Quote Ken Gréinjék="Ken Gréinjék"RossRhino - The stupid penalties are happening week in week out and continue to happen. that is down to the coach. '"
I dont believe that the coach (any coach) would send a team out and tell them to give away penalties.....short of fining a player for every penalty they give away or drop every player who gives away a penalty what would you suggest?
Quote Ken Gréinjék="Ken Gréinjék"Why are we dropping the ball on the 1st tackle week in week out and nothing been done about it? '"
Hall dropping the ball on his kick return, Delaney dropping the ball from the scrum etc etc, none of this is a coaches fault, not just Bluey but any coach. You can practice catching a ball all you like but when it comes to the game and you have the defensive line charging up at you thats down to the players.
Quote Ken Gréinjék="Ken Gréinjék"Why aren't we practicing tackling in training?'"
How do you know whether they do or dont practice tackling? I would expect they probably do!
Quote Ken Gréinjék="Ken Gréinjék"The same problems are there each week and the coach should be dealing with it. This is his team now so its on his shoulders and he obviously isnt up to it.
In your view if it isn't the coach then you agree with me that the team isn't good enough.'"
As i said, i think the coach can only do so much, its the players who are making basic mistakes which is putting us under pressure. I do believe it will come right though once we can have some consistancy in our team selection and now that the weather / pitches are hopefully improving.
