Why the mysterious title change? Is someone back on the kool-aid again???

47 pages of Sack Ricky sentiment, now watered down? This club will go nowhere until he is sacked, pure and simple. Watch for this thread to be on fire by mid-season

It’s a moderators job- if we’re already sacking Ricky before the first trial then by 2 games in he’ll have to change the title to “Wicker Man Ricky at the next home game!”

I wouldn't put too much stock in whatever tonight's trial game result is. Ricky's running the B Team IMO, which must be a bit of a kick in the guts to a few of those players especially Williams and new boy Ryan Sutton.

Meanwhile, Eels have named a side featuring more NRL regulars including Junior Paulo since it's the only trial they're playing this year. I think we can guess the result.

The Eels are playing more than one.

I'm all for sacking Ricky but can we at least wait until we blow the first 3 games. I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell my kids every weekend... it's too early for this crap

No one who’s looked at this would ever put any stock into the results of a pre season game.
Getting out of it injury free and seeing where the fitness levels are, and seeing how someone like Ryan Sutton looks individually, those are the types of things to look for

I couldn’t care less if we win by 50 or lose by 50
Teams have entirely different ideas on what they want to get out of pre season games.

Just one example... every time i've researched the matter it's been clear that there is no real correlation between a good pre season results and a good season

I agree to an extent but a trial is still a game of footy. These guys should be physically and mentally preparing just as they would be doing in a competition match.

That's just... that's just not how it works, in any sport.

The players cant prepare physically and mentally the same as they would for a game that matters when they are know this game does not matter

Mentally, you just cant replicate the pressure to perform when it counts knowing full well this game doesn't. Similar to a job interview, you can do mock interviews or rehearse your talking points all you like. But you can't replicate the feeling and pressure of the real deal.
And physically, the simple reality for guys who are locked into their spots, the regular FGers... they're preparing to knock some rust off, get a gauge on how match fit they are, and MOST importantly (and this is stressed by the coaches all the time) stay healthy.

And yes, yes, yes, i get it! You can get injured in training! You can be hit by a car! blah blah blah. It's risk management. You are far more likely to get hurt if you're out there pushing yourself to your limits like you do in a game that counts.
I could walk outside and get hit by a bus, it's true! But you dont needlessly and recklessly increase those chances by doing blind cartwheels across the Civic interchange intersection. The guys will play football, but their main outcome here is to avoid injuries. I dont care how physical or mentally read you are, you cant help anyone from the Rehab room.

I just can't imagine Craig Bellamy or Trent Robinson telling their players any match doesn't matter. Call it pride in the jersey or accountability for performance. Apart from match fitness/combinations even the successful sides want to gain some new season confidence. No one wants injury, at any stage of the season. But go into a match half hearted and that is a recipe for injury/loss of confidence.

Only a coach who knows his job is not on the line would have this 'save ourselves for the finals' mindset. That is not on Sticky, that is on those who appoint and monitor/care about coaching performance.

We better not get thrashed by 50 Pigman or i'll be demanding a review of the review. Then i'll want that document evaluated. Then that document cross referenced to inform the review of the evaluation. I don't care if we do more frivolous reviews than Shane Watson, we'll finally get one right.

I would propose to you that NFL is not a great example here as it doesn’t seem to be a stamina sport.

No one here is demanding that we win. I don’t care if we lose because we spend all game messing with the combinations. What I want to see is Ricky settling on first grade combinations in his trials and checking match fitness in his top 17, not **** around with 18-40 who will contribute 2/5ths of **** all to our premiership chances.

How many NFL teams are experimenting with line-ups while they start a season 0-4 piggles?

A decent amount actually
:lol:

Most of them bad football teams who know they’re bad and are already planning around the draft in 10 months time haha

But you can look at any sport, Greeny
I’m very familiar with the nfl side but I’ve looked at NRL, AFL, Football, Baseball, Basketball

No correlations anywhere
You’ve nailed it though, you want the coach to be settling on combinations, the players to be making sure they’re match fit and ready to rip in round 1

That’s it
