Crazy what good coaching can do

I'm more surprised that Payten didn't get the flick last season.

 

[Cult]

Shame Ikin has stated we are happy with the guys we have

Did he say this or we won't be going to the market next year? Because we should be going to the market this week

Crazy what good coaching can do

think it's easier with someone like Townsend next to him , but yes Thurston has done him the world of good

 

[Cult]

Drinkwater isn't the answer to our fullback questions. You want to target a fullback, Reece Walsh is your man. Need to stop settling for stop gap solutions. You think Nui was bad yesterday in defence, Drinkwater is a walking turnstile and always has been. Its why he isn't in the NRL

I would settle for someone who can come in, catch bombs, stands behind our forwards waiting for an offload, can tackle and doesn't defend in the line on the last tackle.

1 Drinkwater
6 Gamble
7 Reynolds
9 Walters
14 Paix

This group would do their jobs well enough each week.

I have learned quickly that a lot of people on here aren’t interested in what players are capable of in defense.

Just look at the Billy Walters to replace Turpin suggestions, Turpin makes 50 tackles a game in the middle of the field, how’s Billy Walters going to pull that off? They see him with some nice stepping and think he’s the answer, as if tackling doesn’t even matter.

Walters and Paix would share the minutes more than Turpin and Walters. Neither should be 70 minute hookers.

 

[Cult]

He is at 6, not so much at fullback. Like i said before, if he couldnt have defended and play the fullback role, Bellamy would never have put him in pole position to take over from Slater. The big problem with Drinky is he wants to play 6.

Pretty sure he wants to play NRL more

 

[Wolfie]

Pretty sure he wants to play NRL more

He probably does, but if he wants to play 6 he might hold out for a while.

If Kevvie is unable to correctly interchange Turpin/Billy, what makes you think it will improve with Billy/Paix?

 

[McHunt]

You'd think having Langer, Walters, Lockyer, Boyd and Prince on tap would add some value to our halves.

Not having the preconceived notion that one of them can be a 70 minute tackle machine hooker, maybe?

do you really think Niu defends in the line off his own back ?
Niu is strong in support yeah he's had trouble in his defence and bomb defusal but Drinkwater was similar. he's a much better 6

didn't have a Townsend next to him and extra preseason, our was he supposed to be great right off the bat .

I think he gets caught out position-wise and doesn’t have the speed to get to the ball in time. I’m sure the game plan isn’t to defend in the line and not move back until it’s way too late

So Kevvie isn't smart enough to realise Turpin shouldn't be playing 70? Either way, not good coaching.

Or Carrigan shouldn’t play 68 minutes without a break

one loss and your off .

I just don’t rate it.

what do you rate ? because it doesn't seem like much
