Madge might be unhappy but here is my wishlist for him;
1. Sack your scouts, get scouts who can find young good talent.
2. Look after them from the age of 15 just like Sydney Roosters, Broncos and Melbourne do.
3. Sack whoever it was that suggested buying Jennings
4. **GET A GOAL KICKER.** I watch Rugby as well in Canberra and there are 20-year-old kids everywhere who can kick goals from the side line in 3rd grade and under 16's
5. Tell Brooks to start playing the game and running at the line from the opening minutes NOT the last 10 when we have to play catch up.
6 STOP running inside line balls 10 meters from the defensive line . It is so easy to defend against it. Do it by running at the line and then an inside ball.
7. At training PRACTICE a few moves to put on inside the 20 meters that does not involve a stupid kick on the ***THIRD*** tackle
8. Get somebody who can pass from dummy half. The speed and direction of passing from dummy half is the slowest in the comp.
9. At training PRACTICE fast line speed defense. A slow jog up of your line means that the opposition gets over the advantage line every play the ball. Which means their kick on the 5th tackle is an attacking kick ........not a defensive one like ours.
10 GET a fast winger.
11 Get a centre? Get a full back
12. Stop paying Masters whatever he is getting to just run from dummy half.
13. Actually, when you do a move ( see point 7) Think about how he much be invloved by running on to the ball at pace.
14. Go to UK and get a ball playing forward. Esinghuth / Taylor are not up to it and too slow. Perhaps even buy a fast UK winger who can kick goals. There's only about 30 of them!!!!
15. Sign Robbie off after his 300th. To slow,
16. With a small pack, have your forwards sometimes run two off the ruck and time your dummy half pass so they get the ball just behind the ruck (not 7 meters back ) so they at least get over the advantage line. Also kindly ask them to run a full pace ......not a quick 3/4 jog.
17, Tell Lawrence he is allowed to pass the ball.
18. Come up with a way to get out of our 10 meters OTHER than poor Corey Thompson ( at 85kg) hitting it up or fat , slow, unfit Jennings.
19 Heres a trick I was taught at under 10s 40 years ago. When you hit the ball up have somebody follow them in case they make a half a break. It also puts the defense in two minds.
20. Taylor is good but gives a minimal one penalty away a match. Dock him $2000 a penalty.
21 Instead of always waiting to the 4th tackle, try and be a bit inventive by using one of your moves ( see note 7) on the third or maybe the second.
22 Expand your moves beyond the "two players run through, pass out the back" It dosn't work.
