Message: [QUOTE="Mattycat, post: 2328901, member: 2085"] I agree with what Jeba has said earlier, that what Henjak says to the media and what he says to the team in private will be two different things. However, in saying that, I do believe he has missed the point in saying Gillett did alright in 5/8. If you want Norman to perform, then don't make him 5/8 only to sit him on the bench for 60 minutes. Your 5/8 should be on the field ALL the time. The TEAM (and yes we need to remember it is a team sport) had no spark or direction. We can't rely on Lockyer (and according to the CM this morning, he may not be back until the finals), so the TEAM needs to get together and decide how they are going to play. From my opinion, Henkjak tried an experiment, unfortunately, from the stands, it looks like it failed. His experiment was as follows: Gillett - starting 5/8 (He is a wide running second rower who can fill a centre spot. Leaving him in 5/8 stifled what he could do). Norman - 5/8 started on the bench (Wasn't used for 60 minutes. He didn't go to badly when he came on, but by that time we were behind and had no spark to get out in front). T'eo - started in the front row (Once again, a wide running second rower who can fill a centre spot. Leaving him in the front row stifled what he could do). The Hunt/McCullough tag team - I wish this experiment had an end. It has been said, and everyone knows, that the most important players on the field are the 1,6,7,9. Our 1 did well, our 6 was on the bench, our 7 looks claustrophobic at the moment and we are playing two 9's. If I coached my teams like this every week, I am sure the parents of the boys in my team would be asking me questions. [/QUOTE]
