Shoutout to Ben Ikin for calling out BA's bullshit.
Pregame interview he went on about his usual crap about front loading our effort and starting fast, and as Ikin said after the game last week he was talking about patiently building a game plan. As Ikin said, this is a mixed message and the players are confused and not on the same page.
Anyway, after we front loaded the effort and led 16-0 today, lets hope thats enough to get us home with a 4 point led at half time to show for it. The coach is completely incompetent, any one who can't see it is blindly optimistic and not looking.

Worst bit is that he's around for another 2 years
Yeah crazy stuff from BA to say we should start fast and front load our effort then be patient and build a game and not panic and make mistakes and win the game at the back end.
why would he say that? So confusing for the players.
Girth and Ben ikin would have a much less complicated plan I'm sure
Did you not notice the complete lack of an attacking game plan ? Our players running into each other in attack and going side to side with no direction ?
Have you not noticed Ferguson, Waqa , Sivo , Moses , Mahoney , Lane , Matterson are all having way worse seasons than last year and our players look gassed from having to win games expending all their energy ?
The only way we are doing damage against the big guns is to jump all over them effort wise and wear them down physically but we are the team who's worn down playing like that every week . We have one of the top 4 rosters in the competition with a bunch of experienced first seasonsed first graders and you're applauding the coach for an improved effort 3 weeks before the finals .
Mate I get optimism but there are absolute alarm bells ringing here and there have been for weeks. The big concern is we started the season well and have extended the coach and spent the majority of our cap re- signing the same guys . We obviously as a club felt that this was the team and coach that was headed in the right direction . We've deadset gone backwards and are almost a copy of the way the Dragons headed over the last few seasons . We shouldn't be a team that's happy we put in a better effort this week after completely not showing up the last few. The coach has no ideas .
Didn't say we'd get beat by the warriors.
I get from a few of the words you're using there and names you're throwing out you might not be the most switched on bloke but even then..you honestly think we're on the right track? That's all that's being said here. To me and many others alarm bells are ringing.. to you we're negative with vendettas...
Hows the Broncos going they have 5 or 6 rep players. I agree we are not and never have been a grandfinal team. But thought there would have been natural improvement. Got the 2 today, thats about it. Bar Souths flogging us up, that was the worst our attack has looked.
Same point I just made Poppa in a response to your latest comment to me. Fast becoming one of the biggest farkwits on this site. You lecture and preach more than my bloody wife! Trust me, that says ALOT.
Pops i think ya one of the dumb ones on here, who seems to think his posts are intelligent and witty. So uhm no think i will post what i think. But a dumb arse like you will read and respond.
Hey dickhead, so me and alot of others are morons. It's a clown like you who thinks were in 3rd spot may end up 5th but thats ok. To bad that were playing shit footy, natural improvement like halves getting better combos, more cohesion, trust game plans, Nah best a dick like you can come up with is but were 3rd.Because we haven't improved we could be 5th in 2 weeks.
They only come out when they loose... when they win they say shit. In fact they mention how well the players are playing so they start attacking the rotation or the bench. That’s when they are winning. When they loose its back to BA & they have all the answers. Dick heads that are like a bunch of woman that know f$&k all.
They also come out when we win with more negativity, haven't you noticed, no one wants to lose obviously, we have the team on paper, it's just a matter of applying themselves to their full potential and the potential is there somewhere.
