Hagan :lol:
Have a look when i posted that!!! just after halftime. Tim went missing after that and Finch really picked up his play. So i was watching the same game as you.Timmy has looked good at times, Finch has been ordinary.
We we're worse last week, but we just can't take our chances. And our marker defence has been sh*thouse. Scott Prince is a gun.

What game were you watching ?
I thought Finch played all over Tim (again) to the extent that when he took control he scored.
We played alot better than last week and it was reflected in the score (apart from last try)
Nothing to be proud of but a little improvement on last week. The Titans played well but gee we have some work to do if we want to be serious contenders.

Tims copping the full brunt tonight, but what about the coaching staff??? Even more to blame IMO. Our attack looks pedestrian, and defence is even worse. Some of the blame has to come back on them.Yeah fair enough, i was just hoping for a better game from Timmy and for mine he didnt stand up. Mind you there was some improvement.
I was just trying to add a little perspective to all the doom & gloom.
I thought we improved but we still have a long way to go.
I think if Tim is the real deal ( & I have been one to defend him) he really needed a better game than that against a form half like Prince.
Surely it is a playmaker's role to get the bodies in motion, and communicate (on field and through the week at training) about what he needs and expects to make his attack function. What are we paying Joey for? These things just don't magically appear by themselves and a number 7 has to step up.how can it all be tims fault when no one is running decoys, look at what tim is freakin working with,

It seems by description like there is no cohesiveness in our attack, no-one knows what to expect so it ends up in inside balls and poor options because no-one is taking charge and directing the show, like better halfbacks do.
For the rest of the season I believe we should try:
6. Mateo
7. Finch
9. Keating
14. Riddell
and Tim -> Wenty
Our defense maybe suffers because we don't have the self-belief that our attack can match it, with the worries about our playmaker leading into the season... if he doesn't perform next week, it's time to drop him to Wenty.
This line-up would give the side some stability and communication, and the other players like Burt and Hayne a chance to know what they are working with each week and how to best slot in. Maybe we are like the Sharks were, where having Dykes and Kimmorley both in the side ended up worse than when they just had one?
And someone needs to take the forwards aside and show them how to gain momentum again, taking the inside run each time means that we aren't making as many yards and not getting on a roll. Are these practiced/coached moves, or are they happening because there is a lack of confidence in our playmakers as they stand?
That's my rant over.
Dumb sh*t has been doing this for years, why cant someone from the geniused coaching staff point this out?hell no,
I was yeling at the tv when he kept passing the inside ball and we were going no where!!!
f**k this sh*t to hell!!!

f**k that find a coach that has a f**ken clue cause old Hages has got nothin.Carl Webb and Michael Crocker are off contract.
Not much of a sacrifice.I would sacrifice Wagon, Lowrie, Paulo and Wellar for Crocker.
Unlucky.So what does that make Newcastle not being able to beat Parramatta.:lol:

Michael Hagen = Nathan Brown, just one of the boys without a clue, and how much are we paying Johns for all this f**king wisdom.Tims copping the full brunt tonight, but what about the coaching staff???
