PRE-GAME Round 9 - Broncos vs Bulldogs

[Renegade]

In a way, it's actually genius on Seibold's part. Imagine losing to the Bulldogs and being able to walk into the boardroom on Monday and say to Paul White "See, look what happens when we do what the players want".

and if they play well it's a masterstroke on his behalf, empowering the players, real harvard stuff.

Good so now we dont have a coach that should be coaching. We have players coaching themselves.

If it doesnt work the media will have fun with this if it works you wont hear anything, the medias really fking pissing me, you dont hear anything about cowboys all over your news feed after last nights loss.

I would like to see Dearden at 7 Croft 6 . Milf at 9 in attack and fullback in defense and if we are keeping Boyd he drops back to fullback in attack for his one trick the 3 on 2 put the winger away. ... but that would be too complicated for them at the moment

I'd simply remove Milford altogether but I like Dearden and Croft in those roles. My bench would be Isaako, Milford with two forwards. The reliable Boyd stays and I suspect he'd get better quality service and opportunity.

 

[Huge]

Boy, I hope that's true. I did suggest the same thing a while ago with Luke running the forwards and possibly Croft/Dearden organising from behind.

If it's successful it won't be a good look for Seibold and it surprises me that he's allegedly okay with it. Mind you, it is the unreliable media so it's probably all crap.

Was always long odds on playing. I don't expect to see him next week either.

Are you serious, expecting Dearden, a 19 year old with what, 2 NRL games, organizing our dog's breakfast? Really? Talk about setting up someone to fail.

Luke on the other hand, absolutely. It is what he is there for and has to step up instead of just running without looking.

But it is more than Luke, Dearden, or any one player organising the team, it is about the entire spine working together, as an integrated unit, connecting with backs and forwards, and linking both, which we don't have and this is largely what separates us from the top sides who have experienced spines doing their job. We are a work in progress. It's a "Huge" job. It will take time.

As far as the players "taking control" over how they play, as I look at it, it is Seibold listening to his players which for mine is a good thing. Every good coach listens to their players. Having said that, the fact is that Seibold is the coach, and thus, whatever happens, he is responsible for the outcomes, and our performances will be ultimately on him.

As for the ever reliable Darius, I hope that he, as a well credentialed and experienced FB is actively helping our young spine integrate together, as well as our backs and forwards, in addition to his sterling defensive efforts at centre. By the look of things he hasn't done much so far but while there's life there's ... Darius.

Yes. Don't want him ending up like Tommy Turbo.

Largely agree with this but I wasn't thinking Dearden could be THE MAN in the team rather that he and Croft could work it out in the offensive line. Having said that about Dearden I truly don't think he'd be worse than what we've seen but I did think the vocal Croft could take control whilst working with Dearden.

I imagined the two planning how they'd like play to be structured during the week, working closely during training etc.

There’s a reason for this. They have half the talent and didn’t recently sack a successful coach for a rookie.
