I think the issue is Sheens

People whinged about five hit ups and bombs then whinge when we try a new attacking style.

Yes we suck, but aren't people happy we no longer doing five hit up and bomb?

We obviously just need to execute.

Do people know what they want and what they are actually complaining about?

I don’t care how we win. If we executed Madge’s way we would win too…

Dane Laurie is too small to compete with the modern wingers. He'd be a liability under the high ball when they attacked, he be a liability under the high ball when they kicked to his wing and with a 2nd rower and bigger winger as opponents would be sent into touch each time he got the ball. His defence on an edge would be excruciating - we'd have no defence on either edge with him and Noffa as our wingers. If he's a fullback then he should be a reserve for the 2nds.

Just shooting the breeze mate, you’re probably correct.

AD doesn't know how to ball play right to left. And teams are working him out on the right side. The plays he runs are good at getting players 4 on 4, 3 on 3 and so on, but he doesn't know how to turn a 2 on 2 into a 2 on 1. Personally I think if Papali'i is on his edge thing would work better.

ADs best position imo and according to how he naturally plays, is right centre.
But who plays 6, that’s the key question ? Do you move Brooks out one and have Wakeham at half, or try maybe Laurie ( his junior position) or Kautoga who’s just signed with the Dogs.
It’s a real cluster f..k, ain’t it !

PS And totally agree with Ice on the right side.
 
All I know is for the last 12 seasons Wt have missed the finals.

With the Old 2005 Boys Club back this season there appeared to be some hope.

That was all dashed after Round 2 concluded.

I think WT will be lucky to win more games than 2022.

To me if you are not playing finals it is a failed season. No ifs or buts

We put on all our plays in the Raiders trial - now the cupboard is bare and Old Mother Hubbard is devastated.

Didn’t we do the same against Manly in 2021?
How about closed trial session next year fellas to get your combinations / confidence in. Screw the preseason Mickey Mouse comp. 2 other teams played each other the week before the comp started behind closed doors. Why didn’t we?

To be fair I think he is addressing the continual attacks on Brooks from people who miraculously ignore others players massive ineffeciancies and greater contributions to losing games.

I don't think that's entirely true. I don't think you'll find many defending AD at the moment. Even Laurie , who had a ( for him ) a decent game. The issue I have with Brooks is we have been seeing the same thing for a decade.

We've replaced a predictable, ineffective structure with an unpredicatble, ineffective structure. If Madgeball or Sheensball doesn't pan out, it frustrates the fans. If either got the 2 comp points more often than not, we wouldn't be complaining.

Fans know what they want: the team to take opportunities on offer. We agree that the execution is lacking (which is what I alluded to in my original post that you quoted.) We look absolutely at sea in the opposition 20.

0-2 from 2 games we should have won at a jog.

Me thinks someone needs a reality check. I'll await your post in Rd 10 when you say, "come on guys, it's only 0-10"

Would we have your permission to take some deep breaths then?

He won't be around by then mate. These types of supporters like to lecture everyone during the off season and at the years start and then when they are inevitably proven wrong, they disappear.
