Re: Disappointed is an understatement : Mon Aug 13, 2012 9:49 am  
Ian Millward is slowly building "his" own team for 2013 and beyond. I am willing to give him at least the start of next season as I think he was handicapped this year by players coming to the end of their career's, players coming to the end of the contracts and poor recruitment (I wouldn't blame IM for this but more the BOD for taking so long to appoint TM replacement).

The signings for 2013 are encouraging and I feel that each of the 6 players signed so far is an improvement on the ones that they are replacing. I still feel that we need another 4 new players (Rhys Williams, Wellar Hauraki, a loose forward and a Prop would be my choices) to come in as well as the retention of Griffin and Snitch (1 year only) to give us a competitive squad next year.

Where fid I specify that Snitch is competitive. I mentioned that him, along with other signings would contribute towards a competitive squad. Go troll somewhere else.

I had said on another thread that i would be prepared to give Millward 6 games into next season, well his team selection yesterday has changed my view....why on earth would you start an inexperienced but fairly talented young scrum half at FULL BACK?

Why didn't he play Owen at full back (after all,he was convinced he was his 1st choice selection there that we got rid of Mathers), then bring in James Clare or Josh Atkinson in on the wing?.

I bet Craig Gower & Michael Witt couldn't believe their luck and targeted the poor kid in the 1st half...it was complete professional suicide.

Also when you see the likes of Craig Huby's and Adam Milner's heads starting to drop you realise thinks are at a critical state.

Re: Disappointed is an understatement : Tue Aug 14, 2012 2:30 pm  
There was amoment in the first 5 minutes on Sunday when Ellis ran across the line and dropped the back rower off in the channel and he was clattered - me and my pal both said "who run's that crap play anymore, you have to be more imaginitive" in the next set Gower ran the same play and their back rower poured through a gap unfettered and passed inside for Dorn to score!!!!

So, the bottom line is, could our defense have read that? Yes - should they at that level, yes - is it a question of being prepared to get hurt for a cause and they simply couldn't be bothered? Yes I think so.
It is easy to blame Basil and he has some responsibility but jesus, the run on people need to have some responsibility for their own actions.

Great coach over the years? He's won 11 of his last 51 games in charge of a full time team.
