Our Attack

[Cobarcats]

Yeah, the coach has no idea . He’s too busy looking the part to actually coach the team !

Last year we we went from a team that was a shambles in D and had no problems scoring to a team that is opposite to that.
The players are having a real dig.
The coach has to now work on for and against to get that balance to win games.
Players have to own the results.
It wasn't that long ago that we had captain/coaches. Meaning the emphasis was more on playing the game for what your being paid big bucks to play

While I respect your opinion I disagree with your conclusions,, have you seen the table ? Out for and against is the worst in the competition,,, I don’t blame the players for not having a dig, I think they are having a dig as individuals and that is the problem ,, they are not coached to play as a team ,, they do not work together and I put the blame for that entirely on the coach not being able to work with them and bring out their best team effort .. they do nothing that requires timing and communication well at all, nothing!

 

[Cobarcats]

Your not the only one, I disagree with my opinion sometimes. 😖
I did say it's our for and against that has to improve. If your red your dead.
Players are starting to take more responsibility for their performance, hense the better defense.
That improved effort is a combination of coaching and change in attutude.
You'll be chasing your tail with this debate mate for as long as we have an inferior roster,
it's the chicken or the egg stuff I'm afraid.

Looking at our team and comparing it to others we seem to be the most consistently clunky team, you know poor passes, high passes, guys standing still no bodies in motion, no support .

All stems from not being deep enough. Thing is it has predated Madge so it has been a long term issue.

What is this? Is it a lack of fitness or a lack of trust in our defense so the side is almost in a defensive line while in possession. Is it something else.

Because I feel it's where most of our issues stem, we don't burn opposition teams out enough with the ball.

And what's the fix?

Stand deeper, that way your running faster before you run out of space, watch Melbourne next time.

One of the commentators in the game last night Penrith v Souths made comment about the Panthers taking the ball in their hands rather than chests. In that way, the ball is out front and ready to pass. Attention to detail at the Panthers.

What happened to us we used to be such a great attacking side playing razzle dazzle football 🤷‍♂️

Ball out in front makes you run onto the ball too

Jason Taylor happened.

4 straight halves without scoring a try so far. What's the record?

 

[tig_prmz]

The last try we scored was off a bomb too fwiw.

 

[SeanT]

Our attack reminds me of the Bulldogs under Des. Tries but has no idea.

We need a complete spine change.

Hastings has been absent for all of those...

But we just look slow and inept so awful

 

[rex2ce]

The players are only going through the motions, sadly they are the motions of players with no idea

 

[Aceshigh]

I was hoping this mob would get sick of losing and really aim up and play footy , just not up to it

They look like a team who are already out of contention and are just going through the motions to get the season done with. It's round 5. What the hell.

 

[tig_prmz]

I'm wondering if Sportsbet will pay out the least wins market already

 

[watersider]

You'd have maddon next to Hastings on form next week. Brooks is showing nothing.

Brooks is the worst halfback in the comp and has been for several seasons. Let him go now.

Hey Cobar, hope you are well mate, but if you think the players are having a dig, maybe you need an extra endone to avoid seeing reality
