Coaching tactics

[Tiger_heart]

At which point are we going to discuss this? Yes, granted the players are what they are, but when you score only 3 tries (2 of which from dummy half) in 2 games, when there is no communication on the field, and a disgraceful left hand side, with a 1/2 back that is only 7 because of the number he wears, and absolutely NO SENSE OF URGENCY, then blame must be shared all around...

Our attacking structure is fine. When we actually have quality ball we are able to break down opposition defences quite well. The problem is we never get quality ball. We are always working the ball off of our own line.

disagree, we only show any promise when we have quick play the balls. However i bet most teams have the same.

We have no idea how to breakdown a set defence. We go left with block plays get tackled. Go right with block plays get tackled. Bomb or kick it dead on the 5th.

I'm certain they're not playing the way they are trained. There's no structure out there at all. I suspect Madge has the world's best trainers but come game day...the game plan is shelved.

 

[Fraze23]

There's no structure at all. We repeatedly run one out with no shape or support options at all. We often over run the play and players look to repeatedly get in the way of one another.

It's criminal there aren't more plays designed to get Laurie into space.

And then there's our kicking game.

Madge has some massive issues on his hands.

im starting to agree 13 games 26 + is it now thats not ok

and its for that exact reason that i feel sorry for madge.

Yep. Our go forward looks good but our attack is non-existent.

 

[Wounded_magpie]

However this is supposedly Madge’s team.
Very disappointing start to the season

Why was Liddle off the field for so long?
That is a terrible coaching decision

That’s because our attack which includes go forward & ball movement is currently the worst in the comp.

Our kicking game is terrible. Our set plays are non existent. Our structure is ordinary.

We look totally lost in attack & no one is taking control. We look robotic. When we get into good position we look like no one actually knows what to do. Our forwards are asked to make the decision as they get the ball in hand. Their is no urgency in the team at the moment. Very very worrying signs.

 

[cleanskin]

Ha. You assume there are tactics.

Our go forward today was shocking.
1 forward made 100meters, the roosters had 7...
The forwards didn’t roll their sleeves up when we needed them.

We look good for 20-30mins and ran out of puff.

Madge talked about defense... we have had good defense for 60mins of 160mins. Our tatics with the ball in hand are absolutely killing us.

Can Shane Millard coach?
I don’t know that Maguire can.
Oops I’ve said it

It's so hard to tell what is coached and what isn't.... but SURELY they aren't being coached to run around like headless chooks in attack and not put any plays on at all.

Just way too unorganised out there and that goes down to the spine. No one taking control particularly brooks

 

[Zach]

we are insanely flat when we attack, i just cant understand if this is our tactic or not, and our players are being clueless...im so sick of seeing this.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Something is a bit off when 2 of our rejects are now in the starting 17 for one of the premiership heavyweights and we have bums like BJ and Garner. Wouldn’t those 2 guys be laughing.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Very valid question at this point...

1. We fall apart at roughly the same point defensively each week...yet no adjustments and a continually imbalanced bench. We are on a 100 year worst record defensively...yet zero adjustments.

2. There is zero structure...no logical game management...and absolutely ZERO in game adjustments.

We are 2 wins from our last 15 or so games. If this was a rookie coach, he would be gone.

At some point Madge needs to explain what the actual game plan is and why he never makes in game adjustments.

Too many 7 tackle sets for opposition instead of repeat sets for us

Too many mistakes at our own end as well

We were good in the middle as we were last week until fatigue set in

Our kicking game really hurt us today

Andrew Webster would be laughing . Gone from the outhouse to the penthouse
