And Dragons have defence courtesy of Flanno
Could it be that we are so intent on sticking to our structures that we can’t budge...?!?I like Morris and he’s done, for the most part, an OK job with some average cattle, a fgd salary cap and plenty of injuries..plus the Xerri mess...plus COVID.
But there have been some glaring, very basic and obvious coaching blunders/ ineptitude throughout this season.
Tactically we’re not up to scratch.
We seem unable execute and or maintain a simple game plan. Against the Tigers we carved up Benji/ BJ/Nofo in the first half and never went left again in 2nd half.
Against the cows we did the same on the right side.
This weekend we failed to put continued pressure on a 1st game rookie, defending the same side as Jerome L, who is an atrocious defender.
It can’t be that hard, sitting up in the stands, to identify that a game plan is working or not, and to instruct the team to change it up or to hammer home the advantage.
Im a numpty and I can see it in the moment. How the fg can the coaching squad not?

Honestly, we are being run by amateurs.
Coaches like Robinson, Bellamy, Bennett - they go to the NFL and EPL and LEARN stuff!!!!!
Apparently, we go to the Gymea Gorillas...

Last year and in the pre season Morris was massive on accountability. That has all gone out the window now. I don't know if he is gun shy because others are not playing NSW cup but he picks the same guys each week and plays the same style every week.
We need to go out and buy a fullback.
Hope they sign him quick don't give us time to get him, that's all we would need.At least we HOPEFULLY won't be looking at Trent Barrett - seriously, KILL ME NOW!!! - he is apparently being looked at by Canterbury!
the lack of reserve grade is a massive issue. Blokes need to step up a grade when they haven’t even been playing. It’s a huge ask.
Wrong.
Just been reported that Flanno has taken over the attack with the Dragons in recent weeks.
He was the one pushing for Hunt to go to Hooker and their hooker to play at lock forward.
So...
Paul Green, anyone...?!?
Done.He'll be at the Broncos.
No, he might of won a gf, but he got lucky. He hasn’t been able to rebuild a team and he hasn’t been able to keep good juniors and paid overs for a forward who was already at the club.So...
Paul Green, anyone...?!?
Means nothing if we can’t defend against anyone half decent.He has us running out the 2nd best attack in the league with arguably our best attacking player on the sidelines for the most part. He's promoted a stack of really good young players in his 1.5 seasons in charge with most developing quite well. Sure, he has his deficiencies but he's doing a passable job with a side that's working with a salary cap well below every other team in the comp.
