Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2441082, member: 1847"] It's that very fact that is such a piss off. He can play a blinder (well, by Wallace standards) one week then goes MIA for a few weeks. Doesn't anyone in the coaching team talk to him about this? Same applies to Norman in a way. He has done some excellent things this season which shows he has the ability. And as for support play ... so what gives here? If a player consistently fails to listen and respond to constructive coaching, he deserves to be dropped. If Wallace and Norman are not being spoken to week in and week out about their failure to set up plays, and ditto the rest of the team about support play, then the coaching staff need to be talked to. From an article the other day in the Sydney Morning Herald about Hasler's method, which I admire, and which I think explains both Manly last year, and the Dogs this year. As someone posted earier, the Dog's halves individually are nothing special, as are a number of their players, individually, but as a team, well... "The 51-year-old former school teacher is renowned for his attention to detail, and he uses the training footage [B]to help his players understand exactly what he wants them to do in certain situations during a match and perfect set plays.[/B] On the training field, Hasler likes to divide the ground into grids [B]so the players know where they should be at all times[/B], particularly in defence."
