Message: [QUOTE="Renegade, post: 2882672, member: 1928"] my take: 1. First and foremost we had absolutely no direction from the halves tonight, 2mins in we got a set of 6 inside their 30, what did we do? couple of one out hit ups through the middle and a nothing finish to the set. repeat for the rest of the night. how many times did we get caught fucking about on the last because the ball didn't get to where it was supposed to? pathetic. 2. boyd shouldn't have played, there's brave and there's selfish, he was the latter. you'd think the captain of the team would put the team first, you know, like a proper captain. thanks for the 53mins of nothing boyd, thumbs up. 3. moga is a dumb dumb footballer. he passes to oates we score, 4-2 at minimum, if not 6-2, and the game changes. instead he tries to be a hero and barge over with 3 players covering him from all angles instead of opting to pass to the unmarked oates. for every good thing he does he does 5 shit things - will not be missed, enjoy newcastle! 4. mcguire has a bit of paul gallen about him in the sense he tries to get too involved, too often. you're a glorified prop who can offload every now and then - you don't need to handle it every set, sometimes 2 times a set. don't overplay your hand. 5. agree with someone else who said this was milf's moment to step up and take charge but he was woeful in just about every aspect of the game - at least nikorima made a line break lol. he needs to spend the off season watching tapes of michael morgan because that's a half who translated a running game into something more. take advice and training from locky, johns, someone, anyone, because while the jink and step and move works every now and then, against teams like melbourne they will just suffocate you. 6. i'm not sure if he's instructed to stay out there or if he's not coming in looking for work, but why isn't the fastest guy in league sniffing around the ruck for the half breaks and offload opportunities? fair enough he's not getting enough ball where he is and that's a problem, but he needs to come in and try and inject himself in the game instead of waiting around. 7. glenn and gillette busted their arse tonight, full credit to them. 8. what a horrible way to end the season - i said in the pre match thread i'd rather lose convincingly than a close one at the death. be careful what you wish for. scoring a point would've been fucking nice at least. 9. we had our chances to win the game or at least stay in it and we fucked every single one with a combination of poor kicking, poor game management, and a completely unimaginative gameplan - i thought the idea was to throw it around? where was the fucking support runners if that was the case? or are we too ingrained in our normal style of player that our players simply do not react/think it's going to happen, so we just wait for the tackle to finish and set for the next ruck? 10. finally, thanks and good luck to hunt. we've all had a pop at him at one time or another but you could never doubt the guys effort. i'm sure there's more but i can't think/too tired/doesn't matter in the long run.
