First and foremost, im not talking about winning, or making finals. Im talking about playing like an actual team. Not a first grade team, no, apparently thats too much to expect. No, just a regular team that trains and improves little by little, through training.

So i ask, wtf do we do?

Timing? All F'd up. Cant be timing.

Strength? Everyone is a noodle except a few forwards.

Attacking structure? ahahahahaha

Defensive structure? Sprinting out of the line at the 1 dude with the ball does not count...

Defensive reads? Cant be that.

Running? They cant even do that.

Catching the ball? Nope.

Fitness/endurance? Out of the game after 5 mins. Cant be that

Reading weaknesses in the opposition defense? Definitely not, as evidenced last week.

Hitting up the local high school? uhhhh...no comment.

Last tongue in cheek aside....surely im not the only one thinking this. Doesnt matter how shit the roster is, we dont have any evidence of the above (except the last one).

Again, I must emphasise this isnt about winning or making finals. Im talking about just simple improvement and a team playing like a team. You dont need a good roster for that.

The team looks like they have no idea what to do when they have the ball in hand. Players don't even know where to run or who is going to receive the ball..... Its unacceptable for an NRL first grade team. Even Qcup team are much more slick....

I'm afraid the team was just awful.
Painful to watch them.

First of all they have to learn how to hold on to the ball then learn how to catch it then every thing else will come later you hope

I witnessed this first hand, there was a lot and I mean a lot of passing to Tolman!!! And when you watch our game you see it come to fruition! Well done doggies.

Well when pay was my coach, we just ran laps on Wednesdays. On fridays we worked on our attack and defense structures, on our own cause he was clueless when it came to attack.
Looks like the boys are doing even less.

It's almost as if we have a front rower from the 90s coaching us

Well they managed to run out onto the ground without anyone falling over. Maybe they practice doing that.

We practise one-out football Monday to Friday. Anyone caught offloading the ball at training needs to do 200 push ups
