Message: [QUOTE="Fighting Irish, post: 2563309, member: 8497"] IMO Griffen has no idea about a game plan or how to prepare a team for round 1 I always thought trial were to do 2 things - figure out who are you best players for PARTICULAR positions and play them in those positions and combinations - never ever should we play a player out of his own specialist position for the sake of covering up a weaker player in his preferred position. It was not Hook who last year with about 7 games to go decided that Norman should not be picked again and to get rid of Wallace from half back and all those other positional changes - putting players back to their correct positions - it came as a DIRECT directive from the powers above Hook and he was apparently told in no uncertain manner that if he did not do it the door was over there. I can tell you Hook is on a very very short lead and has been since about July last year and has 5 games to sort the team out and win - otherwise he is gone. But it seems that old habits die hard and he is a very stubborn bugger and will not pick players in the trial that will be playing with each other in combinations in round 1 because he thinks all will be good on the day and then in the press conference after the game will starch his head and will say " gee we can only get better" Lets see if he has learnt how to manage his interchange which by any measure was an absolute disgrace last year - lets see if he has improved his decision making ideas when it comes to picking players in the correct positions or are we going to get a new coach after round 5 when we are not performing [/QUOTE]
