Could we have some volunteers to coach these two merkins on how to pass the ball?

Frenzy and Quigs, I think this coaching session is right up your alleys.

I'll take it on. With Quigs as equal partner. I'll be insisting on having George Roper as our assistant though.

He's the only one who can do the juggling drills.

We'll need a medical team including a senior clinical psychologist and a psychiatrist

A wrestling coach, judo coach, tae kwon do coach and synchronised swimming coach.

18 advisors (rules, trends, NRL jargon analysts, statisticians)

15 spies

6 scouts

24 goal kicking coaches

3 each of Def and Off coaches.

24 skills coaches.

A centre of excellence containing a big target thing with an elephant noise like Rex had tiled floor, boxing ring from Gumtree etc

A years supply of prozac

I'm out.

During my long and certainly not illustrious playing time I very rarely passed the ball.

I was a Hogs Hog.

But I go along with Wally Lewis's dads training technique. He had an old tyre tied to a branch by a length of rope. They'd swing the tyre and the Lewis brats had to pass the pill through the swinging tyre.

Some of our blokes would either.

(1) .... Hit the static tree trunk

(2) .... wait till the tyre stopped swinging and then attempt a not so difficult pass

(3) ... or simply wait for instructions on when to pass. This would have to be relayed to them by a member impersonating the onfield trainer.

AND OF COURSE..... The passing training would not last long as none of the participants would make an effort to pick up the grounded ball. They would all just put their hands on their hips or run over as a group and pat the bloke on the head who had just missed the tyre.

Great start guys well done.

Quigs understand totally your stance, bit hypocritical of you if you were to take the job on.

Thanks for being honest and putting your hand up.

Let's see if this rigorous training scheme can get some results after this weekend's game against Souffs.

It's looking bad. Roper can't be located and they buried the target thing with Rex.

I'll have to improvise

Well mate just get it done before Saturday. Whatever it takes.

If either of those two merkins don't aim up and pass the ball when the chance comes there'll be hell to pay. Especially if it's to Feki as he has some Warrior mates ready to re-arrange their faces.

Good luck Cap'n, we're all counting on you.

Feki was in position on both occasions. He wasn't the problem with the non passing. Yes he does get shallow but not with the 2 from last weekend

This is Morris as he threw the dummy

Dugan before he threw his dummy

Moz and Duges 100% responsible on these occasions

Thank for those Frenz.

What would they have copped from Bomber during the week?

Endless video sessions in a padded cell for hours on end or just a slap on the back with a "Don't worry mate, you'll do better next time.'

I have to do my own video sessions now to get the coaching clinic going.

I've decided on having a sniper. If they don't pass they get shot. No mucking around.

Well Morris will be on the left wing, so probably not a lot of passing, maybe a bat back.

It was unlike both players, generally the outside man scores.
