Totally agreeAt least Gus will be ruthless. Wouldn't surprise me i half the support staff are gone pretty much as soon as they get back to Sydney

Wayne lolI'd hate to see us waste another year in going backwards . I hope Gould has a contingency plan if Baz fails to fire in the first couple of rounds. Maybe have Baz sacked and bring in someone who won't be appointed by the media but through his own merits..
Anyone who can set standards around the place and not let clowns like Elliot run amok..Wayne lol
Furner and Ferris sounds like a 70s sitcom duo.Furner and Ferris gotta go. Our defence and fitness was noticeably shit this year, as well as our discipline.
U reckon fitness is an issue? I tend to think we are close to the fittest side now after the amount of work the boys go through every week.I can't see how Furner survives, we've had some of our worst losses this year. Fitness is also a big issue.
This isn't actually correct.For those who aren’t aware we now have a piece of unwanted history. Our team this year is the first to lose ten games in a row in a season.
would be some interestingvreading the stats of how many sets the boys had to defend for. compared to other teamsU reckon fitness is an issue? I tend to think we are close to the fittest side now after the amount of work the boys go through every week.
The amount of 8-10-15-27 tackle sets the boys defend is ridiculous compared to other teams..
There's aspects where I think our fitness isn't up to it but parts could also be effort. Like we seem to go nowhere during our sets, we're very slow. Kick chase is terrible but that could also be put down to the kick itself. Line speed isn't great too. I'm not convinced by Ferris or Furner and think we might need to go in a different direction.U reckon fitness is an issue?

Great points though can all be traced back to excessive defence.. Can also be tracked back to the fact we dont have the strength and speed of other teams this year... It can also be tracked back to the fact every time we get quick play the balls the ref allows the other team to slow the ruck down, Manly holding the ball CONTINUOUSLY in rucks we won did so much damage to our attack its not funny.There's aspects where I think our fitness isn't up to it but parts could also be effort.

No way will I still be a Dog OR RL fan still if next year is the same. Now that I think of it both Tbaz and I have 8 to 10 weeks left next year. I'm just done, the rules have changed the game, we're shite and I watch only minutes of a few games now before turning over and not even missing it. Admittedly this has been a long time coming, falling out of love with something even if it is a sport but I've been around it all my life.No matter what Gould says Barrett has 8-10 games in 2022 to show what he's got. No way we go into 2023 with him if the season is similar to this one. Gould will want to protect his own reputation above anything else.
Or even the cavalry?Great points though can all be traced back to excessive defence.. Can also be tracked back to the fact we dont have the strength and speed of other teams this year...

In regards to the coaches, it is really hard to tell... I think like everything we need to wait and see what happens next year with the calvary arriving.
NoiceeeeOr even the cavalry?
Maybe Calvary is right…we’ve been crucified in practically every game this year!!
