Show me the evidence of what coaching of rugby league systems Rick is good at.
- Attack is constantly disjointed
- Last tackle options are generally poor
- very few overlaps generated
- players often look like they don’t know their role
- No composure or game management, or signs of situation-specific game plan (remember we couldn’t even set up for, let alone kick, a field goal for 3 or 4 years)
- bench and interchange management has never been mastered
He’s had 7 years to show improvement in any of the above areas. Yet here we are still running around like it’s 2014 and Blake Austin’s anoos is on fire
Kris was good. So was Hudson.
Penrith also very good. But you could see in the first 25 mins the same mentality that cost them the GF. They were over-pumped, disjointed, easy to forced mistakes from. We did not quite put the points on in that period, but were not far away (Croker's miss).
Then employing the same mentality, Kikau took out Charnze, and then won them a penalty with a shoulder drop to the head that would have seen TPJ suspended for 4 weeks. That mentality could easily have compounded what was happening and cost Penrith the game like it did in last years GF. This time the way it worked out they scored points, it settled them down, and from there they were too good.
