So I watched this gigantic fraud. He can’t even pronounce Tesi Niu’s name right after coaching him for a year. His observations on fullbacks are after the fact. Like telling you which horse will win, after the race.
You had me at jerk.
) they had 4 on 3 with Milford exposed, Niu standing flat footed and, they also had a 2 on 1 outside Fifita.
I'm not sure it is just that simple. For mine there are 2 issues. First the bias against Seibold and Milford which is of course understandable and well grounded. However, the 2nd issue is letting that bias stand in the way of simply looking at the message and not the messenger, where the message is entirely relevant, whether or not Seibold headed up a shitty defensive coaching staff.
Looking at Seibold's analysis, I see something useful, and something worrying.
Just for the sake of accuracy as opposed to overt bias, BOTH times the ball went to Fifita for his tries, the Titans had, in the first try, 4 on 3 with Isaako way out of the picture after positioning himself on the wrong side, and in Fifita's 2nd try, Titans had at the start of the play, 7 on 4, again no Isaako, and we had also stacked the short side when the attack was clearly going long, with NOBODY talking to move to the long side where the bloody ball was obviously heading.
At the point that Titan's shape formed before the ball went to Fifita (how bleeding obvious was that play
THAT is shit FB play, shit defensive structural organisation and no communication.
To attribute all the blame simply to Milford for his admittedly poor attempts at one on one with Fifita is for mine, utterly missing the point.
As well, and what's worse, for Walters to ALSO do that, to miss the point by simply swapping Croft for Milford and in his presser, not acknowledge both the shitty defensive reads by Isaako and our lousy defensive structures is, well, not a good look for a new coach in his 1st season.
If there's no improvement in our defensive structures this week, then things look really grim.
If I am missing something in my analysis, please let me know.
You raise a very valid point. Though, Devil’s advocate here, you could also argue that Milford having 185 games of first grade experience spanning 8 years , being one of the senior players at the cub, and holding one of the controlling positions in the team, Milford could have done what Morgan did and notice the numbers and direct the defence himself. Yes, Isaako was on the wrong side and the risk would be stretching the middle defence if communication broke down but Milford could’ve attempted to get the message to the guys on his left.I'm not sure it is just that simple.

Throw him a burger. That'll open it.
The trouble with getting on your little kelpie dog and running along with the ball carrier is it's not your only job at fullback, where a half is just as likely to kick and you have to be there to save it. That kick is rarely straight ahead, and he will be trying to kick between his marker's legs and wrongfoot you. The faster you're moving the more likely he'll catch you out.
Exactly. What I've noticed with Isaako is he often effects a tackle but doesn't prevent the try. Whereas Boyd seemed to avoid being anywhere near the tackle. To my untrained eye he looked like he was throwing games by being lazy. It wasn't because he couldn't read the play. He was avoiding the play. Which made it all the more galling.
But but but you're glossing over something here. The reason we were defending there. Yep, Milford doing the exact same tackle just 60 seconds before which resulted in a penalty. Not only did he miss tge tackle he conceded 6 more tackles. I'd give much greater consideration of your attack on Isaako if you decided to show some balance and attack the guy who in the first instance set up the Titans try scoring opportunity AND then allowed Fifita to stroll past him.I'm not sure it is just that simple.
