Re: Football IQ
Yup I can't think of any good sides who are primarily worried about how the other team comes off their line when they're attacking the line on tackle 5. These kicks weren't booming bombs from 40-50m out, that's where the better teams would employ those tactics.
Re: Football IQ
How can our football iq improve when the coaching staff keep making simple illogical errors themselves. Bench use... gameplans... kicking early ... player management... etc

Re: Football IQ
I'd say it took high football IQ to stay down when hit high and earn those penalties tonight.

Football IQ
Not rocket surgery really though is it?
The stupid part is it’ll be a talking point on NRL360 or other shows about the Raiders staying down playing for penalties. But how about the refs actually calling one live ****. They’re forcing players to stay down by not doing their job.

Not so sure it will be a talking point. It was only the Warriors. If we were playing a Sydney "glamour" club like Manly, Roosters or Rabbitohs you bet it would be a talking point though.

THE single smartest player of his entire generation, the guy who was always 3-4 plays ahead of everyone else... he's now hands dumb the dumbest **** in the coaching realm

Re: Football IQ
How about Rapana giving them a 7 tackle set with almost no time left on the clock?

Football IQ largely comes from good coaching

Re: Football IQ
Yeah, thisafgtnk wrote:Most of what you've mentioned is by and large coaching.
The coaches have eyes everywhere. They watch every bit of what's happening on the field. If a player is doing something repeatedly, it's because they're coached to do it. If they weren't, it'd be picked up almost immediately.

Not all great players become great coaches.
Re: Football IQ
Rapana is a lunatic. We knew exactly what we'd get when we moved him to FB- a whole bunch of rocks or diamonds.
He seems to get a lot more rocks when he's hampered by injury- he's struggling to stretch out again but can't dial his ambition back to his new physical limits. He was great last year on the wing, all gut busting effort. But he hasn't fulfilled the brief I'd want from a senior player over this last month- he's been as much of a source of bonehead plays as anyone else.
Re: Football IQ
The reality these days is a large proportion of your squad are athletes with very little feel for the game. I’d say once you are at NRL level being coached a football IQ would be impossible.
Re: Football IQ
Most of our players wouldn't have the IQ to know they were being sold a Scottish deerhound when they walked into the pet store to get a hamster that wrote novels

Re: Football IQ
Herbie Farnworth goes off and we don’t give Timoko a single chance, a SINGLE chance, with good, clean, early ball against his replacement. Playing a gassed side, all we needed was a few repeat sets and we would have stumbled over. Instead, we push pass after pass and hand the ball over cheaply. Disgraceful.

Reynolds put there for 5 minutes with a busted rib and we don’t run 1 play at him.

Re: Football IQ
There is no footy IQ on the field and on the coach's box. Why didn't any Raiders player and coach noticed that Reynolds and Farnforth were either injured or went off.

Re: Football IQ
Agree with all that. 25 mins to go, plenty of time to put the Broncos under pressure. We were making more linebreaks in that game than we have all year and we were simply too impatient with the ball.
Exactly the same as the earlier rounds.
I forget how many times we made a clean break only to immediately lose possession through a bad pass or messing up the PTB. Must have been 4 or 5 times.

Re: Football IQ
It’s not a good sign when the 11 year old ball boy has a higher football IQ than 3/4 of the team.

I’m so desperate to see a respected leader in this team that I would be happy to see us wheel out a 40 year old James Maloney at this point. Anyone who can tell us to calm the hell down and focus.
