Yes I think we are all very disappointed, so far. But the Broncs are now top 4. I'd love us tobe a top 4 team but, alas unless our forwards can stand up & be dominant our backs won't fire. So maybe the inclusion of some younger forwards with fire in their bellies will give those backs the room to move and showcase their skills.
Yes see ur pt DD, BUT maybe The football committee didn't want our up & coming juniors
I saw then followed a post re Joey in the Rumors thread I expect. So is Mat Head our attack coach? That explains a lot. I rated him similar to Hastings, Clune and Hunt for creativity. In fact we have a habit of buying dud playmaking halves.
His stats past two years paint a bleak picture. For a big bloke he sure lacks punch. As for Woods at least he creates second phase play.. albeit rather sloppily. Where does big George stand at the moment. Has he started the season sub peak fitness as he lacks the impact we were all hoping for. I saw him smashing little blokes and tired forwards late in a game.. Sorry that this is off topic being on Tyrell's thread.
Our hopes of the "bigger" guys making life better for us fans have not come to fruition this year. I'm not too sure that they have been managed all that well past and present by us. George possibly is still "nursing" his hips. We are not much wiser with any knowledge on several of these guys because no-one from the strength and conditioning department is willing to come on and say how anyone is doing and in the case of George, how his hips are. Nathan Pickworth would copme on nearly every week and tell us about injured players and how long they could be out or when they are coming back. We get zilch now.
Yep you forget to mention that Woods is a sloth defensively after he’s been on the field longer than 10 mins. Every game he is lazy as f**k in the middle and the opposition run riot right up the middle whilst he is too busy moving like a snail. It’s embarrassing and it happens every week. Go back and watch our games and I guarantee you will see it. Cheap yes but there’s a reason Fitzy didn’t want him, coz he’s shit!!
To be honest I have never liked him even at his peak ( which I never understood how he represented ) , So he aint much good to me at retirement age .....
Maybe Michael MOLO will make a difference. Fingers crossed.
Mmm interesting for 2022.
Not sure if you followed Mat's playing career but firstly he was an Illawarra junior so was never bought by us in that sense.
Agree, I reckon we would have won the comp in 2005, but if I remember correctly, I think he got injured. Smart player, reminded me a lot of an English half.
Head was a very creative half, there is no doubt about that, however it doesn't mean he translates to being a creative attacking coach which we need. We lack scoring points and it is up to Head to get that sorted out first and foremost. If he can't then he shouldn't be there - as simple as that.
I'm not even sure he is the attacking coach, you'll see him running the water in the blue shirt tomorrow, didn't think attacking coaches did those responsibilities.
All I know is that Head is the main assistant coach and in my view has a lot to do with the attack or lack of it.
Nar Head is in the box with Hook and is our assistant coach
Duffty is a better in attack than Mbye but Mbye is a better defender Sloan wouldnt of learnt anything off Duffty . Attack is not the things Sloan has to work on.
Agree 100%
