Sack Griffin/New Coach Discussion

[Broncs1459]

Sign Cameron Smith and make him captain and coach.

The difference tonight was most certainly coaching but I think Griffin will get one more go at it next season with an improved roster, I definitely have my concerns about him though.

To be fair, if we had of gone with the team we've been playing for the last 5-6 weeks for the entire season I think we'd probably be sitting somewhere inside the eight, we'd still be shit but at least we'd be above Canberra.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Make Michael Hancock coach of how the **** to play the ball ASAP and how to make the opposition work to tackle you.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We've had a shit year. We've had injuries and we clearly don't have the cattle. We've been spoilt with how often we made finals in the past. When we start missing the 8 regularly, that's when you sack the coach.

 

[CaptainHook]

I shake my head at the team selections. Why not persevere with guys like Granville, Slyney Maranta who have shown a bit of potential rather than drop them at the first sign of trouble.

 

[Dexter]

I'm pretty sure we can all express our disappointment without the total disrespect being shown atm.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Wouldn't say Maranta but it really disappoints me that Granville hasn't seen any more action after two games this season, first he was outstanding giving us great impact from the bench something Griffin should realise he needs if he wants a bench replacement for McCullough, second wasn't so great but didn't deserve to be given up on.

 

[CaptainHook]

second wasn't so great but didn't deserve to be given up on.

Absolutely, GCBONCO. That Canterbury game was the worst performance by a broncos side in the history of the universe. Seriously, worst game ever. Granville was the scapegoat. Granville was great in his debut and I was partly expecting him to be a bit flat the next week after the high of such an impressive performance. Griffin should've stuck with him.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Exactly and that's what annoys the fan's the most, the club doesn't really even want Wallace anymore so whats the real harm in giving someone like Granville a go? Remember that interview on the web for members not that long ago, it was brought up when he would get another shot and Griffin made out he had played well and playing well enough in the lower grades to get another shot, I'd say the time is now for Griffin to make it so.

 

[Alec]

I thought that was just Griffin using a random answer generator without thinking about it?

Funnily enough, it makes for a better coach than he is.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Griffin's reasoning to recruiting Kearney

 

[MrMoore]

when your coaches get compared to family guy scripts, you know shit is bad

 

[Alec]

One thing I forgot to mention that I can't stand about his coaching is his obsession with size. His entire plan is based around trying to out"muscle" the opposition. These days all the best teams prioritise skills and pace over size. It's more important being able to throw a pass, pop an offload and use footwork to beat the defender even with the forwards. It's also why a good linespeed in defence is important too, to try to stop these things from happening (in addition to obviously not concede so much ground).

Griffin is really about 10-12 years behind the current coaching standard.

 

[vertigo]

Someone tell me more about this 'Griffin coached teams play their best football at the back end of the year' bullshit.

 

[rnabokov]

Someone tell me more about this 'Griffin coached teams play their best football at the back end of the year' bull****.

Well, in a way it's true. That was about the best a Griffin coached team can play.

Re: 2014 Ladies and Gentlemen

I have a terrible feeling our spineless administration, the same mob who didn't sack Griffin and Kearney 6 rounds ago, are going to royally **** up with Barba and Milford. Barba will probably be at the Titans.

I have never been more deflated about a new seasons prospects before. Our club is being run into the ground hard.

Re: 2014 Ladies and Gentlemen

There's still a chance Griffin could be sacked. Last time we missed the 8, Henjak was sacked. I still think it's embarrassing that a club with our power and money is settling for probably the worst coach combo in the comp. Just looking at how much the Roosters have improved with a new coach, especially with their defence makes it pretty clear how ordinary Griffin is.

Re: 2014 Ladies and Gentlemen

I'm honestly not too displeased with griffin. Last year our defence was great. This year he went to attack with Kearney in defence. Even with a horrible injury toll our attack has started to click and griffin is making the right decisions. Our defence is literally the worst in the comp. Two sets in that game we had any line speed at all. The rest nothing. Yet we were the stuffed ones? I did notice all of their players were all muscle ours not so much. Very much is a conditioning issue. Our defence in and around the ruck is horrible.
