Sadly yes

Definitely defensive coach last year, and what a great effort !:lying_face:

Flanno started defence this year but recently switched to attack and attack picked up

So do we assume Young was attack at start of year? When we scored no points even against dud teams

Well I guess if you are so shit as either a defence or attack coach , maybe he will do better as head coach !!

I suspect being mentored by fat Albert, I think statistically the worst ever ST G coach

Ah Yes Dragons footy

Albert was also our worst recruitment/retention manager- player managers refused to talk to him due to his bull in a china shop subtlety.

My missus reckons that Aitken looks like a young Val Kilmer (Top Gun - Iceman) and that Paul Vaughn looks like a young black haired Rick Rossovich (Top Gun - Slider)

My missus reckons he's a real good sort, I'm not sure if its his looks though or the way he holds that steeden so tightly.

My missus doesn’t rate Aitken, but says I remind her of Maverick from top gun.

Not for my ravishing good looks, but for my love of Scientology and cocaine.

Watching from the ground last Friday, Aitken looked a little disinterested, going through the motions, which isn't good when you have a limited skill set.

Agree
Apart from the shit passing & non-passing, I thought Staggs’ post match comment about Turnstile being out of position was damning, something not often heard from a peer.

Of course we’ve known that glaring deficiency for 6 yrs

...& when Duff’s not putting him through a hole, or his opponent is a poor tackler (Raiders), all he’s got’s a grab tackle.


PS
It’s been interesting that most teams next in line to play us have lost key personnel the prIor game.
We potentially had a dream run to the finals in 2020 - had the trigger been pulled after we came 15th?

... our Board has to go

After last night can we send him early to the warriors
Too late, Millward should have done this the day he announced his signing with Warriors. Can anyone tell me why we kept hold of him when we let Lafai, Luke, and others go early this season? It means we have to keep paying him up until the end of the season. We could have at the least used funds from all of those who have left, to front end contracts of players we are keeping. This includes about 150k to 200k of Aitken's salary. Could you just imagine the likes of the Storm, Roosters, Raiders or even the Eeels doing such a thing?

Well Lafai and Luke were totally useless, Aitken was mostly useless

Well he can now do to the NZ sheep what he’s done to our backline for 6yrs

(FMD & what he’s still doing under your watch Deano)
Agreed mate. I suggested he sit out last week and debut young Feagai and some on here went crazy at the thought. Can’t win sometimes. Kills JP every time, opportunities to set him up but nope hogs it. Throws a pass once and it was so embarrassing and not even at an under 13’s level!! And this bloke earns hundreds of thousands of $$$ yet cannot perform a basic rugby league function like CATCH AND PASS

yep - blood Max or put Williame back in. Aitken always hits the wall around this time each year as his "power game" gets slowly blunted. His inability to draw and pass cost us 2 tries against the Roosters and a chance of winning that match, it will do so again if he ain't replaced

Even Williame is an upgrade in my opinion to see how he goes for a few weeks or a young one
Cant believe EA survives

Look how well Ravalawa is going now that he is not positioned outside Aitken. And then look our Pereira is struggling to get clean ball lined outside of Aitken these days.
