Quote: faxcar "Apart from the fact our goal line defence problems aren’t down to Brandon and part of the reasons Grix does it is we haven’t got many back rowers and for the exact opposite to what’s been presented.
Namely it might be a good idea to keep one of your highest tackle count players on the pitch when the problem is elsewhere, if you think other teams don’t do that them maybe it’s not Grix doing the inventing.
Fact is you opposed Grix from the start, you opposed him doing what you called his “party trick” with Brandon and all your arguments are all about trying to prove him wrong and you right as if you know more than he does
Unfortunately for you in any and every case regardless of who the coach is you’ll never pick the team, choose the tactics or have any say in anything else so be prepared to be disappointed when they do and it differs from you would do.'"
Thing is he has done it the last few seasons as well, not a problem then it would seem when we were getting the results. But it fits some people's narrative and desire they've had for last 3 years. It's why every topic still descends into a dig at Grixy's coaching.
For my twopenneth, RL can be a game of fine margins and confidence. Even the best teams only need to be a few % off and they can get rolled. Take Sunday, we still made similar erros to some previous games, 2 charge downs, 3 poor passes that went to opposition, knock on at play the ball. But this week we got away with it. One of our best players committed 4 of these on his own. Good job Moore didn't make them, never mind wanting him dropped some would be demanding we reopened the Gibbet.
