Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

Wingers are fundamentally finishers and require their inside men to create the opportunities . Throwing the ball to a winger and say make something happen is not good strategy. It works sometimes r but rarely.
Rather look for slick hands, draw and pass and get quick ball to the winger. It happens at sometime in most games but never with us. We seem to have inept inside men who struggle to throw a good pass or know how to set up their outside supports.
But I forgot, we have a coach who was so highly regarded as a player, could throw
bullet passes etc UNABLE to coach that into our backs.

To’o and Xavier Coates? Deine Mariner? The true modern day wingers are game changers. And they need to do some work.

Let’s face it he’s shown nought.

Has he played in the NRL side is his position….nup

So he’s shown nought at training too.

Of course they do but they’re still fundamentally finishers.

That’s a very important aspect of the role no doubt. But they could go a whole game without an opportunity. I’d be picking my wingers based on their grunt work and effort plays such as kick chase.

Josh Schuster Mk2.

I hope he’s laying off the KFC. Has the look of a guy who could blow out. Feleti Mateo like.

Na, they had stronger hamstrings

Looks like a few weak humans on the forum this morning.

Whilst we all argue about wingers and centres etc here's another question? Would there be any benefit in approaching Brad Arthurs for a consultancy for the remainder of the year ? The guy has 10 years coaching experience at 1st grade level, he has taken his sides further than any of our coaches over the same period and has recent experience in working out plays to exploit our considerable weaknesses and to minimise any strengths we may have. Knowing what other coaches seek to exploit and how they coach their sides against us may well be invaluable to our coaching panel. He would have an EXPLICIT role and made sure he would not be considered for the role should it become vacant so there's no need for him to white ant the existing structure.

Latu has played out of position and clearly has been hampered by his hamstring injury.

Once he overcomes the injury and he gets an opportunity in the halves, hopefully you'll see his promise. As a junior, he was a better prospect than Galvin.

Yeah but that was as a junior.

Galvin is the man now.

Sam Fainu has been outstanding. Latu - not so much.

Do you think the board will talk to the Football department and Benji before getting Brad Arthur on board. 🤣

Let’s get BA to do an independent audit - we’re due for another one.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Who do we think Wayne Bennett will take to the Rabbits?

I reckon short odds 3 off-contract Dophins who will follow are Kodi Nikorima, Euan Aiken & Ray Stone. Seem to be Bennett favourites. Maybe Tesi Niu a consideration.

Well he could tell us what opposition coaches think of our team/tactics and how they plan to play against us. Hearing bluntly how poor our team is and the unfathomable tactics we use might be a wake up call to save us from a 3peat.

Bit of chatter around JMK too,

He can talk from Nov
Might seek an early release 🤷‍♂️

For Christ sake we have plenty of coaching staff, don't need anymore. Give Benji and his gang time to do what is in there plans.
