Anyone else getting sick of this?

[innsaneink]

Im used to it…..its been 10 years

What coach in his right mind would come here with all the baggage we have?
A divided board.
BRET//Magpies state cup crap.
Rozelle development
Leagues clubs left right and centre with funding here there and everywhere

Now thats what I call job security unca Timmeh!!!

the sooner they let go of sheens (or sheens steps down) the better.

 

[tiger_pom]

I may be on my own but i thought the dogs were good tonight and although i hate to see us lose this was much more acceptable than all the other losses this year.if we dont recover the season wasnt lost on this performance.

I remember in 2009 Brisbane played a prelim with Lockyer at halfback after Wallace was injured. The Broncos looked ordinary and the Storm blew them off the field. Gus said during the call something along the lines of players are either halfbacks or they aren't. A football team cannot operate without a halfback, no matter how good the player trying to play there is. The game was a prime example of that, Lockyer is one of the players of his generation but he looked overwhelmed. I see a similar situation arising with Marshall there. No matter how good a footballer he is, he isn't a halfback and we aren't the same team when he is there, rather than at 5/8.

Been sick of it for a long time. We are going backwards, players are regressing instead of improving, our defense is getting worse, we can't handle any sort of pressure, our kicking game sucks, our forwards bar one or two lack real impact and aggression, we are mentally weak - the same things that most have been complaining about for a long, long time.

What I am especially sick of is what some people are smoking calling us entertaining. Though that 5th tackle play is about the extent of the entertainment we provide these days.

Five limp hit ups and a hit and hope bomb is not entertaining, it's pathetic. And that's what this team is, pathetic.

Where are all the Sheens lovers now,he is a giant myth,the sooner he goes the better,Marshall is not,and never will be a halfback,please get us a half.
Sirro,did he play,the Miller haters take note,Miller never played that bad,no input in attack,and let in 2 tries in defence.

 

[fergiefurr]

Miller set up all 3 tries in the 20s with brilliant half play

 

[TIGER]

Marshall's just a touch footy player always has been always will be.

The Dogs played their worst game of the season last night and still beat us comfortably. That said, I think if Farah had played we would've won - just.

Benji at 7 just does not work no matter how much sheens persists.

. Yes I agree, Benji is a runner not a organizer .our game plan of 5 hit ups then a bomb is just so boring.on the subject of Benji his defense is terrible

Plenty of guys have been calling for sheens to fall on his sword for at least four seasons,but as always his lovers come in and give us the usual who is better and so on .Well after tonight something has to give.
We have way too many used past date players along with sheens ,and dont think life would get better if eicky sturart signed because he is a sheens clone watch last wednesdays origin if you want evidence ,He went into the game two props short ,played back rowers up front and had farah playing hooker and first reciever.My has been stuart to the raiders for next 3 years,justin morgan to take over from furner until then ,so we can only hope that rumor is right .

That's crap.

How is it crap? Is it just a coincidence that we made the semis and our defence IMPROVED OUT OF SIGHT when Steve Folkes came on board?

This is one of the worst examples of illogical thinking that I have ever seen. Seriously anyone who thinks Folkes was some sort of coaching genius is delusional. Folkes wasn't coaching the team Sheens was. Folkes wasn't the defenisve coach either. He was the strength and conditioning coach and his role was completely replaceable by close to any punter off the street who can use the internet.

 

[magpiecol]

I am afraid that it is Sheens fault for not picking a recognised halfback for this team. Morris (a hooker), Benji (5/8), Farah (a hooker) Humble (fullback, 5/8) Lui (5/8). I may have missed a couple.

We have a perfectly good halfback in the NYC, however for some reason Sheens will not have a bar of him. Why? who knows.

If the ultimate responsibility for the teams performance belongs to the coach, then Sheens, by any standard, has failed this reponsibility. He must go at the end of this season together with a number of our first grade side.

It seems to me that we have quite of few up and coming young, fast players in the lower ranks. If Sheens is to survive, he must give them a go, and soon.

Incorrect!!!

Folkes was also the defensive coach

I don't know maybe I have it wrong. Maybe Folkes was the reason for the Tigers success and it had nothing to do with the head coach.

Maybe he is the reason for turning around St George this year.

Of course reality is that Folkes had next to nothing to do with the club playing well the last couple of years and has little to do with St George playing a lot worse this year but lets not let the facts get in the way of a good story.

As others have suggested, we need a proper halfback. We always have done! I would love to know what has gone down with Miller and why he hasn't been given a proper shot and what the actual plan is. With limited opportunity Miller showed good desire and enthusiasm, and sure he is only young and his game is not perfect but I think he would have given the team better balance.

Because without Robbie it showed just how lacking this team is in attack. There was no plan B beyond Benji and when things didn't fall into place the players looked like a rabble in a game of park touch footy. Benji has WAY too much to do and if his kicking or passing game is 'off' it makes him look terrible. Get him back to where he is best, a little wider of the ruck where he has room to work his sleight of hand and RUN the ball!

Sirro the other young gun who IS in favour, was MIA last night whether his lack of ball was by design or not who knows, but some rather large deficiencies were exposed. He'll still be picked and given opportunity though.

So now it is up to Robbie the Messiah to get back and lift the team. And hopefully he will bring some line speed to our defence, because that was lacking last night too. Maybe Ellis will help there.

The big problem is that unless Sirro fires up and is given more attacking ball, and therefore brings a little more balance to our use of possession, we are pretenders not contenders in attack, and that is where we need to win games because our defence is not premiership material.
