Time for a new coach

[Vasco]

Hugo Savala scored a couple of tries over the weekend as well as goal kicker…Think he will get a go in firsts ?

You'd think he'll get a chance soon enough.

Why is it that we’ve had almost a complete turnover of our roster over the years yet are still one of if not the most error prone team in the comp? I reckon if we were given the entire Penrith team that in a matter of a few months it would become the most error prone side in the comp guaranteed. How can we change this as it’s costing us? We sign two players, they both get suspended one very lengthy. Does anyone at Easts have a clue how to fix these ongoing problems instead of just blaming the refs?

Yep, look no further than the guru, everything's on him.

a complete turnover in our roster might be one of the reasons we haven't made the top 4 the last 2 seasons. we lost a lot of experience in 2021

Very true but why an entirely different roster but the same errors?

You’ve figured it out roosterchook … we’ve a middling coach

Who have we lost?

Apart from Friend and Cordner? Latrell? the Morris boys?

Love Jake btw … but he wasn’t exactly an Origin stalwart you know

So who exactly have we lost that has been so debilitating to us? this team has been stacked every year since 2019 … where do you think all this salary cap sombrero bullshit comes from? people are envious of our lineup every single year … and you’re saying it’s still not good enough for top 4?

F*ck me … talk about a company drone sniffing the throne

You forgot a 300 gamer. Aubo.

Absolutely we have a squad that should be challenging for the premiership every year and our results should’ve been much better the last few years rather than just stumbling into the eight.

Seems to me you left out the influence of Cronk on the field. And on field general I would say is crucial. I don't see the Storm having won anything since Cronk and Cam Smith left. And don't forget the massive injury toll year on year. We've been at the top of the pile despite all that.

Storm won in 2020 without Cronk, and if Cheese and Welch don't both get concussed in first 15min of the 2021 prelim vs Panthers they would have been a good chance of B2B without Cam Smith.

Correct but they had Cam Smith in 2020...as good as onfield general this generation. Nothing is ever identical but I would still say on onfield general and low injuries is super important..and as you highlight without Cheese and Welch they didn't win it...

Love Aubo as well … great utility … great club man … but not an elite level rep player

I didn’t mention him for a reason

Cronk was always a 2-year deal to get an already very good team over the hump … which he remarkably did … his absence is not the reason we’ve slid down the table every single year since

Low injuries yes. Panthers have been blessed in that regard.

As much as I like Cam Smith imo people make too much of the individual players. The Storm are a well-coached machine and every player is a replaceable cog in that machine. They "couldn't win" after the salary cap scandal and did. They "couldn't win" after losing Cronk and Slater, and did. Definitely no chance after Cam Smith and desperately unlucky not to. Much like us, they are now at the point where they lost their entire premiership forward pack as well (Bromwich's, Kaufusi, Finucane) and it will take time to rebuild.

Les Miserables glaring omission of Liu and TKO.
