Good thread. I'd agree with most of the comments, especially the need for a new 1 and 7. I'm also not sure about Baloos coaching of our attack. Disappointing season for me also.

totally agree, anderson has failed to rectify this season after so many poor performances.. starting to lose confidence in him , got a big task ahead of him next season

the one thing we fail to do and have failed to do for most of the season is to get a roll on, we never get a quick PTB, never fight for one, and we just don't ever seem to get the opposition on the back foot.

We are out-enthused. Catalan wanted it more. It's worrying enough that a team with the talent this team has can't motivate themselves but for the performances to have been as they have all season and the same mistakes to be made and enthusiasm consistently lacking, eyes are on the coach.

If Anderson is with us next season we need to see is playing with more commitment, enthusiasm and hunger. Like meast says, quicker PTB's. No standing off the defensive line. We must move up and close down the space to reduce the time the opposition have to think. Less arrogance, more application. We can be the best team in the world but if we don't try we will lose.

ln my opinion its not just the team, the whole club seems to be living in the comfort zone, fans come on here complaning about every aspect of the club, if one particular aspect is wrong it should be easy to isolate and rectify, but everyone is complaining about everything, nothing seems to work efficiently, the team, the backroom staff, the back office, but we seem to just carry on bumping along, l think its time for some root and branch overhaul, followed by some serious @rse kicking.

another thing, which danril is always alluding to is how dumb we are, game management at times is very poor.
last night was one example, we managed to edge in front 16-12 with 15 minutes to go, rather than trying to build pressure,play out sets, turn the opposition around, force them into errors etc, we get a set 20 yards from their line and immediately try to score a try which resulted in the ball smashing patrick in the face, we lose possesion, they make yards upfield quickly and score the winning try.
we are unable to turn the screw and to see games out when we are top, we always play like we are 6 points down with 5 minutes to go.

coach or players fault or both?
