I will rationalise this slightly by saying that Dylan's kicking game has not developed and is at an unsatisfactory level at present. His kicking game was actually better in his first season. Nothing in this season suggested to me that Joey had any positive effects on his game......for some reason that seems incomprehensible both our kickers this year seemed to lose the ability to kick low angled kicks, or low driven kicks.
Moses try assists off kicks completely changed and that is a mystery and equally mystifying was Brown's kicks. Our kickers never receive the protection that others do and again our chases are not always agressive enough.....this can only come back to coaching, strategy and tactics.
OH this ORF SEEZUN is getting worse.
Blame the wingers for NOT performing and scoring tries because they do not get the ball - now blame Dylan for NOT being a good kicker because the ball goes to Moses 11 times out of 10.
Dylan is NOT our kicking problem - MORONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dylan had THREE kicks this entire season for THREE tries. Whose kick broke Fergo's try drought?
Toughest ORF SEEZUN ever.
Lol you tell me col.
He didn't have 3 kicks for 3 tries.....he had 15 kicks, a toe stub, and an airswing, he hit the green once and didn't get one birdie put!
Now if you are going to comment on this game at least get him using the right clubs! Silly Old Bastard
Poppa I noticed something with kick protection this season. A lot of the other teams, on the 5th tackle, position a player just to the side of the ruck to impede the path of the markers to get to the kicker. Not sure if this is legal or not, but many teams did it. However, it's not something that I saw our team do a lot or at all. Could explain the lack of protection. And again, highlights those 1% plays that we are not doing as well as the other teams.
N Brown, Lane and RCG do it form time to time but not on regular basis.
Rules that grind my gears - it is by definition a shepherd and OFFSIDE, should be outlawed along with dummy runners and "protecting" the kick receiver.
Get back to playing a real game FFS.
The only reason Lane would have done was he was just loitering at that point......NBrown & RCG probably had just run a 100 metres each in the previous play.....stop arguing with the ref and start calling him Sir!
It is technically illegal as it is blocking a defender however rarely penalised.
I have never seen it penalised Super.
Pops, I'm not sure of the overall benefits of having Joey here this year. My primary reasoning for it was that he was not included in the eels bubble, and spent much of the time talking through the fence, basically not having the hands on did not help, but I also am not sure that only having him for a day at a time was also not of great help either.
Certainly in my mind this year while not being an overall success as the team fell short, having no real back up players/teams playing also did not that much either, hopefully going forward and that is what's needed on a primary scale is trainers in specific areas need to be at training more than a one day week situation rather than the single day that was only partilally available this year. Joey had to mix his time with his media work along with some work with our halves combo's which was of no great value at the end of the day.
I do believe though that there is a need for a specific coach especially for our halves and backs. With the season now finished, once SOO is finished I would like to see every player given a thorough medical especially with those players that have suffered injuries this season. With the need to have those injuries treated to ensure the players come back for next season injury free.
We have talked on assistent coaches for the team over the year, & remember one specific blog that had mention of Spud Carrol who owns a gym at St Marys IIRC, he is a fit person and had a fair defensive record as well & would not mind seeing him with the eels squad next year. I also remember & forget when it was that a former coach of the eels, some years back brought in person who was involved with sports injuries and was also involved in the area of training which helped in both fitness as well as injury prevention and treatment, which IIRC was a benefit to the teams as a result.
While the club/team has been on an up over the past 2 years there's still a way to go and that means the whole of the leadership including the board, coach and others that are involved with the training areas of the team, all need to be in constant review of not just one section of the club, (team & players) but in all areas. Would not hurt in the orf season for all to get together to review and plan the future, while that may take place already, they have to be honest with each other as to their own pluses and minuses and where all can improve on and off the field.
