I looked at Penrith last night and there are similarities between how Yeo plays that role and how Baz has been trying to get Jacko to do it.
It should be like horse racing if they get injured bring out the curtain and get rid of them both.
Yay, more panther cookie cutter shit.
I said the same thing. What does Concern me though is that we don’t have a fucking 7. I’ll be fucked if Averillo or Flanagan is that guy. Penrith system completely rubs out the 6. Which is gonna be our biggest asset. Either Burton plays 7 and controls everything or find a system to utilise him.
I'm not sure if he can't pass, sometimes he does it, my problem is he doesn't pass it enough, maybe doesn't have the vision or is being to safe, and tucking under for a hit up.
No inside info but I'll be shocked if he plays.
If only we had 2 BBOs; one at halfback and one at hooker.
I think the issue is also the halves linking up why on earth don’t they link up
It’s like Baz has tried to get us playing like Penrith, playing up tempo, using lock as a link to get the halves wider of the ruck. Our roster is incapable of that. It worries me a bit that Baz can’t adapt.
He can’t pass at a level anywhere near what that role demands is what I was referring to . Yeo puts the ball out in front of the outside men and even digs into the line.
Very, very good point. He tried to coach a system that we don’t have the players to implement.
It was an issue I noticed during the first trial and has only gotten worse as the season has gone on. How Trent thought he could get a reject halfback in Flanagan and a ball runner in Jake to play the Cleary role within a season was absolutely ridiculous and just shows what he has failed in his previous head coaching roles (Manly, Penrith 20's). He might be great working with individual players but in terms of making the big boy decisions he just doesn't have it. We should never have tried to implement this style off footy, how you can spend months training with these guys and think they could is a massive concern.
Are we going to have the players for it next year? Honestly I hate this system, it looked the way forward last year but under the rule changes it just isn't necessary imo. You don't need to try and finesse your way through the opposition.
Getting out alive!
Losing by 59 instead of 60.
Ala Corey Thompson. Okunbor is useless.
