OK well then lets go down that path then. If we can't trust and I agree in general, that we can't believe what coaches say in the media, then our only guide to what is actually going on is 1. the murmurings that come out of our clubs and 2. how the team is actually performing.
So since all the pundits are reporting the same thing that the club thinks that it is an easy fix and are generally happy with what the club and coaching staff is doing then we can only believe that that is what is actually the case.
Which pundits and where do you have a source regarding anyone being happy with our decline in form in recent months? I dont believe that you do.
I said it at the time that the 'easy fix' comment was made that it would be applied in ways in which I never think it was intended. I believe it was in relation to the lack of effort in the Souths game. It proved to be an easy fix as we have not shown the same lack of effort since.
I don't think he actually meant that it was an 'easy fix' to suddenly become premiership contenders. But again, I take it all with a grain of salt because no-one actually says what they really mean in press conferences. Its a f**king charade mate.
As you know there are very few if any secrets in RL and if the coach was secretly not happy with what was being executed out there, we would have by now have heard something. Something like "coach BA maybe publicly positive and putting a healthy spin on the teams performances, but I can tell you privately he is ....."
But we hear nothing of the sort. So we can only go with what we see and hear and all we hear coming from our club is positivity and sh*t performances follow whether we win or lose.
Thats as weak as piss. Do you really believe that?
Firstly, there are plenty of things that we don't know when it comes to rugby league. Secondly, its hardly newsworthy if he is saying to various players that they need to improve. Thirdly, its really clear that we have been down in certain areas. There is absolutely no f**king way that our coaching staff isn't aware of that. It does my head in that you could honestly believe that everyone other than BA knows this. Thats not a rational position to take.
So again we can't be addressing what is really the issue because it isn't getting fixed. Oh and to suggest that the coaching staff maybe addressing the issues but the players just aren't executing it, I find laughable.
That is a massive misinterpretation. In fact, you've actually just made that up.
You originally said that BA is happy and doesn't appear to be aware of our problems. I said that there isn't a single league person in the world that doesn't know we have been struggling in certain areas. Like everyone else, BA would be aware of this.
If you had suggested that he doesn't seem to know how to fix the problems I would have agreed. But you didn't say that - you implied that he isn't even aware!
This group of players are way too talented and powerful to not improve if we (coaching staff) knew how to get the best out of them.
On that we agree, but I was never questioning that at any stage.
This of course is my opinion and I find your contrary opinion laughable and naïve to be honest.
You didn't even know what my opinion was. I had to spell it out for you.
