1.We are not getting good early ball to the play makers from the dummy half in addition the other teams know friend probably wont take a quick run from the play the ball so they are moving up really quickly on cronk and keary to put them under pressure.De belin was tasked with this when we played the merge and did it well.Manly did it on sunday.All teams will now employ this tactic against us AND mad if they didn't. 2.We have a young right center who is a terrific attacking player in Joey Manu playing on the wing outside latrell getting less ball than latrell who is getting none himself. 3 Latrell the most devastating player ball in hand in the world according to johns but he gets no ball except when he gets it to kick a goal or on a restart 3 We have a second row forward playing right center need i say any more? even the coaches MUST know this is not good as i saw fergurson come into right center in attack a couple of times on sunday his disallowed try was from RC 4 Then you have poor old teddy who is at the back trying to work out whats going on but then realizing nothing much is happening so takes a few runs up the middle.Thats some of it but on a positive note the defense is not too bad.

Our fan base has gone from everything is the halfbacks fault to nothing is the halfbacks fault -
It’s on the halves to sort it out. Cronk only seems interested in working for field position for his kick. That’s what our whole attack seems based on. Nothing much doing besides that.Comment

Because the start of every tackle is dummy half, and when that doesn’t ask any questions of the markers and other defenders, it makes the playmakers easy targets for a rushing defense. You don’t need a 200IQ to work it out.Originally posted by 200 IQ View PostComment

Was never a problem for Pearce though was it. Nor for Pearce and Keary together. What’s changed? Doesn’t take a 200 IQ to work that out either.Originally posted by OMR View PostComment

What a load of bullshit. Fans at the games, Twitter and Facebook pointed the finger at the halfback being the problem and now we’ve upgraded the problem is hooker. Same problems, different players.Originally posted by OMR View PostComment

That's the difference between you and I. You base your knowledge on opinions from twittwer and facebook, whereas I listen to what past and current players ( who actually know what they're talikg about) and journalists and commentators who have been watching and reporting on the game for decades.Originally posted by 200 IQ View Post
Now go run along to your 13-16 year olds on facebook and twitter and let the adults get on with their talk.Comment

one thing i have noticed about cronk is when he does the tackle 5 bomb he is being completely tackled to the ground and is the last person back onside.1911 1912 1913 1923 1935 1936 1937 1940 1945 1974 1975 2002 2013 2018 2019 2020Comment

I don’t follow those opinions but that’s what the opinion of the majority of fans have whether you get triggered by it or not I don’t give a shit. The fans wanted a new halfback, the fans got a new halfback and now the fans realise that 7 wasn’t our issue and they’re coming up with hilarious bollocks to justify sitting in that deep hole they’re in because god damn they’re just realising we had a pretty decent NRL standard halfback in the first place.Originally posted by OMR View PostComment

Yeah we did, a pretty decent one. We got arguably the best to replace him
Our real issue wasn’t 7, it was our forward pack, which we haven’t addressed. JWH is not what he was before his knee injury(as expected), Napa is slow and cumbersome, Liu isn’t firing consistently, Matto is not a back rower,yet, Boyd is down on form, SST hasn’t hit his straps and Friend is really showing his age and showing glaring issues in his game that were masked by Pearce ALWAYS being the focal point of why we lost games or couldn’t get us to the next level, we don’t have a decent 3rd prop in our rotation, Maubs is getting on, Butcher is not getting a lot of game time and Radley is killing itComment

By "the fans" you mean yourself.Originally posted by 200 IQ View Post
I know I'm not on me pat malone in thinking Pearce was an issue, and still would be if he didn't piss off to Newcastle.
Friends decline in form has nothing to do with it.
