Message: [QUOTE="Skathen, post: 3645682, member: 8789"] Being down on talent simply means there's less capability for the big plays, less individual brilliance, defense not being as good. It doesn't make players throw forward passes. Give away 7 penalties in the first half. Silly turn-over errors. It doesn't stop regular top 17 players from being nowhere to be found when a player makes a half break - not putting in the 1%ers. It is however another example of an outfit thats: - Not at an elite level of fitness. [Coaching issue] - Not drilling their players enough to minimise errors. [Coaching issue] - Our attack has looked out to sea all year when ARey isn't playing. We score generally through individual brilliance rather than good structured play. [Coaching issue] - Even when we can field our top 17 - sans ARey, we still aren't making and average of 45+m a set and ARey isn't going to fix that stat. [Coaching issue] - Another in an increasingly long line of games now where we've conceded 3 tries inside of 10 minutes. It's becoming our thing now. [Mentally weak] Any decent coach should be able to at least improve these issues - but we're looking just as shit today as we looked in round 1. We had a tilt last year and it's like everyone took the foot off the gas, coming into this year expecting it all to just happen. Not realising, we fell short because we weren't good enough and we needed to go harder. Discipline has been shit. Fitness is well behind other clubs. We can't wrestle/slow down the ruck like other clubs - there's a technique issue or something, we're getting caught out and it's destroying our possession to the point where not conceeding penalties/six agains and hanging onto the fucking ball should be the only thing trained outside of fitness for about a fucking month. You can't win anything spending the whole damn game in your own half. These are issues ANY player in the top 30 should be able to improve on and contribute to. [/QUOTE]
