Might be unpopular opinion, but Mam has been overrated as far his half play goes. He does **** all on the fifth tackle and Reyno is under so much pressure to do everything. Tyson is a better option in that regard

Mam is being used almost exclusively for his running game that's why, It's a fine strategy but it kind of falls apart when our middle is doing **** all and there is nothing to work on.

it's pretty much the same combo as what we where doing in 2015 when Kevvie was halves coach, but our middle was a little less soft as shit.
 
Mam has done a very admirable job to start his NRL career - he has no doubt been instructed to focus on defence first and foremost as the foundation of his game, then incorporate his natural running game as he gets comfortable, then down the line he can incorporate more passing, kicking, playmaking etc.

People forget Cleary started the exact same way, especially at Origin level. A young half getting comfortable with the pace and flow of the game and picking moments to be involved and prioritising solid defence and engaging the defensive line through running the ball is the perfect place to start.

It's his first season, plus he's probably too young and too inexperienced to really be playing NRL yet at all - but he's handling it extremely well and looked very promising. We will continue to see his game develop and expand - nothing to be concerned about at all.

The problem is we have no plan B if we get smashed through the middle and Reynolds is left to try and salvage the set, every set.

I’m not discounting his ability to do it, but we’ve all seen he’s been very up and down at times because he’s having to try and do everything and it’s just not working well for him or the team.

If your middle is rolling, a running five-eighth can be a nightmare, but when it’s not, you need a second genuine half otherwise that runner is ineffective. We weren’t going to dominate the top 4 packs (other selections aside) and Kev should’ve realised that and picked a more rounded half rather than a flashy rookie that doesn’t kick

You want him to job share with a rookie ?
How do you reckon he would feel about that ?

Are you forgetting the 5th tackle kicks Gamble put straight into the arms of the opposition on the full ? He has done it more than once .

Reyno wouldn't have a problem with it, if you've paid attention to him during his career you would know he encourages it.

Gamble's kicking isn't great, but it's not about that. It's about taking pressure off Reyno to come up with all of the 5th tackle options. With Reyno doing that, the defence can just rush him before he even gets the ball.

It’s a workplace. Verbal abuse is not tolerated in any workplace and it’s a 1970-80’s view that it’s “ok” in a sporting team.

Yeah they sucked but yelling at them doesn’t “fix the problem”.

Id get fired if I did that to my teams.

Are safe spaces for these weak pricks allowed under the salary cap? Hopefully you didn’t just get triggered by that statement…

Breaking news, buddy. These guys get yelled at in their workplace for a living, on top of which, they literally sign up to have big, angry, scary, hairy / sweaty “men“ actually physically assault them and run straight over the top of them...

But diddums can’t handle Kevvie telling them suck and need to lift their game?

Oh, dear. Perhaps their nannies can cuddle them and make the bad man go away?

Isn’t it interesting we only hear of a couple of our pea-hearted flogs complaining about training too hard or being yelled at? But not those coached by the infamous sprayer, Bellamy?

I wonder if that is the real difference between us as clubs? We are picking kind-hearted, entitled flogs and they pick players who understand they need to be told what is acceptable what isn’t and if they are not prepared to handle it, there’s the door. We’ll find someone who is?

Nope not a Rabbitohs fan .

Ezra can obviously kick . He kicked with his wrong foot to set up a Corey Oates try in one of the 1st cpl of matches he played .

Then he kicked out on the full a cpl of times and decided to put his boot back in it`s holster .

If ,,, we are to believe what Tyson Gamble said and Reynolds is the attack coach , then why isn`t he practicing at training with Ezra to take more 5th tackle kicks ?
And in the game , run the set so Ezra is in position to be an option ?

Not rocket surgery surely ?

you can but constantly calling Kevvie's decisions shit isn't to constructive, it just looks like an agenda.

Agendas are the worst. They're like having thought about something before flapping your jaw.
 
Looks likely Gamble gets picked and continues his 100% win record for a Broncos victory. Broncs by 30.
