Now I have no Rugby League playing experience whatsoever. I hold no coaching certificates, I don't profess to be a great analyst of the game. My tipping record backs that up. But if I can see how disorganised, disjointed, underprepared, slow, one out, soft in defence we are, why can't the coaching staff?
For what it's worth, here's what I would do with team selections this week.
TC is busted. He is not 100% fit and got absolutely nailed today in a tackle! Wouldn't surprise me if he broke ribs.
Give him the next month off. Train as normal, work on his fitness but most importantly get himself refreshed. He has the most pressure on him, he is the playmaker but ALL opposing teams now know if you shut down Todd Carney, you shut down Cronulla. He looked really frustrated out there today.
We are already behind the pace as far as the season goes and if we somehow get back on our feet we will need TC firing on all cylinders. So let's rest him now.
Ayshford and Jono need to shake hands with the NSW Cup coach. Likewise Prior and De Gois.
I was going to put up my team for the Warriors game but couldn't find any replacements for the ones I wanted sacked.
I would check with the NRL and put Brown up there. Hang it, even Lichaa, though he's gone to the dogs. De Gois is sadly out of form. Morris is still OK to start but I'd have Lichaa on the bench and if we can get salary cap dispensation put Brown at 6 for a few games.
Could not possibly go any worse than today.
