Message: [QUOTE="mstreet, post: 3441744, member: 11634"] I can understand the disappointment given our winning streak and the way in which we have lost the last month. The reality is, there aren't many, if any great coaches available. Kev has bought better balance and depth to the roster. Wishing for a better coach won't make it true. Assistants do a lot of the technical work. Wayne Bennett was a father figure more than anything. We are losing the ruck. Todays game is built on momentum. If you can't turn teams around, kick for corners, and defend well, you aren"t earning the right to score points. It's all about controlling the tempo. This is something we have done badly for years. It's a spine and quick play of the ball thing. Effort on effort. I'm wrapped the administration got rid of TPJ, lodge, Ofahengaue and Fifita. Such an imbalanced roster. We would roll down to the 20 with no Milford penetration. Our spine was been weak since 2015. Not much is going to change if we don't strengthen those positions, which is difficult since the scarcity of top tier 1, 6, 7, and 9's. I think Kev's job is safe considering alternatives and our administrations knowledge that our roster weaknesses can't be bought or magicked away. We got ourselves into a big hole with Cullen and White. 2022 is a big improvement despite the last month. I just want to see in the trials, strong defence, kicking for corners, and a hookers that knows when to run, throw flat, or deep. Controversial, but I think Sebiold would have been a great assistant coach. That's the ceiling for him though. [/QUOTE]
