On a positive note, it was our stand-in five-eighth who ran the angle and scored the first try.
Feleti is more a run straight and bust them guy, I don't think not having K Keating start the game cost us any... it's more the usual lack of alertness in defence and not playing out the whole half as a team that has us behind on the scoreboard at half time.
Let's see what we can make of it in the second half before we get the knives out :lol:
You guys are crazy, Hagan is a genius.
It didnt help having Piggy play 5/8 but i guess with Hagen as coach it doesnt matter who our halves are we would still find a way to lose
Really??
How many of the 29 tackles that we missed were due to Hagan?
Check out the metres made by our forwards..
Lowrie - 18
Robinson - 45
Oake - 52
Hauraki - 52
Cayless - 63
Wagon - 70
MoiMoi - 111
Hindy - 115
What a load of crap....
These things are not the coaches fault, if you are a forward and you don't go forward go off to Wenty...That was the worst performance by a forward pack I have seen this year...
Bunch of soft, weak, ineffectual, pathetic excuses for first grade footballers is all they are.

If they're not performing, shouldnt the coach accept some blame by not making changes?
Just quickly who picks the team again???
Everyone Knows are forwards are playing bad but he still picks the same pack they musn't be coached to well if they turn up and perform the same crappy way..
My quote was more about the attack when we had them on the back foot in the first half again Hagen Played Piggy at 5/8..
So after 18 rounds its the coaches doing for the first 10 or sp rounds you can excuse players for playing crap and not being dropped but he is in charge....
We looked more dangerous with Pig at 5/8 then at ANY time with KK there. He is not ready for first grade.
It really doesn't matter is he picks the bloke who peals the oranges to play in the front row, you would hope that whoever you pick will have a f**king go...No one did..
We missed an unbelievable amount of tackles (oddly enough Manly missed more) and made bugger all metres in the pack...
That is the second time an understrength Manly team has towelled us up, once with 14 players and once with 15...
We are sh*t, the attitude is sh*t....You cannot coach attitude...
Tank, were are the front rowers in that list of forwards?
Also, our forwards have been dishing up numbers like that quite often this season and we've seen little change in personal.
If they're not performing, shouldnt the coach accept some blame by not making changes?
Oake, MoiMoi and Cayless are Front rowers and Robinson played a heap of football in the front row as well..
Some, yes, but this thread places the bloam solely at the feet of Hagan..
He is not the one dogging it on the field, he is not the one making 40 or 50 metres in attack, he is not the one missing all the tackles...I actually thought his game plan was solid and it worked early, shame that Riddell is not fit enough to play more minutes or we would have been more of a chance...
