I am OK with the effort in defence, particularly in the first half. I'd like to know the possession count. We couldn't have had more than 40% Our attack is ordinary, with so much to be done. As long as they keep putting the effort in defence in over the rest of the year I will be OK. After we...
Genuine question as I don't know much about Noddy as a coach, can you expand on your thinking with the last line of your post, 'He might not be the coach we want but I think he could be the coach we need.'
I was at Geoff's funeral today as well. It was a great send off for a highly respected and loved man. It was really nice to meet a couple of forum members there as well. God bless you all. Love to get a win in his honour this weekend.
Agree Finnzo. We all know this season is lost, and we don't want the spoon. But really if we stay 14th - woohoo! (sarcasm by the way). I have to trust Sheens with the selection of coach. The coach selections made by the board over the past ten years have been poor to abysmal....maybe if Cleary...
The Poms know how to produce some excellent forwards. Gareth was up there with the very best - a huge hole when he left. Funny thing, when I was a kid, the Poms were have known for having great halves, such as Rodger the Dodger. If they could have produced a Johns, Fittler, Langer, Thurston in...
Sheens is going OK in my opinion. He made a mistake (if it was him) announcing to the media they were after Ciraldo. Take a leaf out of Bennett and Gould's book - deny, deny, deny...until it happens. As for sacking Madge, I don't agree with posters that Madge stabilized the organisation and...
2022 - give players a go who want to stay here and give 100%
- get the coach sorted - hopefully one of Payten, Morris, Flanagan, Wolffe
2023 - improve in all areas on the field - make the finals or go close
2024 to 2025 - make the finals both years
2026 to 2028 - make the finals all...
I know what you mean. I remember Alan Jones taking over Balmain around 1991 or 1992. The team were just starting to slide and he looked terrible as a coach. He probably was terrible anyway, but it didn't help starting with a high profile team past their best. I really think Flanagan, Morris, or...
I would keep Brooks because of the money we need to give another club to take him. I agree his form is poor, however, and you do need to try something different if it is not working. There are 3 or 4 forwards that should also be spending a bit of time in reserve grade - Garner, Tuilagi to name...
I could go with any of the three as well. My favourite would be Todd Payten. So I suppose, for me, there is a high chance we will get one of these coaches - trying to be positive.
