Sack Spoony Siebold

We have had so many f*cking injuries that our 17 is all over the shop…

Yes we have had some bad games but it is not like we have an actual “Top 30” or even a “Top 25”… we get pretty bloody skinny after our top 20…

This year by my rough count ... we have used 26 players in just 12 games ... (happy to be corrected) .. Can't be easy coaching ..
 
I don't think its looking knackered ... I made the comment a few weeks back that he looked disinterested / uninspired and probably wouldn't be picked for SOO .... tonight he was at his awesome best again .... attitude seems an issue for many of the games stars ... getting 100% from a player is where a great coach shines over a good coach .... imho
You could be right but I think sometimes we underestimate just how tough it is on the body playing footy at this level. And I note, that I never have. I was just been a park footy player.
Because of how he plays, he's usually getting belted by at least 3 defenders every run. It doesn't matter how big he is, it's got to take its toll. So I'm thinking sometimes maybe we shouldn't expect players to be playing their best footy week after week.
There have been a few games this year watching him at Brookie where he was spent. Shoulder probs, leg probs, to the point where he really should've come off. But he kept going.
So maybe those games where he looks disinterested, could just be him not 100% and he's being more conservative.
I'm not trying to make excuses for him and I know these days they have proper recoveries etc etc but it could be, it's just bloody hard to back it up every week.
Anyway, just a thought.

Cant be easy coaching Perspective .....
No Great feat is easy
No Premiership Winning Feat is easy
Many have tried and Many have been unsuccessful at the Pinnacle of NRL club success
