Excellent post Tigermonk.
At least you can see the difference between Ratten and Wallace.
You might have to put up with 4 more weeks of pain unfortunately.
its simple it dont take 3 years to build muscle & reflect on skills & game plans
game plans are worked on over summer & on the training track & during practice matches & adding players to them game plans wouldnot alter the task set
our tackling is pathetic
what players tackle without pinning the players ability to get the ball off or slide down the player putting them out of a 2nd effort
why play on after marking the ball putting yourself under preasure & putting the next player under preasure who receives when 20 metres away there are better options & the best option to kick it forward not handball it sideways to a standing player
why kick to Richo who has 3 opponants when there are players 30 metres away there are better options of a free player to line up for goal
why go backwards to a free player when 30 metres away forward there are better options
why go across ground where 40 metres forward there is a leading forward 5 metres in front of his player
why are there no desperate 2nd or 3rd efforts for the ball near goal attacking or defending
why are there bad matchups
why are no players guarding the goals
the new players skills were better before they got to Richmond why they going backwards l seen alot of these players before joining the RFC
why why why why why BAD COACHING
