Nailed it

Shit dummy half. Shit ball playing lock
Don't upset the JMKucks
"He's a good hooker, just needs better players around him"
"Had some great runs from DH against the Broncs" etc. Cucks

We need to drop bbo back to Reggie's and run him for 80mins bring him back in 4 weeks time and sub him with someone to get JMK out the way

I reckon it’s gutless commentary by Johns. Our problem is not because we have a poor 9 and no ball playing lock.

The media are always scared to call out a dud, especially a former player. Barrett is “THE” problem, they all know it and it needs to be called out.

So the solution at the moment:
HOOKER: Promote Josh Cook and give him a shot, with BBO on the bench. Drop JMK to NSW Cup.
LOCK: Move King, Stimson, Waddell, Topine, or TPJ into #13 (someone with an offload). Move Jackson into second row or off the bench.

That will then liven up the halves, and middle, and give our edges a chance to move.

Plays start with dummy half. if the service is slow or not precise, everything after it in that play struggles.
Totally agree with this

It's crazy to think that Baz can't see the obvious issues that his contemporaries and all the fans can see. I honestly believe he's over coaching the players.

I remember Gus mentioning something about Andrew Walker who he said was one of the most talented players he had ever coached.

They didn't bother including him in set plays, because he'd often forget to turn up to where he was supposed to be . He instructed Freddy or Lam to just float the ball in front of him, dont crowd him and force him to make a decision, just let him run onto the football and let him play what's in front of him. It resulted in countless trys for the Roosters.

Baz needs to find a balance to get the best out of his players. Rugby League is a simple game, it's not the fucking NFL...

He didn’t say anything insightful. Jmks running game is his strength. It’s his vision and passing game which is lacking.

Funny when ever you criticise Jackson people call you a flop and say how he bleeds blue and white. Well he can bleed all he likes but he won’t win you many games like other 13s.

Jackson is a club legend. A true warrior. But like boyd the game has probably passed them by. They both played the game 1000% and it’s probably taken a toll on their body and their game.

Only so much you can be loyal before you need to lessen his role.

Fam, we can make whatever team changes we like to the lineup. I hate to break it to you, but we will be shit until we have new coaching staff and clean out all the useless ***** taking a pay check

I’ve talked to two long term riff coach and staff member. They reckon the thing we lack apart from a dominating hooker. Is a hard edge prop. It’s interesting they believe petro was there best purchase taught a heap the club about fitness, looking after you-self and bringing the team together with all grades. To much to write but was interesting and can see what they where saying. And the toughness he added was very underrated. They believe we need a tough old head who will demand excellence on and off the field

We need to find a genuine kicking no 7 before June 30..Burton should forget his kicking game go back to running the ball, start giving some of the reserve graders a go..we need back rowers that can run holes..keep Schoup & Kiraz as centre pairing..Flanno besides goal kicking gives us nothing..
We need to bring Sezer back home for a year or 2.

Right on!
He called out the player (tactic problems) but not his mate.
Who is the real problem.

Everything he says is right esp about Dufty pretty much everything he is saying is right to be honest the thing is if Baz can’t pick up on it and come up with a system that supports our team then what’s he there for
