Bite the bullet coach

[Snake]

Sign someone that can work out attacking structures as you are becoming an embarrassment ! 5up and kick is getting tiresome the bomb is a percentage play and you won early today with that ..but it just kept happening . All I have seen from this team for over a year is a group of individuals that have no idea what to do with the ball ! If you have no idea sign someone that does!

Change the coach as much as you like, Brooks will remain the same.

 

[Blacknwhite]

we were in that game for 80.... the whole 80.

We werent demolished up and down the park. Without errors, and 6 again penalties we were doing quite well field position wise...

The big difference was, when we were within striking distance, our players passed the ball to someone else hoping they could make something of the situation. The Eels played as if they were each trying to make options for the next man.

Mentality.

Its called structure and this team has none.

Our attack is disgraceful, Brooks is only part of the problem, but a constant, the reggies halves are crap, I know why they want Hastings, Madge has a lot to answer for

 

[izotope]

Everyone should have there hand up, first half we were out enthused in line speed, ruck speed. Almost every play they have players in motion we were hot potato and flat flooted.

Madge might want to skip a pre game speech next week

Don't worry about the attack so much - we managed 22 against one of the better sides. By far the most points Eels have conceded this year.

Worry first about the absolutely brittle goal-lime defence.

That’s hitting nail on the point.
We are like three stooges defending high balls and kicks.
Ant no energy and desperation shown.
We lost today bont because Brooks didn’t fire or the ref made a bad call etc. We lost it purely due to our defensive structure.
What I would give for someone like Terry Randal, Les Boyd Wayne Pearce or Garrett Ellis.

I’m not worried about our attack at all. Our defence is what cost us today and in Rd 1 and 2. We need to fix that.

Agreed..but you know..

 

[Snake]

Agree @jirskyr and @momo_amp_medo.
As much as we need our attack to click, we need much more solid defence than that. It was honestly annoying to watch us stand back and wait for the opposition, in a fair chunk of the game.

Said it in another thread, there's too much trepidation from the team and it's why I'm not a fan of certain selections - including our starting forwards or our rotation - as we tend to have no line speed or urgency due to those couple of little problem areas and other teams are exposing this.
Though our attack looks better(or flows more easily) on that left hand side Talau and Kepaoa are unfortunately letting us down and they've not shown any redeeming qualities at this point. We're hoping for our spine to click but when our support players are this poor, what do we expect.

How was Joey?
Never caught all the game but there's been some positive feedback on him and Kiah Cooper that I've read.

Joey played ok and seems positive played a team game ..rekon a call up next week .

The game now is about scoring points the old game is dead you know no scrums etc etc ...defence is important but scoring points and a lot of them is the game like it or not and the clubs that have jelled to this are winning by 30 the traditionalist are dead and buried .

Cheers @Snake was hoping he'd take this chance to work on both his own game and helping lift the team. There's nothing worse than seeing players lack motivation.

There you go thats a start ...sitting on half way and watching Brooks catch pass and not engage the line nothing has changed my mind this team is GOING nowhere with Brooks at 7.

If he engages the line, then he should have given the outside men early ball, if he gives them early ball he is doing nothing. I thought he showed a good mix in attack today.

If your 5th tackle kick is from inside your own half, your kick options are very limited. That would be on the forwards.

Engaging the line makes the defenders also engage which in in turn opens gaps in the defence hence creating gaps in the defensive line which the Jet ect can expose but hey let's just catch and pass and the defence just marks up.
