Walker is not the type of half back we need. Does a few flash things in attack but has no powerful kicking game and defense is a huge weakness of his because of his size.
Someone please justify Walker and his price tag.
Massive win sort of papered over how concerning how easy it is to spread and make easy meters against our defensive line. We were saved by mistakes and a few fantastic tackles by Staggs.
Mozer is something else. Fast passes straight to the chest.
If it's one or two players, they get benched moved on.
If the team as a majorityis failing or looking lost defensively / offensively like we have, then theres literally no one more responsible for that then the coach.
I think Walsh is a perfect example of us potentially paying for attacking potential only, and completely forgetting that defense is as big if not bigger part of the game.
"Just gotta fix the errors"
"Just gotta get back to fundamentals"
"Just need to get a few things right"
Broken record.
It's more than holding onto the ball. It's defense. Stopping other team making 60 metres a set.
Regardless of the grade you give Kev over the last 3 seasons -
It's an objective fact that our current trajectory doesn't see us competing and winning games against the top 4 with any regularity, with a sprinkling of getting hammered by an embarrassing scoreline.
It's looking like the best...
I think the time has come to change recruitment strategy to just the best defenders.
Keep overpaying for razzle dazzle attacking youngsters and we just need a team that you can rely on to hold another team to 14 points max consistantly.
**** speed, **** highlight reels. Just defense and...
Post Match: Maybe Kevie will say something that will make this better. Please Kevie make sense of this loss....
Post Post Match Press Conference: Oh my god. We're fucked.

Life at Melbourne is hard.
Problem probably Kevies obsession with the "Broncos" way. When that way hasn't been relevant for 20 years and superior methodologies exist because the advantages of 90's/00's Broncos are almost non-existant.
A) We're paying the price for over paying Haas. (i.e could have kept Herbie or Flegler)
B) Walsh is a million dollar play in attack, but he's along the likes of Sloane for worst defensive full backs in the league and that needs to be factored into his price tag.
C) We're over working...
Seriously though, how many times this year have teams scored 1 try against us and then it all breaks down and that turns into 3-4 unanswered tries. Kinda like the grand final.
