Is it too late to throw some money at Bellamy?

Aikens missed tryGreen Blogger wrote:Lack of game control is the issue. In the second half they have:
Allowed a short kick off at the start.
Wighton knocked on in attack on the 3rd.
Whitehead has run it on the 5th and handed the ball over 25m out instead of having a good kick chase and pressuring Knights only to then have them march downfield and score.
Williams has kicked it out on the full.
Rapana makes a big break and kicks it away on the 1st tackle.
All bad mistakes that give away control of the game and ultimately increase fatigue in defence. No football smarts to control the game.

Please put wighton fb or centre, get sammy in, timoko in, ryan james in, piss off guler, hosrs, silva, hodgson in
Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
The only way any of this changes is if personell leave this squad. Couldn't care less if it's our coach right now.
Stuart can say it's players who need to show up but some of the most alarming numbers are on him!
Only 3 consistent starting players all year. A 93-8 for and against in second halves.
No wonder this team can't get match fit or want to play for each other.

If you can accept losing, you cannot win.
Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is

It's all related to fitness, mate. It's the only explanation for repeatedly blowing out in the back end of a game.Green Blogger wrote: ↑May 8, 2021, 4:47 pm Lack of game control is the issue. In the second half they have:

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
Good to see they only did 40mins of a preseason.
There's zero stamina in these efforts

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
Aekins and Kris missing lay ups for tries ends up being a big difference in the game.
but fellas, we can sit here and argue about player x or player y... this is beyond the playing group as much as it is with it.

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
Brailey interview explained how they beat us - effort based plays, pushing up from the middle.
The simple things our boys sometimes does in the first half, barely ever do in the second half.

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
So is that 93-8 in second halves?
Hard to argue that’s chance Stick. Time to own the fitness.

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
Its incredible how predictable the team is... we all saw this coming and it played out exactly as we saw it.
Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
Happy to keep supporting them, but can they please stop keeping doing the same thing every week and expecting a different result???
What is happening in the second half!!!
Serious question!!!!
Football brains please explain!!!
Is it fitness?????
Give me something!!!
I agree with Nickman - CNK is a huge loss - but that does not explain the entirety!!!
I am a logical person - please someone - explain how the same thing can happen week i week out!!!!

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
No effort at all today. This is a side not in it for each other and not in it for the coach.
Ricky's got a side with Internationals, a Dally M player of the year and he's on track to finish in the bottom four. At this point you wouldn't likely get a worse performance with no coach.

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
Ponga explained it in his interview - they simplified it in the second half.
Sadly our team doesn't know how to simplify things

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
yes, why, would you do this - maybe once I can accept - but twice - come on man!!!
Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
Disgraceful again. We could all point at problem areas. Everyone could suggest a slightly different issue and nobody would be wrong, because everything sucks. Eveytime the camera goes to the coaches box there is rabbits in the headlights. Ricky's got no idea.
Shoving it in your face since 2017

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
I applaud you! I'll be following at the end of this season; I've had enough of Ricky's rubbish and lack of accountability!!
It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

It's because our internationals and Dally M player of the year are resting on their reputations rather than proving their worth on the fieldMr Squiggle wrote:No effort at all today. This is a side not in it for each other and not in it for the coach.

Stop the bus at Yass and make them walk home. Play half a game get half a bus trip home. Won’t hurt their fitness

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
Boy that loss was hard to take. Toughest of the year so far. I thought we had turned a corner, but we are back to the Faiders of old, blowing established leads and mentally capitulating in every game. Its like a curse we cant seem to shake. Or maybe its just Ricky and his pathetic second half tactics.
Absolute garbage.

Rick has to go... but who at the club has the Steedens to make the call???
Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
Are there any second half tactics? Seriously, does Ricky tell them to start doing something different? I am genuinely mystified..rayden83 wrote: ↑May 8, 2021, 4:57 pm Boy that loss was hard to take.

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
They kept on saying that during the game but I'm sure we scored more than that against the Tigers in the 2nd half. Not that it matters. We also scored a try in the 2nd half of the Warriors and the Titans gamegangrenous wrote: ↑May 8, 2021, 4:52 pm So is that 93-8 in second halves?

Positive news our season will finish early which means a long off season thereby fixing the fitness issue for next season!

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day
A lot of serious questions urgently need to be asked.
First one on the list is.... can we outcrap the Bulldogs next week?

Croker should bring out a Raiders pizza in his crust shops -
It’s a half half pizza, one side with the lot and the other bare.
