Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2764021, member: 9008"] Agree we are past panic stations. Time to focus on longer term cultural and structural problems that are eating at club. Biggest issue seems to be attitude. Suggests significant disharmony in playing group. On top of that why would a player be happy at the Broncos with our style of football. Got a great offload, don't bother. Electric speed, pass it to slowest centre in the game instead. Like to bash other teams in defence, how about you instead stand back and let them run into you at full pace. Great ball runner why not have a shot at organising things and see how it goes. Wayne has been a magnificent man manager but tactics leave a lot to be desired. And individually on paper we look good but as a team we are hardly cohesive. And as much as players seem to play for him in the past creating a halo effect for a premiership he has consistently left clubs worse off or underperform of late. We just didn't get our premiership. Where do we go from here? Aside from turning back the clock and not giving away our likely future best 2 halfbacks and hookers maybe we try: 1 - fire or at least demote some big egos who are disrupting cohesion. You have dozens of Broncos legend who should be installing culture. 2 - move Bennet to a manager style coach. For attack get the walker brothers and defence someone who can put the starch back in (not Kearney). 3 - create some club cohesion. A month of pre season military boot camp stuck together sleeping in the mud maybe. I'm sure we can afford a few top sports psychologists too to repair some fragile players. 4 - create a team that can work. Milford is not a half and never was. Maybe in 5 years but the only way Milford works as five-eight is a cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith combo who can do most the organisation and kicking so he can be left to be a running five eight and a defensive speed bump. Hunt is a true five-eighth. Buy some big boopers and go forward. 5 - Create a game plan to match the team. The bonus of a small pack should be mobility and fitness. Get them fit and have them move up in defence fast in the opposition 50 rather than letting them walk over your or 70m a set. Get the forwards offloading after running hard with Milford or Roberts hunting for the space. 6. if you have a player on the bench use him rather than forcing other players to conserve energy. Impact players only need 15-20 minutes either side of halftime to conserve interchanges. 7. stop this p policy of playing numpty's like Maranta or Reed and create space so talented youngsters see opportunities here. 8. Accept we need to wrestle well. It isn't a great moral victory to be schooled every week. If you hate the wrestle use against the enemy. If great wrestling team argues to stop wrestling better chance of people listening. 9. Fire Macca, hard to win go forward with slow non threatening service and markers that have time for smoko if he runs. Is Parcell free next year? 10. Buy or develop what we need. An organising and kicking half, a big angry prop, a hooker who knows how to pass the f***** ball. With an organising half Milf can go to fullback, Boyd to centre (I know Australian fullback but he is not a fit Slater or Inglis at the back -and he can teach Milford to be a ball playing fullback and possibly best ever while filling our gaping centre and leadership hole Hodges left. Beside I am sick of watching Boyd giving up on chases in the in goal. This year all I can suggest is a major Rocket for next week. Dump Blair and Wallace. Bench Parker and Sammy. Send Maranta to the opposition as a token of esteem. If we had a KNik I'd even drop Milford to the bench to use as impact. Get our GOAT halves on staff to actually teach our halves from dusk to dawn if need be. Get the team "bonded" - bring in a club legend for every player 1-1 to with a hard message to cut the crap, then lock them all in a hall for 2 days with a dozen kegs and the best 2015 games on a loop. Followed by a two week camp with no phone, Tv or hair product. Hell i'm even desperate enough to try to hypnotise the lot of them myself if required. [/QUOTE]
