Nasheed here,
Alot of forum members have called for myself to step into a coaching or management position. There is little doubt i know my stuff.
So i thought i could speak directly to the fans here, just us,. and have a bit of a truth and honesty session mixed with a Q and A. Just us around a campfire really.
A few things i would do if i was the coach.
Recruitment:
This is very important. Nothings happening without the right player and atm we have it wrong.
The first thing i will do is do something that should have been sorted last week. The Cotric contract.
Right now we are playing the tighter than teenage thai pussy game and trying to not pay overs for premium talent and offer non monetary desires like playing centre.
i can easily sort this out.
I will upgrade his contract offer from 1.8 mil over 3 years (600k,600k,600k) to a 1.9 mil offer of (700k,600k,600k). It is unlikely we will be filling caps next year and hit all our recruitment goals so we can afford overs for a season. Think of it as a sign on bonus. Young dumb men like Nick are short sighted and would jump at that offer. Fixed! took me 1 minute.
I will then scour the earth for a hooker. I'll watch the Harry grant thang play out but i would also be keeping a really close eye on Daryl Clark from england. The brst in the biz over there and as quick as Cook. With the salaries being slashed over there there may be an opportunity to get he ass tempted for 700k a year.
Speaking of England, Imma be all up the ol' dart. This is where you find talent, not random islands in fiji, and atm theres no footy, half of them are dying of Corona, and with the salary situation at knifepoint we should be up in there.
id give a big contract to walmsley to be the enforcer. The only one that rivals Thommo. We now have outr pack sorted. I'll then resign key playas like holland and Elliott and way we go.
Gameplay:
Id essentially replace hard working potato pellett players with aggressive hard running line benders and get rid of little snots like Wakeman.
RFM HAS to move into the prop position and 'run hard and fast'. Pay wasnt wrong in that thought, he just didnt have him in the middle where he is effective
We are still missing a gun FB but thats the price I had to pay to realise my recruitment mission.
my 2021 team thereby:
1 Meaney
2 Smith
3 Hoppa
4 Cotric
5 DWZ
6 Averillo
7 Foran/green
8 Walmsley
9 Clark
10 Thompson
11 Jackson
12 CHN
13 Elliott
14 Holland
15 RFM
16 Ogden
17 Napa
Strategy:
Now i have my team in place the strategy is bash up the middle with support yo. Holes punched and flying little men in the middle to capitalise. There will be Straight out aggression from the poms and Ennis style niggle. itll all be about FTW and Bankwest or Belmore will be indoctrinated by siege mentality, fans and players alike.
AMA- Ask me anything? Nasheed.
