Chieka came on board and had just as much time as white did for the Pre Season. I see 2 problems 1. the style of rugby being coached for the last 3 - 4 years for years, unfortunately Deans coached a similar style. We are Brainwashed. 2. our 12, and 13, and thats impacting the 11, 14 & 15...

My point exactly

Both had a very good running game - but could also kick

NSWRU political cess pit, great quote.

HJ great thread well done. Possibly segment the age groups as I think they require different approaches. In general a school kid is a school kid and if they are playing rugby great, whether it be CHS, CAS, GPS, or Village. Up to under 10's - family, fun, club, - ENJOYMENT. I say club as it...

Respecting the thread title: Gill is the form 7 of the Aust in the Super rugby (that's super rugby) Smith can lay claims to being one of the best 7's in international rugby. A week and a half with a team, playing 70 minutes and landing the SMH 7 of the round suggests he is still up there. Last...

I like that team, and I'd definitely have G Smith in there, he is still one of the best 7 in world rugby, could we get more value out of gill at 7, and smith at 6. Interesting 6 months ago there was a strong argument the hooper should hold his position over pockock, and now he is doing nothing...

Cheers Matt, and throw in Neville as well.

We'll put but I couldn't get down to either field this weekend - care to give a wrap up?

Good feed back, any other updates from around the grounds

I luv my footy - that is one aspect I'd love to see Manly improve on, I try to get to most games but the ones I miss updates take along time to filter through. The guys at Parra set a good example on this front.

I'm only a supporter, from the outside Manly are doing alot of things right. A good brand of rugby, They are good with the supporter base, Crowds are often strong, Great day out for the kids, They take interest in their junior clubs, If doing things well attracts sponsors, partnerships, and...

Well put galah and lily,

Lacking plan and direction, to much one off

Here we go again

Agreed, those panel members did nothing for the Tah's last night. Flicked stations it was BS.

They promote it so well dont they?

JOC (James O'Connor) - as above, that is why I'd like to see him play 13. He could also create space on the inside and outside for the back 3. Mogg - I havent picked up on his defensive lapses yet. He's at the back so there are obviously defensive lapses, or miss reads, in fron of him - still early. Rathbone -...

Game plan - yes JOC (James O'Connor) Injured - yes, I think having him in 13 he'll have the opportunity to run in space, but also create space on the people outside. Having him at 10, with a 12, or 13 that is primarily front on and confrontational i.e. McCabe & Finger will limit his skills and he'll try and do...

In the WOBs for the last couple of years have lacked open field runners, is that due to: Game plan, Players chosen are more direct / confrontational, There is no open spaces, They only play one phase ahead instead of having a plan, This came to light after watching the Brumbies v Tahs game -...
