It is about time we asked why the team continually plays with no structure and don't look as fit or body hardened as almost every other side.
Fitness I can't agree with, at the end of last year it was our fitness that saw us kick away in the back end of games. We have shown that this year with the Panthers game and the Tigers game, our physical endurance and fitness it fine, body hardness maybe, but I think the problem is a little higher north when we talk about hardening up.
We winged it last year, not sure what structure DA had then, even he said he was not sure.
Look he is a Parra man, but it is time we took a good hard look at his coaching, he may be a nice bloke with the players, but I am not convinced he is aiming up.
we need to stop blaming everyone but the coaching staff, the board don't go on the field, our best player can't do it all. When did we ever look like threatening with a set move....
When did we ever get through a complete set and not f**k up. Seriously I can no remember a time when a pass hasn't gone behind someone or something else go wrong to take the impatis out of our attack. Again I think it is a "She'll be right mate" attitude on the players part, but it just keeps happening and then they end up in "Quicksand"
We have a hopeless 7 and an indifferent 9, they touch the ball most opften, if the coach was cognisant of their shortcomings then we should at least have some basic set moves, WE DON"T HAVE ANY.....DA has a fair bit to answer for, and the media continually let him off the hook and want to blame others. We have no friggin game plan and even blind freddy can tell you that. Mateo has not been fit all year, Fui is also underdone, what a waste of a year.
Morts hasn't aimed up, he needs a bit of time playing against men but getting his confidence back because at the moment his confidence is shot. In age limit football he was a gun up until the 20's but his size started to work against him, he does have a kicking game, a running game and a passing game, but he doesn't have time any more. I think his physical issues could be address with a stint at Wenty.
While Coach Anderson said he didn't know what the turn around was last year, many other in the coaching staff with point to the fact that the players started to listen to Coach Anderson and believe what he said. As soon as they started to listen (around about the Newcastle game last year) all of a sudden things started to click.
But again show me a time this year when we have actually executed on a set of 6, where something hasn't gone wrong.
DA was asked at the supporters club meeting, about the two Dragons games and said in the first he didn't give the players a game plan, because he wanted to keep his power dry, and it worked a treat.
DA will be answerable, but now he has almost finished building his version of Parramatta, I am happy to see where this leads to. Can't be any worse than 2008.
