Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3441754, member: 8255"] #1 priority is fix the mental weaknesses in this team. Get a sports psychologist or 3 onboard and work on the group as a whole as well as each bloke in person. I have no idea whether this is already happening, but it's got to be the #1 priority - they have got to stop dropping their bundle when things go wrong. Attitude is the key - when they were winning and it was fun, they were playing so differently. #2 is defence in general. #2a is linespeed, which comes from fitness. We need to be bashing the opposition every damn set next year and we fans should not accept anything less. 2b is wrapping up offloads, we must be worst in the league at that? 2c is the wrestle and not getting stuck on the fucking ground. We need a hell of a lot more from our defensive coaching. #3 attack. There was some movement on this earlier in the year yet it seems to have completely evaporated since and again we look completely clueless in attack. Remember way back when Reyno had it on a string? Either through the hands / cutout pass / kick for Cobbo in the corner / chip over the top for Kotoni, Riki or himself? Where did that go? Where did the Oates attack go - not only bombing to the corner but the steaming in off the back fence towards the posts? I have this at #3 as we have a significant amount of strike power and IMO our defence needs 90% of the off-season field work. Some basic plays to start will do. What are Mam's strengths and how can we play to these? Work with the talents of the team we have. I dunno. I'm absolutely gutted that a few weeks ago we could have almost stitched up a 2nd chance in the finals - and were looking like we could maybe match it with almost anyone in the comp - and now we'll miss out.
