We are a soft team and club and have been for a long while.
When things get tough on the field we turn it up and run for the hills.
Teams know as soon as it gets too hard for us they have our measure.
A bunch of marshmallows.
I disagree with the soft label. Cant play for 80 Yep. Lack of impact in set starts in metres gained Yep.
SOFT belongs to our board and current coaching regime and performance
SOFT belonged to that pack we had as Ben Creagh captain when Willie Mason called us out playing in a Newcastle jersey.
Our team is not soft, it lacks mental aptitude for 80, a mix of few good players + young players not at their prime and a mix of players past their prime.
There is potential screaming at our club and at full strength one of the better packs in the comp.
Coaching staff are the issue, selections, HIGH performance staff are the issues not improving some players and in off seasons obviously dont practice enough the tough part of defense and attack in our games under fatigue like the other clubs continually work on.
Mary targeting 16 to hold teams too..that is SOFT coaching. We cant even do that and lucky to defend double that.
Mary and defensive coaches (Dean Young and Hornby for the backs) have to go!
These people on here, media and the club again mention the JDB saga as affecting the teams performance and will is the SOFT excuse which is not the case.
