These are grown men who have "ousted" several coaches over the last few years. What exactly do you think he can do when we have no credible option to replace them? I'll tell you what he can do, get rid of them and bring in new players to replace them when their contracts are up. Oh yeah did you notice next season is probably going to be our biggest in terms of player turnover since the merger? I'm not convinced Agar is the man for the job but to say he should somehow make the players play better by stopping their pocket money or grounding them is just stupid IMO.'"
Thing is, it's his job to get the maximum out of what he's got and to design a gameplan to do this and target the opposition's weaknesses. On the evidence on show today:
His motivational skills are non-existent. Heads went down after the early interception
The team are not playing as a team. There's no back-slapping after a knock-on, no one geeing the players up after a try.
Rangi Chase is the star of Cas's team. It's not rocket science to target him. Thought he'd rolled in dog turd before the game, so reluctant were our players to get anywhere near him.
To start with Whiting on the bench was stupid.
To play Tickle at all was also stupid. A broken wrist FFS - surely there's a risk of tendon damage if he makes it worse.
There is no gameplan other than to pass to either Berro (Plan A) or Manu (Plan B) and expect them to conjure up something from nothing. The problem is that Berro's brain works twice as fast as anyone else's and no one backs Manu up, so unless they score themselves we're fecked.
I'm a bit out of sorts tonight.
