To be totally honest my disenchantment with the club is returning slowly week by week back to the Sheen's era . What the f**k has really changed ? Honestly nothing really has ,
We have a halfback and a fullback, not makeshift piss poor versions of them. We have structure that works more often than not and it has allowed us to start getting value out of Adam Blair. We have props that are props, not slow backrowers (or centres). We don't have centres at five-eighth, five-eighths at halfback, five-eighths at fullback, locks at hooker, centres at prop et al. We are starting to accumulate decent depth.
if anything we are going backwards considering the talent we have available .
we had 7 wins for all of 2013 and 11 wins in 2012 (when we were favourites to win the title). If anything we have improved our performance, results wise.
We still get dominated through the forwards ,
Which will be rectified by having decent defenders in the back row. Thompson, Sironen and Akoula are poor defenders but good attackers.
we leak points like crazy the same as we always have ,
We have conceded 4 tries or more in a game 5 times this year. At the same time last year we had conceded 4 tries or more in a game 9 times. and in 2012 it had happened 5 times in the same time.
we pick useless merkins that everyone in the rugby league world know are f**king dogshit ,
We have less useless merkins in the side this year than in nearly any other year under Sheens.
we never smash a side and put huge points on the board
We're 9th in attack so far and have scored 40+ once and 30-39 once this year so far, at the same time in 2013 we had scored 30-39 once
..infact we are pushing shit up hill to even score enough points
which has always happened when we were without Farah or Benji/or had Benji in shit form ..
then to top it off we release players capable of doing so
Koro would've needed to get the ball first. Our wingers have suffered all year because our halves are playing wider only allowing the centres to get any opportunities, if at all.
, or leave them on the bench or outside f**ktards that couldn't set up a tent .
I'll pay that
Im seriously looking forward to us getting an arse kicking in the hope this shit will finally f**king stop.
I personally understand your frustration of late, but the season as whole has been an improvement on the last two seasons where we were going backwards dramatically. That has stopped and we are looking at being a better team over the next several years.
Anasta was a Sheens purchase and his career ends this season. I dare say Potter is keeping him in the side purely to help Brooks. I don't agree with it at all, but that is the only reason I can see why he keeps being picked.
Brooks will have a season under his belt next year and will have formed a solid combination with Tedesco and Farah which will be the perfect environment to bring Moses into.
Everything about our 2014 campaign for me, has been about setting the side up for long term success, starting in 2015.
I can cope with a bit of inconsistency for a season while this is being sorted.
2015 is where the results and improvement needs to come, because by then, most of Sheens purchases will be out of the side and Potter will have his own mob.
