Time for the Coach to man up !

[Brett Thurbon]

His job is on the line now, the hard calls have to be made. Forget 2013, we need to start to look to the future. Reddy,Blair,Pettybourne, have to go. If we are stuck with Marshall until 2015, play him at half, Sirro is no half-back. Ayshford to the backrow, see how lawrence comes back, if he doesnt improve, its goodbye to him as well

Potter is doing a great job with what he inherited .

 

[Tigerdave]

Don't really see how his job is on the line, he's inherited a poor side, had no involvement with recruitment and has been at the helm of probably the worst injury list anyone has seen for some time.

Some tough calls will need to be made yes, but we're kinda stuffed with all the injuries and it's not just first grade, NYC and State have a few as well.

 

[Brett Thurbon]

have you seen us play ? he has had enough time to stamp his authority…......Adam Blair, I rest my case

 

[innsaneink]

Not that simple

2nd tier cap and all that crap

How is Potter's job on the line?
Geez one game makes everyone turn hey….
I thought all were very average tonight.
Brisbane were horrible and didn't deserve any of those tries.
Put the whole team on notice and drop a big name player or two and they'll be at least looking like they're trying on Saturday night.

Who do you replace him with Maggie ? Somebody who brings some abc rowers and centres with him ?

 

[Brett Thurbon]

Exactly my point, if the same team runs out on Saturday, it sits with him

 

[innsaneink]

His hands are tied magpie….salary cap

 

[Brett Thurbon]

If I had all the answers, they could replace him with me, just saying its time for him to show who is boss

His hands are tied magpie….salary cap

I don't think he's giving the salary cap a great deal of thought.

 

[clontarfkid]

Potter is doing a solid job in extremely challenging circumstances,& with a few notable exceptions is generally making the right calls.
I expect him to make a huge call this week with benji,& he wld do the same with Blair except for woods absence

 

[Brett Thurbon]

Then lets just leave it as it is, its all good !!!

Im pretty sure Groat is in the 25…. pop him in the number 7, I mean he couldnt do any worse....

:crazy

that's not what anyone is saying here….......sheesh

Why the Adam Blair hate tonight he played well - 30tackles, no misses, no errors, no penalties given away and made 70 meters in only 35 mins on the field most f which we were defending.

As for potter if this happens next year different story but tonight was down to Missing farah, Marshall playing horrible horrible footy and pettybourne just sucking and reddy making too many mistakes as he regularly does

 

[Black_n_White]

**and reddy making too many mistakes as he regularly does**

Reddy must have shagged your dog? in another thread you said you would punt him but thought about keeping Ayshford and Lawrence…. You sure you know which player Reddy is?

 

[Brett Thurbon]

Everyone is saying what he might/should do, all i am saying is its time for him to do something, after all, thats what he gets paid for

 

[1_4_chicken_chips]

Yep too many non first graders in our side .Marshall and PEttybourne were woeful

 

[Eye_Of_Wests_Tigers]

Im sorry but can any of you Coach bashers do any better with not only the team he has inherited, but also the crippling injury toll that hasnt allowed for any real continuity or gelling with the team. Potter has done a decent enough job with what has happened, but when all is said and done, 2014 is the goal now, look at who HE wants in the team and what HE wants to do.
