Uncoached

[southerntiger]

Sirro is right. There is no game plan and no coaching going on. At least with Taylor, whilst you may not have agreed with his game plan, it was clear there was one.

And, last year we played some decent footy, although some crap footy too. The only real difference in personnel are Moses and Simona.

Our best game this year was against Souths Rd 1, again when Taylor was coach. Since IC's appointment, we have gradually become less and less of a cohesive unit.

I am very worried about the future of this club.

The si called big 4 screwed our season, we were never gonna recover

Okay. So thats the line we are going with to explain why our side has got worse since we put the Big 4 saga behind us.

When they basically said you guys are not good enough players to stick around, you don't think that split the playing group.
You don't come back from that, plus the only nember of the big 4 to stay is so far out of form he looks like he wants out too

I get the challenges. Its funny how similar challenges weren't raised in defence of the coach last year.

In the presser clreay noted that his job hasn't really even started and that a lot has changed since he started.

We may have managed to scramble to 9th place, but it was flukey. The comp was weaker, a few teams bombed their seasons. Parra lost points, would have finished higher than us. Copped some absolute floggings. It was hardly a season of success.

A lot of our players don't have a roll next year either through decisions of their own or Ivan's, additionally this season has been a hiding to nothing since rd2 - that was clear as day.

That coach that has us paying 1 million of our cap to have players play for other teams this year, yeh he was a gem

I'm not blaming JT just stating the fact that Cleary didn't pick this squad ..I'm not copping out either KS ,,I'm just peed off watching this crappy team lose week in week out … most sides would have flogged the titans tonight ...but blaming Cleary for a team of reserve graders is the cop out ...

 

[Milky]

Say what you want…if things don't improve next year, I'm out.

No finals series in 8 years is a joke and I don't want any part of it. Done with the game.

You're not alone. It's getting exhausting. Year after year it's the same rubbish. Unfortunately I'm not that confident about next year.

Mate hang in there, I have followed wests and weststigers for nearly 50 years, and a lot of those years were heart breakingly bad.
We will rid our club of nearly all the deadwood, and we won't be paying players to play for other teams like we have been, 1 million of our cap this year.
We will have much better days next year mate so stay on the bus.

 

[Club_Sandwich]

We haven't got the cattle. Plain and simple.

We were told to expect this from Cleary. He's rebuilt two other clubs and this is just the way it works. I'm more concerned about the momentum in signing players and specifically Rona, Watson and Tupou.

I expected this year to be a tough year but the lack of a game plan and improvement in key areas is very concerning.

Lovett and MCK being picked each week has to end.

The selection of Lovett just beggars belief. He wouldn't make the starting 17 in ANY other first grade and most ISP sides. If this joke is in our 17 again next week I'm cancelling my membership.

 

[timmings01]

Not Cleary fault …this squad was built by Taylor .my only criticism is his selection of Kev m ...half the squad is t of first grade standard but Cleary has no option but to pick the same reserve graders week in week out .

The biggest cop out post of the year. How can you explain your reasoning when Taylor got better results with this so called self built squad? So if the results were better with Taylor, whats your answer to the question of what has Cleary done for this team?

Clearly has sent us backwards.

Just go away with all your logic you're spoiling the outrage. :wink:

I see where your coming from Milky. My boy is at the age where he's starting to understand the game and I feel like it's child abuse having him support his Dad's team. I don't want him to go through what I have the past 37 years. We live in Melbourne so I'm afraid he may get tired of watching his team get beaten year in year out and start supporting AFL.

Agree. Comparing JT to Cleary is like comparing dog poo and caviar. JT was a muppet of the highest order.

It's hard on the kids for sure .
I can't keep BS to my young fella …saying hang in there ...we'll come good :laughing:
I've told him if he wants to follow another team to go for it !

Agree. I just don't want Junior getting into AFL. It'd be heartbreaking.

It's quite simply the cattle that we have. Cleary has said from the beginning that he wasn't planning on making his mark on the team during this year, instead he would tweak a few of Taylor's tactics i.e Rushing Defence, positional changes etc. The cattle that Jason Taylor assembled were to suit his tactics and they simply were not good enough, and Cleary has his eyes set on long term success and culture change, which isn't going to happen in 3 months. As well as this, the win against the cowboys, the game against Parra that we let go, as well as the game against Cronulla where we were in the game for 60 minutes at Leichhardt were all signs that under Cleary that we are an improved side, it's just going to take time.

As for Brooks the boy is going to have a rough time this season. Woods was really the only forward that stood up tonight and we have a pathetic bench that lacks both experience and power that will change next year. He's being relied on to kick on last every time down that left corridor which is killing him and making him look one dimensional and would look better roving across the field, especially with Tui's best game being when he takes the line on. Next year with a partner in Reynolds as well as a superior forward pack and a pre season under IC the boy will thrive. No one came close to him in Junior ranks, and both his representative honours as well as his debut shows that he has the talent, but he will be guided. Once we have Matulino, Packer, McQueen and hopefully another backrower and front rower punching through the middle Brooks will be the halfback that not only takes control, but becomes the source of our points for years to come.

It's going to take time, it always was. Cleary has only put the broom through the kitchen, he's got plenty of the house to go. WTTID.

How old are you ? I've been supporting the team about 35 years. It hurts but this is how it is. I guarantee we till turn it around at some point.

 

[Knuckles]

It will take a few years to recover from where we are now. It looks like we have hit rock bottom but I wouldn't pin my hopes on any quick recovery. I know it will be a new team next year and to expect improvement ….. but I can't see it being anything spectacular. Hope I'm wrong.
