I believe last week was not BA fault. It was moments from 2 players who have been shit this season. Could argue it is BA fault for picking 2 out of form players to begin with. Lane and Sivo. We had horrible ref decisions and we were in the game till Sivo was idiotic. In the second half, it was Lane twice (missing tackle on Saab and standing still on N Brown short ball) that allowed Manly back into the game.
And a decent goal kicker!
Average protects and supports average, thus the circle of average continues indefinitely...
100%... that was the most derp interview I've seen in ages. Standing there, arms folded, looking like he didn't even give half a fark about anything. Shaun Lame.
I thought the BA is throwing darts comment was pretty funny. Not sure about this team lineup, but I guess we've been critical of not blooding the younger players. Maybe he is doing it as it's a game we aren't expected to win.
But I can't believe Lane holds his spot. He has given up on quite a few plays that led to tries the last few weeks. Not sure how some of the other players outside the inner circle feel about that when they get dropped for one bad performance. Nobody calls out the coach because of what happened to Nathan Brown.
I just read the Dylan Brown has been made co-Captain this week.
