The Roosters yesterday played as good as they could and lost. The Storm yesterday played one of their worst games of the year and won by 16 points and thus making it 8 wins in a row to start the year and well on their way to winning yet another minor premiership.
The difference for the two sides totally differing fortunes? The coaches, Brian Smith and Craig Bellamy!
Put simply, Brian Smith coached sides choke in big games like yesterday and he has never won a premiership, his culture is very faulty as it certainly doesn't work and there is no true belief. Craig Bellamy is a winner, and has that winning culture and belief ingrained into his players!! And it is because of this culture that Bellamy has created which is why they win yesterday against a Warriors side that was totally fired up and throwing plenty at them. The big 3 for the Storm did not have vintage performances yesterday, it was only because of Bellamy's coaching that the side has structured attack to achieve their points, and have the ability in defense to absorb and withstand the pressure better than what any other side is capable of.
The Roosters took to the field yesterday coming off a thrashing and in front of a packed house at their home ground and on one of the grandest stages of them all, Anzac Day. Brian Smith had his job made soooooooooooooooooo easy for him yesterday. The players were always going to be pumped for this game, you would have to have no pulse not to be.
What happens over the next 80 minutes??? The Brian Smith factor!
Brian Smith's team selections cost us the game, let alone all the other deficiencies in his coaching!!
Not picking a second hooker on the bench, and picking Anasta in the side. If we had Anthony Mitchell and Daniel Mortimer in our side yesterday instead of Taka and Anasta yesterday i have no doubt in my mind we win that game yesterday!! The way Smithy sparingly used Taka yesterday it was a waste of time having him in the side. Personally i would have had Taka or Bosden at lock with the other on the bench and Arona out of the 17.
ANASTA MUST BE DROPPED!!!!!!!! How can Smithy not get this through his thick f**king skull??????????????????
Not only is Anasta not contributing anything to the side, he is a complete hindrance with giving away stupid penalties!!! Our centres or wide running backrowers are never going to see any quality ball while ever he is in our side!! It is killing us!! Smithy's inability to have the balls to drop Anasta is costing us games and should cost Smithy his job!! Don't think for a second that that is an impossible thing to do, it can be rather quite easy to do!!
Jake Friend's game has gone backwards. We got the dragons on a good day yesterday, they were there for the taking!! They had a load of players backing up from the weekends rep games and their forwards looked pretty flat, certainly not at their best. Soward is out of form, plus they had that injury to Beau Scott early in the game so they were down a man. There were holes galore in the dragons defense mainly in the first half for a good dummy half to tear the dragons to shreds. Friend is incapable of taking advantage of this with his lack of attacking ability. No speed and certainly no creativity. His kicking game is deplorable and his service can become really poor as he gets tired, he most certainly is not an 80 minute quality hooker and can not believe for the life of me why on earth we did not have a second hooker yesterday.
With a decent hooker and 5/8th yesterday we would have been leading by 20+ points at half time with the game nearly completely out of the dragons reach!!
I fully believe that due to Smithy's coaching the Roosters are not getting the very best out of our players, in particular Friend, BJ, SKD, Mose, Taka, Bosden, Morts, Mitchell, Symonds etc etc etc even Anasta for crying out loud. They do not have confidence instilled in them and they are lacking in the fundamentals of the game. Just look at what Bellamy is capable of like what he did when he had Finch. Our side has loads of individual talent , but there is so much room for improvement in our side, attack, defense, attitude, discipline, for which a great coach like Bellamy can tap into and utilize, improving all the before mentioned players games as well as taking players like Pearce, JWH, Kennedy, Aubs to another level.
We need to stop wasting our time with Smithy and do whatever it takes to get Bellamy for next year!
I love the Roosters with the greatest passion you could ever imagine!! All i want is the very best for our club, and in my heart of hearts i just know that Bellamy is our best option to place our great club where it belongs and that is at the very top, a consistent top 4 side, always making the finals and most of all winning premierships!!
