Yeah i get we have massive injuries, however for me I am personally sick about hearing how we are always "trying hard" and "putting in effort." Then being told it will be good for the players and team in the long run.. yada yada yada. Been hearing this for the last 3 coaches. All that ends up happening is that they get so used to losing that it becomes a habit and we end up having to clean house to try and cleanse the playing group of the loser mentality.
Ciraldo has to take some ownership here for his team selections and rotations.
Unfortunately we wasted 3+ years where we should’ve been rebuilding and recruiting the right players but weren’t
As hard as it is to accept this is the first real year of the rebuild. If you take that at face value we are making ok improvements in the first 2 months.
What else is CC supposed to do right now?
People saying he should’ve moved Burton to centre mid game? LOL? Why the fuck would he move our primary half that we’ve just re-signed on a massive deal out of position 2 months into a brand new season. Granted he’s playing like shit but he needs to spend the entire year there minimum and then we can reassess.
Burton is sucking but there is literally nothing we can do atm but keep trying to improve his game while players slowly come back from injury…
Our defence has and is improving but the constant changes week to week and minute to minute each game particularly to our edges has been difficult to deal with, not to mention playing two probably top 4 teams in a fortnight (we managed to overcome this against the cowboys at least).
