  Not out-coached. We are just not winning field position because of lack of defensive intensity and lack of forward momentum. It’s not like BA coaches them to not run hard enough and concede post-contact meters.
  Norman and Moses are on the hook here too, because they have reverted to passing way before the line again

  At the end yof the day , size matters. We are outmuscled in evey game, and once TRex went, we have no comparable player to push through the line

  as before, too much loyalty to players who played though the cap drama, and not enough done to strengthen the forwards, now that has become a major problem

    Spot on, you can only play aggressively and above your weight so often. That is why it looks like we are inconsistent, when really the forwards have to red line all game to get on top, and physically it just can’t be done game in game out.

      I’m telling you now we won’t beat the dogs or even get close to them.. It’s the same old structured shit the coach will rely on next week TRUST ME. They will out muscle us & out grind us cause he will refuse to change it up.. It will be the death of him. BA is a good coach ‘if’ he had a team with the right structure’s I.E Melbourne . He had his time to build this side, he bought players like Scott, watmough etc etc to build that mel like brick wall.. He didn’t use juniors for the Simple logic of building a side to accommodate what was needed to win comps today. HE’s simply failed. As much as I’ve loved him over the years,  I.e blooding players like Kenny,  gutherson, Manu, French. It hasn’t been good enough & unless next week he turns the whole play book around then it will be the same old shit & we’ll be talking about how the F we lost to a dogs side who’s worse than ours!
