The most unintelligent team in football.

[rah53]

I don't have any positives to say about this club. There doesn't seem to be ANY intelligent minds anywhere. Nothing is learned. Nothing is gained. Honestly, I'm just as stupid for investing my money on a membership.

I'll get Pascoe to send you some lovely graphs.

It is hard to blame everyone...

**The bottom line is that you need a VERY high IQ 7.**

Cronk...Joey...even guys like Townsend and co...Seizer...the Raiders pom also...so, great 7s down to ordinary, they all sound like they know the game of footy when interviewed.

Brooks...and it pains me to say it as he is a local...but you can tell when he talks. He has absolutely no idea how to manage a game or carry out a game plan. His sixth tackle options are the worst I have ever seen from a 100 plus game vet 7. I honestly doubt he even understands the game like a 7 needs to. All his good moments are broken field stuff that requires no thought.

Nothing will change until Brooksy goes....

Agree, he just slightly puts words together better then nofo.......

Yes, I don't want to knock the kid as he is a Balmain junior and I like him. But he does not get it. You can have a "low IQ" prop or a backrower who can't string a sentence together...but you can't have a 7 with those traits. You just can't...

our fifth tackle options today were non existent. what were they doing for 6 months in preseason? terrible. can anyone remember a backline play at any point? we've thrown our shape out the window as well. a lot of work to do until this mob resembles a half decent football side.

 

[rah53]

I'm a fan of the NFL. Every player, before they are drafted, are subjected to a "Wonderlic test", which test the the person's ability on decision making under pressure. I believe 90% of this team would fail that test, and I'm being generous.

Brooks just doesn't have the footy brain to lead a team around, it's that simple. Even at his best, his best attributes were his running, short passing and short kicking. Much more a 5/8's skill set instead of a halfback who leads a team around

Gotta agree, take the pressure off now. Let him be a running 5/8 if we want to salvage the season

Scary to think we were this weak against a Roosters team missing players such as Crichton, Friend, Verrils, Cordner and Radley.

We are 4 points from last. Well done boys. Very well done.

I could see him in a Damien Cook type role.

The video review will be embarrassing.

Yeh but without those players (if they weren't signed with them) they would still be over the cap! That team we played today will beat almost every team in the comp bar maybe storm and Panthers. Let's be real the roosters get double to cap space we do and thats the reason they can have half there team out and still beat most teams.

Roosters,attacking players with SPEED and ABILITY, Teddy,Morris bros.,Manou, Keary, and others, --Wts,- Laurie and no one else. Tactics, Tigers don't have any.

 

[JC99]

One thing I dislike is that we don't give away intentional 6 agains on first or second tackle. All the top teams do it consistently throughout games but for some reason we don't, you'd rather make one extra tackle instead of being under the pump and not getting your defence set.

 

[tig_prmz]

Winning breeds winning.

No offence to the players in this team but how many of them have a win % over 50? I would suspect not many.

I thought Tamou might be able to change that mentality a little bit, he may be able to show the guys what it takes to win and he may even be doing his best but it's not enough.

It is hard for the young kids coming through to be looking up to someone like Brooks or Nofoaluma or Twal who haven't played a single finals game. Or Roberts/Joey with plenty of off-field demons.

Nah that’d be too smart for Noff. We wait till we have defended until the 5th tackle then swat the ball down rather than tackle their winger into touch. Give em 6 more. Smart. I backed his signing but I’m already having doubts.

 

[Harvey]

I am going to call out a few things that may not be popular.

I expected Tamou to be a leader at the club. When we conceded the early try I did not see him pulling the guys together. He was about a metre in front of other players looking at the kicker. I have not idea what is going on there, but that looked like a fractured football team.

On the back of that the number of lazy players that will not chase or support their team mates is unbelievable.

We have a few player that lack any form of resilience. Good teams or confident team will fire up when there are mistakes or the fall behind. 1st try heads dropped and a bunch of out players switched off.

Twal tries hard, but is as slow as a wet week. He is Eisenhuth MKII.

A lot a of players gave up today and in no way did we play as a team

It doesn't really matter who is on the sidelines when Keary and Tedesco are on the field.
