who to replace him with though. Is anyone decent available?
Also can someone photoshop Obi’s head onto the chicks head below?

 

[Loose Cannon]

Is anyone decent available?

“Decent” is maybe too narrow a field.

”Better” would suggest a plethora of candidates.

Madge seems like the pick but someone like Hannay or Dean Young feels like a lateral move.

 

[Woody90]

I’m not sold on Madge tbh.

Bit of a left of field but I’d look at Michael Cheika and bring someone like Justin Holbrook in as an assistant. He turned the Roosters attack from some of the worst to some of the best in one off season.

 

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

Please throw the bank at Madge

after Flannagan he was my next choice. A clear , concise , direct, leader. Listening to AOB never has filled me with confidence.

Young has gone a long way towards that

 

[Woody90]

Young has gone a long way towards that

Young’s been pretty average for them other than a couple of stand out games IMO. He was a liability tonight and it wasn’t even his worst game of the season. He was better when he was here IMO.

Also their whole attacking structure has changed, nothing to do with a winger. Dom’s obviously a great finisher though which helps. Pretty impressive considering they have Tedesco who notoriously ruins attacking plays.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw him say that.
Look at our run last year with mostly the same team, very pretty to watch.
