Where do we go now?

Normally I have a long rant post loss...

But I have nothing. We have tried all approaches and none have worked. Our goal line D is appalling. One set and we crack. Madge has talked about resolve and character, but there is absolutely no proof of that.

Benji has had 20 good mins in two months, but the club will probably trot him out for positive PR all week.

AD and Liddle tons of heart, but the senior players are serial non winners. Roosters had half a team out today.

When it gets tough, or a game is needed...we just are rarely ever in the battle mentally.

How do we change the culture?
 
We need to get winners in and around the club. Change the media perception of us as well.
We have strong sponsors behind us, time to use them
 
Good question. Mentally we failed to turn up and as soon as something goes against us we fall apart. I don't get it, it's not a question of fitness or strength. It's mental, it's the same thing year after year regardless of the coach and I don't know what else they can do to turn it around. I'm not convinced Bellamy could get this mob into the 8.
 
New halves that will take the line on every play. Opposition just slide as they know there is no risk especially when they are playing out the back 3m off the defensive line.

It just boggles me this hasn't been sorted.
 
I never thought I'd say this but I cant wait for Benji to retire. My god we need a completely flush out of whatever has been here the last decade because they havent tasted success.
 
Reality is most of our starting team isn’t up to it, but they are the best we have.

We have the slowest team in the comp & and a forward pack of pillows.

Until we get better players and clean the old gap fillers we won’t improve.
 
Madge needs to take some of the blame,player selection still not right,Twal should have started and why Reynolds isn't starting at 6 I don't know.Benji,Garner,Joey awlful,need to all be dropped,horrible defence,where was McIntyre?
 
Whole team looks confused and not expecting the ball or catching the ball flat footed. Line speed in defence has evaporated.

Can’t help but think the halves chopping and changing has contributed to that.

Surely Benji is in his last year...
 
Must admit I am really disappointed...today more so than others.

They had nine out...no Keary...Tedesco was quiet...and yet they scored almost every time they were in our 20.

Almost 40 points put on us.

By simple draw and pass plays...simple cut out balls.

We just showed absolutely nothing when asked to show some heart and guts.

Click to expand...

But Bellamy would not have picked Marshall for the past month.

Benji's D has been attrocious and a few games have been 16-0 and gone early on his amateur level defensive reads alone.

He was dropped for exactly these reasons...yet somehow given the spot now for six games straight and been MUCH worse.

I am disappointed in Madge at this point. Shift Mbye there...play Josh...see if AD can be our long term 6.

At least make a move.

Madge knew Benji was a massive issue after a month and actually acted, yet has sat passively by now whilst the season slipped by.
