Rexy is doing it tough today.
But in al seriousness REX, what is the problem with your club(s)?
I know the Sharks & probably any other club woulddie to have your playing Roster.
I would rate your roster 30% beter than our at least.
Why so much failure? Look at the last 5 years you guys should have won it nearly every year & yet you just bouce from one disaster to another.
Why?
Black Tip. Thanks for your concern mate. There's an off season so I can give your post the attention it deserves while sitting watchingthe cricket at Hurstville Oval, but off the top of my head, Its as much a mystery to me as it is to you.
I think Brother Brown may lack intensity and maturity. You cant be out on drink and the punt when you should be mentally preparing.
I think we lack discipline within the club.
And I think we lack leadership on the field.
We should have five comps with that side on the paddock. And as its just you and me talking Reefy, we're losing thre players who actually can change a game.
On the brighter side, the retur of OKI as a viable venue for league with an ability to sell out, was good.
there's good depth in reserves, with names like naquarma, gorell, jeffries, henderson, powell and holdsworth ready to be first graders (probably for someone else).
Our pack has a good work ethic and some mongrel in it.
The club has some scratch to spend on intagibles like sports psycologists, chaplins, pilates, female supporter programs. which sounds funny, but is streets ahead of our old regimes under brain dead dinausaurs like geoff carr, and the Gong Show.
We're getting to the bottom of injuries, although please god dont let anyone throw a hash brown at gas or he'll suffer a broken bone.
We're also on the shopping list of players and managers now. Ennis was a bit of a coup, and we beat the Rorters to the punch for Prichard, only to have him stay at penrith.
I also think there are no easybeats in the comp anymore. At the start of the season iw ould have said manly, cowboys, parra, souths, tigers maybe. But the Tigers showed they were made of sturn stuff and put in. Cowboys are in the eight and were not. Next year Parra and manly have strong sides that will win on the day.
I feel as if 04 will be seen as the year we missed the boat like 99. Which makes it all the harder to put a positive spin on things.
Reefy, you watch heaps of footy. Where do you reckon our problems lie.
