Went to the Lidcombe oval games today. Left disgusted at 1/2 time of KOE.Yep Alaimalo, Kirk & Casey were Ron Massey standard today.
Feledy, Broederlow, Cayne Nicholas, Herman & Sukkar were at their age Flegg level.
TDS lost it mentally today something he has to get better at.
The constant shuffling of players positions is surely a part of it too. Eg...Sukkar is a prop, then he is 2nd row. Casey is a centre, then a wing, now a half. Feledy is left centre, now right centre. Valevatu is a hooker, then a half, then a lock, then a bench utility player.How can a team be exposed constantly on the wings from simple shifts?
Watch the tries against us on the NSWRL video highlights & you will think you are watching U12s.
How is this team coached?
Didn't look like he wanted the tough carries and his 1 run he only ambled in. Didn't have much of a go last week either. Been a bit disappointed in his last fortnight, as when he is on, he is such a damaging runner.And what was the go with Herman only taking 1 hitup in 40mins? Coaching structure? TDS did seem to take another option at times when Herman was set.
Absolutely pitiful all round!
Yes, Aaron Payne has not covered himself in glory. I found it telling earlier this year when Richo agreed that we needed more NRL experience players in our Cup team. Almost as if it was a plea from the coach.Honestly believe any chance players had of been develop has been set back by 2 years of inept coaching this season.

End of the day, it is injuries, poor roster management and it is the first year of any real direction across the grades. Give it a couple of years and we'll see. Right now the Raiders and Bulldogs are a few years down that path and are right at the top of most grades from Matts onwards.
Getting belted every week effects the players confidence, it does not help develop young players whatsoever.Yes, Aaron Payne has not covered himself in glory.

Think you have hit the nail on the head here. They don’t really value lower grades and use it as trials for first grade. Interestingly, they often refer to the HM team of 23 and the talent from that team.I also think picking guys from flegg age up into KOE is not really helping their development. I get what their trying to do, play them against men so they are ready for first grade asap. But wonder if this has a detrimental effect on their development to not play in a winning culture?!? We did the same thing with SG ball this season, playing players up. I’d rather they stuck together and were winning as l the way through the grades to keep that winning culture.
Betsey.So is Matt Betsey to blame? Didn't he come from a cricket background?
Is Arron Payne to blame from a coaching POV.
Personally, our recruitment in the lower grades has been terrible. Massive overall is required to if these so called superstar kids are to come through in the right environment.
I’ve said this many times before, we are virtually the only NRL club that makes next to no changes to their playing roster during the season despite extremely poor results.Betsey.
Not doing a good job it seems.
