Coaches Corner

No offence but it's as simple as the number of player injuries which has been the team's biggest setback for this year and the main culprit for any team disruption - and ability to build momentum or form team combinations.
Pascoe, Lee, Sheens, Madge or Kimmorley can't control these things. Hope they finally address our depth issues though
 
Noddy has had the opportunity to play some new players .. but he has continued to pick the same plodding players as before. I know we have a lot of players out .. but we have 30 players plus the Development Players that were able to play.
 
I expect all 3 at the next 2 games and very visable to all, they are the future of the club , they can get there and support these guys or they are going to look like they don’t care about this season , but everyone should care about every game

Well I think they will definitely be on show at Leichhardt. Probably next week as well but more visible at last game. Maybe even an interview or two.
I hope Benji passed his NRL coaching course coz that could be embarrassing.

True, though I don't see why Sheens is still in the background. He should be implementing his new style now, prior to the offseason

If I was Sheens I would call a meeting with all the players, like today! and tell them really clearly that they can walk now if they think that putrid level of effort is acceptable. Get that out there, let it simmer for a while and then begin the new style - what ever that may be. We certainly need something new, but having a real dig, every game, must be part of the non-negotiables.

I'd throw away the carrot, find the biggest stick and sodomise these wannabes.
Nofo would come flying back for that

As Bennett would say, gotta know when to take them aside and give them a talking to, and when to give them a cuddle.
The minds of the modern day players are a very delicate balance.
Using the stick all the time will create hatred.
Not sure about Nofos preferences, but seems like you might. Wanna share anything ?

He may have already had that chat with a few of them but waiting until season end to implement.
It’s interesting that there are a few important ones that have not been renewed already ? And the ones that have, like the 2 centres and Naden, why them.
Wonder what his thinking is ? Waiting to hear from new players, not going to renew or just not announced as yet.

Not only has Sheens not stepped up, but he has effectively undermined Kimmorley by releasing and loaning players.

Does anyone think that this decision rests with Kimmorley?

Absolutely weak effort by the club. Who hires an unemployed coach (or internal candidate) and then gives them gardening leave to start work next year.

Correct me if I am wrong but you, among others, have been bagging the crap out of Noffo and Gildart. Spare me the panning of Sheens.
 
Reading this thread, if I was a newcomer with no background to the last 20 years, I'd be thinking this club is full of individuals, both on and off field, that only care for their own postion and stature and not really interested in the core purpose of the club; to be competitive and win games. Lucky I have been around a long time and know this couldn't possibly happen.

I hear you SWS but I think everyone really loves the club and are just throwing out all sorts of ideas on how it could be better.
Some would work, some would not but the footy creed is, and always will be, the club is bigger than the individual.
We just want something to cheer about !

Noddy is a puppet - he doesn't have reign over this side - merely there to cop the heat for the remainder of the season. At this pace, Sheens will be copping plenty in 2023. He needs to pull out a magic wand and quick....

Here are 7 points to remember rather than reflecting on the terrible loss on Saturday.

1. The silence from Sheens/Benji/Robbie is only because they are working on 2023 & beyond. Currently sorting out the football staff they want so can start the pre-season as a new era with coaching, facilities & leaders.

2. The final 2 rounds will be telling for the future of Douehi, Madden, Musgrove, Seyfarth; if Freebairn, Dias continue on T&Ts; and blooding Tumeth, Kautoga and more experience for Tupou. The attitude & qualities of Douehi over the next fortnight could play a big part on his future.

3. Korisau & Paapali will be important leaders for us moving forward along with Hastings & Offa once those deals can be done. I'd be confident Sheens/Benji will be trying to recruit another forward leader (ideally John Bateman or the likes of a Joe Stimson who is solid & good clubman) and backline leader (possibly a Ricky Leutele back from Super League for 1 season). While many may scoff at a Stimson or Leutele, their experience, professionalism & leadership important for the young guys.

4. We will have Blore, Utoikamanu, Brooks, Twal, Hastings & possibly a remodelled Talau to return.

5. I'm sure Sheens/Benji/Farah and the player leaders will sit down in the offseason to germinate our new culture & style of play moving forward.

6. Tupou, Fainu, O'Kane, Kautoga, Tumeth, Matamua, Reilly, Api Saukuru, Ngatikaura, Scolari, Kade Hill, Camroux, Livai Saukuru, Jahream Bula, Peni should all develop in NSW Cup next season (the only Cup players I'd retain are Aitasi James & Freebairn, jury out on Maanaima).

7. Many of our Flegg players can stay in Flegg another season & look forward to our top SG Ball players this season moving up including Dotoi, Cathane Hill, Herman Tofaono, Levi Conti, Tom Fisher as well as the likes of recruit Josh Feledy.
