Any good attack assistant coaches out there???

It seems the best in the business is the guy Broncos recruited from the UK Lee Briers.

Don't think Benji will bring anyone in that he doesn't know & trust so maybe Todd Payten or even Ben Hornby who Benji played under at Souths.

I think Todd already has a job.

When we kick the ball 50-60m downfield even Usain Bolt would have trouble getting there.
They kick deep to get down the other end, but not to the corners and too far to contest.

I know what your saying but you still have to apply pressure with a chase, and there was virtually no chase

 

[liltiger]

Of course we do but why did we think it would work in the first place !

No idea.

Every other club strengthens up mid season, not us.
Schoupp doesn’t even get in Manly’s team when they are full strength, he walks into ours at the moment.

He does, but he's also got a reputation of a wanker, so we probably don't target those types for whatever reason.

Talau on multiple occasions threw the ball over the sideline in a two on one situation. That’s the shit you can’t do in first grade, even more so at a struggling club.

Dispute facts all you like, they’re still facts.

I'm not disputing any facts. Just offering another dimension to to your assessment. Just eluding to a player or two who never hit star status with us and yet can stick it to us in an opposing team. Aloaia, Madden, Talau.
So Talau threw the ball over the side line on a number of occasions? Who's to say he didn't pick up that style of play from our coach while at the Tigers?

We haven't kicked the ball 50-60m once all season. Even our kickoffs barely go 45m!Most of our kicks are barely 30-40m, and low. Abysmal, why haven't they improved?

Brad Arthur and Barrett might be available soon

The bloke who worked his ass of yesterday with 5 runs for 42 metres? No thanks

Thats what im saying. He will fit in well. But at least he is a pig. Body on the line stuff.

 

[weststigerman]

Turuva at least wouldn’t run away from the ball and always leave it the his winger, that would be a big improvement.

I think your hate for Bula might be blinding you a tad.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What's the age difference btwn Bula and Turuva?

Nothing says body on the line like 42 metres from 5 runs

These are errors you learn are unsatisfactory well before going pro.two on ones your centre should do with their eyes closed.
