Match Discussion Round 9: Rabbitohs v Panthers

Souths are traditionally aligned with Souths Juniors.
It seems we have been aligned with a Qld StateCup club?
Would that explain the appalling mis handling of our club and players!
How can one explain the appalling recruitment failures etc.etc.etc.
 
I think bad habits that we had on a minor scale have just gradually crept into our game more and more each week.

Our defensive issues arent being addressed and have also gotten worse.

Coupled with poor roster management, a lack of speed and fitness means we are way behind where we should be as a club.

Appalling recruitment failures?

Sure I would have liked a little less same ol, but appalling recruitment failures might be harsh.

On paper the side looks strong.
 
Too much influence from certain players at the club and a coach that can’t or won’t stand up to them.

A predictable game plan that hasn’t evolved.

Too many old slow blokes on the roster. Particularly in the backline.

Ignorance on what our team lacked and no effort to address some of those needs.

Recruiting players who didn’t fill any actual need. Leading to a roster that is stacked in one or two areas but is totally lacking in others.

Too many injuries and questionable management of some of those injuries.

Pig headedness in sticking with some wrong calls for far too long.

Rotating the same two or three players in and out of the team each week and failing to drop others who are as bad if not worse.

Have I missed anything?
Fitness is still no.1 for mine.

You can mask flaws with top fitness and attention to 1 percenters.
 
Reported on radio that Wighton will be 5/8 this week and Cody at Half.
Wowzers.

I mean, that at least makes losing interesting. :)

And our centres would be… ?

Perhaps getting a look at Cody the 7 for Dodd to be a 5/8? Or a JD death rattle?

It may not be true I guess.

Sheesh why bother - unless it’s the HBs job to control the ruck, wrap up the ball and defend well on the edges.

Maybe it’s like the last game of the season in Reggie’s and you have no chance of making the finals - it’s just player pick where you want to play…..
Beers at halftime ….?
 
So if Wighton is 6 and Cody what does the rest of the backline look like?

1. Gray
2. Gaigai
3. Tass
4. ?
5. Thompson
6. Wighton
7. Walker

Who plays centre? Chee Kam?

Out - AJ, Munro, Latrell, Kennar?, Graham and Te Hau
