So what's the excuse today? We held onto the ball. Still played really boring and one out. He has been coach for 5 years here. We still don't have any attacking structure. What's his attacking philosophy? Still can't use Ponga. We have a better record when Ponga is injured! Damning.
I'm going to play devil's advocate here. Our team looks very fit. We are down on troops but keep competing 80 minutes every single week. We probably outscore our opponents every game in the last 10 minutes. Our team doesn't fold which is great mental fortitude.
Why doesn't he let our lads attack kicks? We got the ball twice the only 2 times Gagai challenged for the kick. Why do we always play one out? I don't understand. It might have been a great play for the might Storm 20 years ago. It's not working for us. Why stick with it for 5 plus years?
If he is responsible for our defense I really honestly applaud him. Wish he would let go of his ego and let someone else coach the attack. I hope the club makes a decision (to fire him, or to get him an ass man who can actually coach the attack) before it's too late to salvage the season.
What's the plan when Brown comes btw. If Sharpe is going to be our seven, he needs to be barking orders and directing the team around all game. He looks more like an impact 14 out there just waiting for an offload or something. Literally the opposite of a game managing seven/halfback which we need if our spine is going to have both Brown and Ponga.
Anyway, I'm not even upset today. Won't let it ruin my weekend. Saw it coming a mile away. I don't dislike AOB. I just don't want someone like him managing my club. It's not just about the results. It's about belief, passion, love of the sport, entertainment, rigor. His coaching is draining the soul out of the place.
