Why #2

Where do you reckon Dessie stands these days in the professional analysis stakes?
He would have been seen in the top 4-5 a few years ago but now I wouldn't be sure.
I'm sure his analysis is still as good but I think he's having trouble getting the players to respond ( lost the dressing room).
I know his halves are an issue but that side has only looked interested in playing once in the last half a season.
And that was last week.
Against us !!!
Dessie technically is not that bad but i've never been a fan of the physical composition of his sides, even said so while he was at Manly.

One of the main issues i had with Dessie from an attacking standpoint in his time at Manly is a lack of creativity and punch through the middle, also not addressing the autopilot spreads that overlooked the inside shoulder plays.

At the Dogs way too much depth and second man plays, too much prop, dance stutter, pass again and again , not straightening and playing at or through the line with flat pace in numbers that is going to make the defence commit to a decision.
