First Grader
After 7 games we now have a good sample of where the team is.
At times they are brilliant, when on their game and can devastate teams. That is becoming lesser and lesser now.
The indiscipline is rampant in the teams game. It cost us the game tonight and we just play really dumb at times.
Our pack really concerns me. They are honest plodders and apart from Oka they are not even close to being the standard that we need if we are to improve as a team.
The elephant in the room is DCE. We know he is moving on and until he announces what he is doing the team will continue to fall, its an unwanted shadow hanging over the club and it needs to end!!!
We have some significant problems.
The Turbos are really beginning to cost Manly, Jake is fading as a player and is no longer an 80 minute player, Tommy is always injured and that just upsets the rythym of the team. Young Ben is not first grade standard!!
Our roster and salary cap need a total overhaul. The imbalance of the cap has meant that the positions that we really need to strengthen have been ignored and we have fill ins that will never win us a premiership.
Some hard decisions will need to made I believe before the end of the season, starting with the coach and whether he is the guy to move us forward. Seibold is a nice guy and I think we need someone ruthless to coach our team.
We need to move on some of the deadwood in the squad. Our forward pack needs an overhaul, we need a dominant prop, a hooker that controls the ruck and a lock forward that is faster and creates. We are behind in all these areas compared to the top teams.
Now that we know DCE is moving on, its time to invest in some alternate plans especially while he is away at Origin.
We are not likely to challenge this year, maybe fall into the 8.
After so much optimism after round 4, its all gone pear shaped and the club is in a hole of its own making.
The leadership of the club need to arrest this slide. Tonight was always going to be tough, making a team play on a 5 day turn around after a trip to Perth is really unfair. The game was there to be won but our untimely errors cost us every time we got close.
Our season is at a crossroads, its time to get it right or start moving guys on!!
