The game is on today or something. Sharks or someone.

Every coach has a used by date. It’s looking like Arthur is closing in on his.

It’s obvious he has made some terrible recruitment decisions and this team does not look physically prepared and his tactics are non existant.

To be fair you were calling him shit last year but we still made top 4

Our players look lazy this year ... who knows why

 

[Happy MEel]

I hate the line “if we commit to our defence, our attack will look after itself”. We brazenly push this line out in media interviews and it always shits me. Yes you need to be strong in defence but equally you also need to be strong in attack.

We had plenty of chances in that second half and it was probably one of the worst attacking displays since Norman and Moses combined in the halves. I thought our defence was solid enough but we walk away with another failure.

That bugs me too. I'm sure there's some truth to it but it's mostly a cop out.

 

[Avenger]

Our back row including Brown have lost power. Besides Edward we have no punch on the edges and in attack there appears to be no bodies in motion only stupid block plays.

Arthur is a clueless attacking coach and obviously needs an assistant who can help him. Don’t forget Semi is no longer there to mask his offensive inadequacies.

Our attack is just running sideways ..... until they get to the sideline n run out of room

Cronulla are a decent defensive team, but we made pretty much zero impact on them

What more can you do but train hard and hope that cohesion appears sooner rather than later. No point in hoping on wholesale changes bc you cant access Wenty anymore, just your top 30.

It’s form and luck that will jag a first win and that win will only happen on the back of 50%+ possession. Give us 65% possession and I reckon we win by 20 easy.

There is a distinct lack of cohesion there, but I don't think you can always blame the coach for that (not that I'm saying you are). It's a bit of a cop out IMO, there is no way a coach sends a side out there with that kind of plan.

The players, for whatever reason, are going away from the plan. They look like they're chasing points from the get go tbh.

I'm as frustrated as anybody but I don't see replacing Arthur at this stage as being the solution. However, roster acquisitions, home ground roundabouts, injuries, loss of Semi and an ageing forward pack all contribute to where we're at. I'm sure I've missed a bunch.

Too many changes this week.

Getting Hayne out of the centres improved our defence but it might take a few weeks for our attack to fire.

Also, Cronulla defended very well. With 56% possession fatigue never became an issue for them.

like his hair

bald men have never made good coaches

Brown made more metres then Fifita with less runs ....... along with more tackles.

Im trying hard to not say it, but hayne isnt even a shadow of his former self

Before he got injured he was f**kin pedestrian

Ageing? Only one of them is over 30!

He injured his hip at the kick off.

But because he did it with speed and footwork it somehow doesn’t count.

Well he was injured with his first touch of the ball, I think.

They're still ageing.

I thought brown was much better this week ... a few errors but he had a crack

No f**ker supports him ... he has an offload but there is no one there even if he got a chance

 

[strider]

Really? ... he didnt seem to be limping until after the sharks try

If he was injured first touch then he's a frail pussy
