I've been in full support of Mick all year, and it seems a lot of people have, given the fan backlash the other week at the rumours he would be sacked.However, he's let a lot of these fans down tonight.
His insistence on picking Marshall has to stop after this. He was as awful as he could ever be. Why hasn't Potter forced a change and made Anasta kick for touch? I'd love to know the record for most missed touch finding kicks in a season. By my count that was Benj's fifth this year. It'd be close to a record, simply for the fact that surely any coach would make a change after the player's second or third error doing this. Marshall just KILLS momentum. It must be so demoralising for the team to get the ball in the attacking 30 or just finally get the ball back, only for Benji to make another ill-advised decision and turn it over.
What has Iosefa ever done to earn a recall? Look, Luani hasn't shown much, but in the short time Masada was on he missed a ton of tackles and offered zero direction around the park. Do yourself a favour Mick and don't ever pick this bloke again. He's been rubbish in 80% of the time he's played first grade and has been involved in a number of our blow out losses over the last two seasons.
Consistently picking underperforming players is to blame for tonight's shellacking. Scream second tier cap all you want but no one's listening anymore. Shift players around. Drop players to the bench. Hook guys who aren't putting in mentally and physically. **Assert your dominance as a coach.**
Some of you will say "I was saying he should drop (insert player's name here) back in Round 6" or whatever. You're right. You should feel vindicated. Just when Potter looked like he'd had his neck saved, it's right back on the chopping block.
