Hypothetical Suggestions to BA

I think every fan has things that they would like to suggest to improve our team.

What would you suggest to BA if you had the chance?

I'd suggest increased minutes for David Gower, and possible starting with Danny Wicks instead of Darcy Lussick. I think Lussick has poor discipline and costs us too many penalties due to inability to process the early speed of the game. I think he's more suited to come off the bench.

I would implore our forwards and backline to challenge the defensive line rather than just pass across it.

In round one against manly we knew when to go forward and when to shift. There has been a bit too much shifting before earning it.

I would tell our halves not to always go for the spectacular play.Try and build pressure and give your Forwards and backs the opportunity to wear your opposition down and the points will come. The best form of defence is attack.

I'm sure he says all this stuff but I think it's good for fans to have a platform to voice their views.

  • Offloads.
  • Will as you said the best defence is attack and it works for south so we should play them at there own game and see how they like it and I agree with you I think lussick should start form the bench with wicks starting  I even start with gower

  • Matterson to 5/8 move Norman to fullback then hoppa to the centres and drop Morgan
    • Apparently mattersons defence for wenty has been rubbish
  • Tell Watmough to stop pushing low percentage passes, hands off the ball when tackle is complete too many penalties & the wingers to have faith that there centres can make the tackle & stop coming in field all the time
    • Well what do you expect when Morgan is playing...

  • We have to start better tbh last two games we have had around 1 set to the other teams 5+ sets yes we have defended them
    Early but just takes way too much out of the tank, maybe start wicks ahead of lussick or even mannah as with out jnr we havnt really had any impact from the starting props, we need to push for more repeat sets aswell just grubber into the in goal apply some pressure we don't need to score every set we have to grind teams down we have the team to do it
  • Time for a reality check I believe. The team we have on the paddock is the best that is available. Simple as that.

    The young guys coming up are just not cutting it and are not ready for FG. Get used to it sadly.

  • Stop giving away penalties, stop dropping the ball and turn on at the start of the game not halfway through.

  • I think we are missing size, in round one we really took the ball up hard & our defence bent them backwards, but this corrupt administration this NRL has that ain't consistent at all, has cost us dearly.
