I actually think they all busted their guts last night, knowing their careers are at stake. You have to blame talent and coaching at this point, not attitude. The only exceptions being Glenn, who is clearly past it, and Hunt, who is somewhere between rusty and past it.

Kevvy's subtext is blaming the cattle. He doesn't think he can coach this lot. That might be at least partly true, but there are talented players in this team who are trying, and who have not progressed under his coaching. Turpin busts his guts every game, but even with his talent ceiling he's looking undercoached. I could go right through the team and not find one who's got better this season. TPJ has managed not to get pinged as much, but at the cost of menace. Nope, can't think of one player who looks like he's benefited from the Red Hill experience. Those who have shone however briefly, seem to have found their feet in the ISC.

I think the issue is our players are all just stupid. Can’t fix stupid unfortunately

In fairness, our coach is known more for being a good bloke than a genius:

That clip might have just convinced me to give Kev an 8 in the other thread.

I don't know if that's true, but he was fairly much invisible. But if you look at the stats, he doesn't stand out as being notably poorer than his peers. Bear in mind he shifted to the centres when Arthars was injured. For example:

Passes to receipts

Hunt: 12 to 16
Gamble: 16 to 32
Niu: 10 to 27
Farnworth: 2 to 15

Gamble clearly got the ball more but Hunt was more likely to pass it.
Farnworth hogged it.

Tackles, missed, ineffective

Hunt: 21, 2, 4
Gamble: 26, 3, 2
Turpin: 46, 2, 6
Farnworth: 11, 2, 1
Niu: 1, 2, 1
Coates, 7, 2, 0
Glenn: 27, 8, 0
Robati: 42, 1, 3

Not a lot to see there other than Niu didn't do much in defence. Glenn was well below par. And Robati is earning his spot.

Errors, Handling errors

Hunt: 0, 0
Gamble: 0
Farnworth: 1, 1
Turpin: 1, 1
Paix: 1, 1 + stripped
Niu: 3, 2
Glenn: 1, 1

Niu made a lot of errors. But fullbacks usually do.
I'm sure Glenn was worse than that.

Runs, Metres

Hunt: 5, 33
Gamble: 5, 37
Turpin: 3, 19
Niu: 15, 125
Farnworth: 14, 139
Coates: 7, 33

Turpin doesn't run enough. Farnworth hogs. Coates didn't get enough ball.

I honestly think they may have mixed Glenn’s tackle count up with his ineffective tackle count.

Just out of curiosity, how do you expect him to act? The club bent him over and were proven to be stupid to do so. Wayne hasn't won the premiership for a while but he still wins games. Also does it surprise you that players want to play for him and then leave when he leaves? Not that he has any control at Souths.

I didn’t watch the game but heard Hunt didn’t touch it until 30 minutes in and upon first touch got absolutely belted. Is that true?

Hunt got towelled up in all facets of the game last night. Young guys smashed him in attack and in defence he got his ankles broken by graham. It was hard to watch. Reminded of that Geelong cats game where they bullied the crap out of an old michael voss

Paix looked more damaging than Turpin last night, although some of Turpins kicks into the corners were good kicks that gave us a chance to belt them in defence

Niu was good, the tackle he made on the Souths player 1 on 1 was the sort of thing we've been looking to see from our fullback, there's some real potential there and he seems to come back a better player than his last stint under Seibold's watch

Karmichael, thanks for the memories but he's not even a quarter of the player he once was. His intent was strong, trying to put on some big hits but ultimately we get nothing out of him with ball in hand.

For me the result is insignificant, the big story is that TPJ is being told to look for another club and that the broom is going through the club, no fan wants to hear that because it essentially means we are a few years away, at a minimum.

If not now, when though?

I agree but it doesn't change the fact that if you are a fan of any club in any professional sport the last thing you want to hear is "restructure".

Ludicrous

That cannot be real

 

[Brocko]

Sorry, 3 weeks minimum, 4 if challenged unsuccessfully. Grade 1 crusher

Must be due to loading. He did practically nothing.

Yeah for sure. Understand. We just need to rip the band-aid off and get it done.

 

[BroncosFever]

3 weeks, 4 weeks, 10 weeks.. it doesn't matter, he will be serving that at another club
