In spite of our current coach"s GF record , it is impossible to defend some of his brainless decisions in flogging players to death - every coach has now realised that a team cannot play at its peak for 26 rounds & then win the GF. So why
does he -
1. keep JP on the field at Bradford with 15 minutes to go when we are 20 points in front - in that time he does his knee - and he is still not fully fit today
2. At Huuddersfield on Sunday - the game was gone with 15 minutes to go - why did he keep JP on the field - was Baldwinson not fit enough to do more than 4 minutes - brainlees coaching.
3. We play Hudds for the 3rd time & he has still not worked out that you need to stop Brough - we did not get near him for 80 minutes on Sunday - has he not noticed the pressure / hits put on Sir Kev these days , with or without the ball. Warrington played The Giants played Warrington a few weeks ago & it took Westwwood 5 minutes to flatten Brough - it is not rocket science - but a boi too deep for our coach.
4. Finally on tactics - when we have one of the best centres in the league , do we not have one move when we win the ball at the scrum - every time, we bring a man back inside towards the scrum - it drives me mad - come back Webby !!!!!!!!

There was an interview with Brian Mc on Yorkshire Radio before the match. He was asked whether he thought Huddersfield had improved over the season. He said that he hadn't seen too much of Huddersfield this year.

If a head coach is not watching the easily available videos of every game the opposition plays, seeing patterns, pinpointing weaknesses, working out how your team can play to optimum to exploit them, then one struggles to figure out what he does with half his week.

Well he will have some time padded out as he's going to have to put the t's down now.

That's Chris Plume's job.

Regardless of whose specific task it is, it's still up to the head coach to ensure it's being done ... and properly.
That's why you have a head coach.

Some of his team selections might suggest he doesn't pay much attention to how his own team perform either.

Is there a suggestion that it isn't being done properly?

Sometimes watching videos isn't going to solve your problems.

Huddersfield, like Wigan, play in a pretty structured way. You pretty much know what the plan is with Huddersfield - massive pack win collisions, Lunt and/or Robinson snipe round the ruck when your markers don't get up in time, big, powerful outside backs exploit fringes where defence gets sucked in dealing with massive pack, Brough kicks deep when those bits don't get them up field.

It's not identifying it that's the problem, it's stopping it.

Pretty much every player you ever see interviewed says the same thing about Wigan. You know what's coming, but knowing about it and stopping it are too very different things.

Erm, yes.

And craigizzard to whom you replied.

Did you not notice?

Is there a suggestion by anyone who might actually know what happens in the real world being made?

Well, if McD actually did say that he hadn't watched Huddersfield play, I'd be a bit concerned.
