I was just thinking how all the coaches are ex-players. I'm not aware of a Villas-Boas situation where a Coach with 0 NRL playing experience has coached a 1st Grade side.

Hypothetically speaking, if I said "Right, I want to begin a path to becoming a 1st Grade coach", where do you start?

If you were looking to coach the raiders, changing your surname to furner or mcintyre would be a good start

I mentioned it already in my long post, but I think it deserves another...

We all remember the last time something just as heartbreaking happened, that was Penrith last years when they scored two tries in the last 90 seconds to win the unwinnable. This time, we're up by 7 with 3 mins left and we know what happened.

What was the similarity between that game and this apart form an unthinkable collapse?

Against Penrith, we had a guy making his debut for the club, Royce Hunt, given approximately 7 minutes on the field.
Against the Warriors, we had a guy making his debut for the club, Liam Knight, given approximately 9 minutes on the field.

We had fresh guys sitting on the bench watching on as the rest of the team, absolutely exhausted, capitulate in the final moments to lose unloseable games.

If you go through these moments and learn from it and become a better team, as a fan you can somewhat accept that these things happen sometimes but in the long run, we'll be better for it. When they happen over and over again and we DON'T learn from them, when we pay good money to go and sit at the stadium every week and watch it happen in slow motion, it beggars belief and leaves you wondering what's the point?

If these guys are ready for first grade, put them in a proper rotation. if they're not ready, don't pick them. Selecting guys and premeditating that they'll only get X minutes because it's their first game for the club just sets us up for monumental failures.
"Look sorry if that came across wrong, I was just referring to the jokes we were making about all the desperate guys who chase you. Hope to catch up some time, but if not best of luck with everything."

Hooker is a crucial position in an NRL team. No one in their right mind would think you can just put a career half back in there and expect it to work. You have a good hooker there. Pick your two best halves (I don't care at this point) and **** go with it. He just thinks 'well Sezer/Austin/Williams are all better than Garvey so that'll work, right?' Wrong. It's not working and it's a god damn mess.

Everyone who watches our team knows our halves can't defend. So making Williams switch sides after 25-30 minutes will just make his job even more difficult. How can he have solid combinations and trust when the guys on his inside and outside are constantly changing? The game started with Sezer defending on the left, Williams on the right. Half an hour later, it's Austin on the left, Sezer in the middle and Williams on the right. RIDICULOUS.

Interchange is crucial. Why pick a guy when you go in to the match KNOWING you are only going to give him 9 minutes. He did the same with Royce Hunt last year AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. We lost to Penrith because we were out on our feet, yet we had fresh guys on the bench who could have stopped the collapse. HE DOESN'T LEARN.

Why the hell was Havili just left to sit there on the bench? Does Stuart forget about the interchange? We're clearly unfit and we effectively play with 15 players.

What has Brett White done to deserve a shot as defensive coach? We are quite obviously over committing in the middle of the field and the poor pricks on the edges don't have a chance. How can they have a two man overlap when they have a player less? It's obscene. No one knows how to fix it.

We are a dumb team. When Johnson forced a drop out with 5.20 left, there was an opportunity to drain 40 seconds off the clock when up by 7. Pretty close to the time it takes to complete a set of six. But no, Elliott Whitehead stayed down in the field of play so that the time was stopped and we were only able to take 5 seconds off the clock. Whitehead continued on for the rest of the game.

Then to top it off, Ricky goes in to the presser and tries his old trick of saying 'Hey look over there!' and now every article is about how Ricky blames the refs. Well guess what mate - we don't buy it. We're not **** stupid. We know you're just trying to deflect attention. Too bad. We've all had enough of this ****.

We've heard it all before. 'You can't fault the effort, you can't fault the effort.' Bullsh*t! You CAN fault the effort! Because when you've been through what you've been through for the past two weeks, plus last season and 2015 losing so many close games, the effort in the last 5 minutes should be DOUBLED. But no, of course, the Warriors marched up the field three times in 3 minutes and broke our hearts again. There was no effort, no desire in the last 5 minutes. As if we'd resigned to the fact that we're a bunch of losers and this is some kind of foregone conclusion.

It's taken me many years to get to this point. I was thrilled when Stuart was appointed, we were building, he was passionate, we had some success (which was obviously a fluke) and he put a talented squad together. But now, I'm done. I so badly want him gone but I can't see an end in sight. For the first time in my life, I'm considering not going to games because it's just too much. Get Stuart out and let's start ALL over again.
Good post. Really well put.
We continue to **** about with blokes that are part of some fraternity. It's infuriating.

The lurker is throwing out a story today that he keeps hearing rumours that Sticky's contract has a clause that enables him to be sacked without pay if he doesnt make the 8 this year.

He won't quit.
He won't be sacked.

I agree he could be repositioned to a different role.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

I'm not a fan of the new set up. Hopefully we can sort it out soon.

On topic, Ricky ain't going anywhere. But boy, he really needs to justify his massive salary by making some much needed decisions in terms of selection and bench rotation.

SIince our rd 1 loss to the Cowboys last season I don’t know how you can honestly say in any loss since we have actually played well ?

From rd 7 last year Warriors win to now, we have played 20 matches and the Sharks win was the only one we actually looked like a finals team.

That’s 1 in 20 matches (plus the worlds greatest off season review in between)

We have been out of form for nearly an entire season of play. All these close losses would be easy 10pts+ comfortable wins but we haven’t been prepared, turned up or managed on field in any sort of professional match condition since.

Its on the coaching staff to get this right

I’m sick of seeing close games where the only reason it is close is because we have played horrible and let the other team stay with us - Ricky is delusional

This is all on the coaching staff. People talking about changing the captain or sacking the halves or moving our fullback are just completely missing the point of what's going on. It's shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic. There's a monumental problem with our club, and it starts at the top.

The question i have to ask ricky. Is why did they sign Garvey if they aint gonna use a Havili/Garvey combo?????

And why sign williams when we already had austin and sezer? Unless he expected to lose one or both this year and thats why we signed Higano

Having Havili and Garvey only to sign Farah is crazy.

I can see Hingano is a replacement for 1 of our halves. His game is a closer match for Austin.

So if its Sezer for Farah, thats double crazy.

This is a clear vote of 'No confidence' in the coach. The board has to act now and not wait another two years like they did with Furner.

8 players off contract gives the new coach an opportunity to hit the ground walking, instead of on his knees which is where Ricky will leave the club if he is allowed to remain.
