Season Assessment

[BOZO]

When the dogs had 4 players out in the beginning of the year Hasler could not win a game . The Assessment is that no matter how good a coach 2V is it is hard to win when you have players missing

So what your suggesting is our season is effectively over. We have two players in Joe & Kingy gone for the season and at any given time we seem to have one or two with short term injuries.

They were losing for other 'morale' reasons - weren't they ? Besides, they are cursed: cause they carry the original and best TREX.

All teams are confronted with injuries, suspensions. Its how you handle it . . . its the strategies you come up with to compensate. If you cant come up with any, get help from the other coaching staff.

The strategies necessary may be outside your comfort zone, but you should still try them. Not just week after week business as usual gradually getting worse and more panicky, losing focus, discipline.

The Moral of the story and the fact is Haslers Hayenas did not handle it very well as they were sitting on the bottom of the ladder !!!!

If I'd have known before the season started, that by two thirds of the way into the season Glenn Stewart would have missed the first two months, Brett Stewart would then miss 8 weeks, Fa'aoso would miss eight weeks, Joe G would do his achilles and Jason King his shoulder and both be gone for the year, there's no way I would have predicted we'd be in the top 8 let alone the top 4. We just can't take a trick. We finally get Snake back and Foran pulls out. It's no wonder our attack seems disjointed when every week one of our main attacking players is sitting in the stands. In one of our losses this year, Manly actually scored more tries than the opposition and in two others they scored the same amount of tries as the opposition. That's three games we have lost on goal kicks. We are not travelling great by any means, but we are in a great position considering the setbacks we've had.

There is no place on this forum for posts like these. The nerve of some people using facts over gut feeling. Ban them both Dan.

If anything we should be going better with more injuries as most of the time we get a younger member in to replace them.
