Would be handy having Nicho on the bench to cover a HIA in the halves

Been out coached today & didn’t have the game plan to beat a side near the bottom of the table, the Raiders would be hoping they play us twice per season before every draw is released

 

[bort]

Made the wrong call in reaction to Kennedy out and doubled down with the small pack to start game

this is scary

can't be doing this if you want to aim top four.

top four will be out of reach, cowboys and broncos will leap frog us very soon

 

[CrazyMatt]

Our rookie coach hopefully learned some harsh lessons today.

Yep. In those conditions it was always going to be about winning the ruck. We were blown away there. Tolman should have started, it was his kind of game

 

[Wiz]

I said this before, we still haven’t seen what our plan B is when teams rush up on us..
get your sht together coach

 

[Flanno]

He’s a rookie coach, he can get it wrong from time to time it’s about how he learns from it. Don’t be too harsh on him, he’s done pretty good so far

I hear you but it’s games like that where we should win that will make us miss top 4 who knows even top 8..

He’s a rookie coach but our game plan was wack

If we had won Broncos and this game, we would have a very nice 4pt buffer. Now, everyone has caught up to us.

 

[MMsharks]

he will learn from this
thats the beauty
we need good time to get those troops rested and get back into it

 

[Wilson]

Coaches a winning game where we win a man down for 60 minutes and it’s parades through the streets.

Coaches a losing game where we lose the ball 60 times and it’s pitchforks.

Never a dull moment on this site

First year. Fitz fits

 

[apezza]

Interesting press conference which made my eyebrows raise:

1. When asked if the Nicho experiment failed he said that he has played fullback before so didn't think it would be a problem.

(I think the problem wasn't his fullback playing abilities but upsetting the harmony of the greater side)

2. When asked what the other fullback options were Metcalfe and Miller were mentioned. Fitz wasn't sure if Miller was ready and said the Metcalfe hadn't trained or played at fullback this year.

He also said Trindall had earned the right to start and that he wasn't helped by his team mates. He especially referenced the senior players who had to stand up today.

He also hinted that Dale will be out for a while with his knee injury.

 

[Deleted member 3365]

He's right about Trindall. Forwards didn't set the platform and having Nicho play halfback, 5/8th, hooker, lock, fullback didn't help either.

 

[Bundy Shark]

Yeh, we are only 10 games in but his persona in pressers is very calm & composed, I’m not saying I don’t not like it but I really hope he has a spray in him cause I fear we have more shite like today to dish up with the playing group based on there up for a game & flat for a game mentality.
