lack of basic rugby league fundamentals

[fletch]

this is why Smith needs to be sacked, we simply can't complete the basic rugby league fundamentals.

- unable to draw and pass for tries
- can't position ourselves for clearing kicks
- can't execute sweeping backline plays
- our fullback can't put his body in front of the ball on simply kick returns

then we need to get into team selection

Smith has to stop changing teams after wins, there is no way you can build combinations when the same players are not playing together all the time, do you see the Storm/Bulldogs/Eagles changing teams depending on who the opposition are.

finally how about we play players in their right positions:

Moga is a centre
Henry is a winger
RTS is a fullback

Yeah, it's been 3 seasons with lack of fundamentals.....but that's how Brian rolls.

That last play summed up Bwian's loose coaching to a tee.

[fletch]

only team in the comp with a completion rate below 70%

what was the point of having Mortimer there tonight, oh wait more Smith fundamentals, thought he would fire up against his old club

[Chook Norris]

my brother, a strong broncos supporter rarely watches our games. but when he did watch 5 minutes of our game against the dragons he had noted immediately within seconds how awkward and disjointed the timing of our passes was.

there is a ridiculous shortage of basic fundamentals in this team

and BRIAN SMITH is definitely to blame for that

Yes, the basics are missing, the coaching seemingly absent, the lack of improvement obvious - I just don't get it. This team makes the sort of mistakes that I don't see other teams making: mini the farkwit with his many many mistakes, anasta missing sandow, moga getting caught in goal due to sheer laziness and so on. Such a pathetic side.

Sorry, but frankly that was rubbish. If it wasn't the worst game of football I have ever seen, I have forgotten the one that was worse. Why do you guys accept that?

Us v NQ at darwin was worse for sure.

Too much common sense there fletch - this isn't going to happen while that nuff nuff from planet crackpot is in charge.

Braith himself I have no doubt had his mind on the first tee tomorrow tonight.

Dunno, but a group of supporters sent our board a message after round 10 last season. We were in a handcart to hell with the way things were being run. They worked out we were deadly serious when we came through on our threat. Moore was sacked, we bought that stupid **** 2 teams and he did nothing, then they got serious about cutting the apathy out of the club. No more short term fixes.

With the Roosters, I see a very proud club going through the motions. Someone is asleep at the wheel.

Flame away.

Yep Noyce & Politis. They have actually been conned that the delusional moron coaching us has a 'grand' plan. F*ck he must laugh every week he gets paid. 'Grand plan he thinks - I don't know whats happening tomorrow let alone in the long term' he thinks I am sure. But then he says these dumb dogs just keep paying me - go figure???

[Guest]

weve got nothing,no structure cant do the simple things smith should have stuck with james cook high,thats about his level

[Guest]

yes it's Smithy's fault that our team cannot execute simple plays that ten year olds can.


I remember when Opes took over and he moaned that he was encountering athletes, not footballers.
