Been at the cooking sherry again John?

I've just watched some of the 2010 Grand Final. You can say we had more classy players on board then, but there were more offloads in most sets of 6 than we see in most full games, the guys ran in hard every time, we took on the line, and had players backing up at speed in support of any breaks.

The defence was probably on a par with what we see nowadays, but it was exciting and enjoyable to watch, and there was always a real chance of something happening from any part of the pitch. Shad just staying in play on our line and Rob scoring a full length of the pitch solo try on the next play sums that up.

I do think we've got a decent set of players now, albeit not with the collective flair that we had then, but they seem to have had any concept of using their individual talent coached out of them in the interests of following a "game plan".

We know that respecting the ball in our own half is important (we did use to have a go at Matt C's team about that!), but when we get over the half way line, we need to be far more expansive and try different things. Even "building pressure" can sometimes be important, but each game is different, and being able to adapt during play without sticking to a restrictive playing style is so crucial.

No disrespect to NWC, but they were there for the taking on Sunday, and we could/should have put 40+ points past them. My prediction pre-match was 46-12 .... I got the 12 right!

I repeat.
Repost one of your comments which is worthwhile.
Your simply trying to cause trouble.

I don't think I'm doing too bad John at the moment thanks. I'm sure at over four thousand posts you've had the odd worthwhile post.

You say I'm on here to cause trouble, I say I'm on here to challenge the cosy consensus which has built up on here and doesn't reflect what a lot of loyal Fax fans think and feel.

To be honest though mate I don't think anyone is feeling "cosy" about much to do with Fax these days.

If anything concerning the "Back Him or Sack Him" thought the consensus is leaning more to "Sack Him".

I'm sure it will have at least been considered.

As stated before something just doesn't seem right and not knowing all the facts there is quite logically a difference of opinion whether that would be the best thing to do at the moment.

It may well be but it could make things worse, with the benefit of hindsight we would all be able to make the right choices, trouble is we don't have it until after the event.

Where has Krusty the monotonously, odius banal clown gone? Ccome back - nearly on 7000 posts!

This situation stinks. After asking what he perceived to be the problem in the camp, certain ex-Fax player said to me as he left, "I wish I could tell you even half of it mate". Needless to say, I feared the worst.

Thanks Karl but toodle pip. We berated Matt C but at least we had flair. Why can't the BOD get someone with some financial clout in tow?

because we're skint
