Northland vs BOP
-
@taniwharugby to me this is a coaching issue. If you look at all our players they just continually do the wrong thing.

@Nath-Jac said in Northland vs BOP:
Northland playing as individuals, debrecini playing very unstructured and its flowing thru the team, 4wds have no targets in attack, gutting.
Next week Debra to fullback, Gregory to midfield and take a chance on a young ten. Is Wiseguy available?

@kev yeah smthings not right our players are much better than this, everthing just looks tough from passing to tackling, you can see the players hurting, next week will be the week onwards and upwards.
You could tell at the Auckland game that the structure wasn’t right. Nothing has changed. Not sure what they can do now? You hope injured players would have made a difference.

A chance to get a bonus point with player from BOP red carded and we waste it.
The one backline try was fantastic. Both mostly everything else was average.
When you have three of your most talented players ( Debreczeni - what is he doing?, Nock - not making decisions quickly, Gregory - just making mistake after mistake ) so average across so many games something is very wrong.
-
@taniwharugby I can understand that. This team is going nowhere. He will be disappointed he stayed for this.

Just watched a replay from the 1st half. Us hot on attack and ball at backbetween feet. Tiatia picks up but ball was not out. Really average piece of reffing. Close to end of first half we were on attack with maul going forward and they rolled around the side and collapsed. Should have been penalty if not yellow card. No leaders in Northland team-should be in the refs ear.
-
@kev yeah the lack of experience is telling, but tactically we are poor too.
I do think there is alot more going on off the field, not sure the coaches and players are on the same page.
What's worse is 2 of those tries (15 v 15) were bloody good tries, and also BY FAR our best of the season, showing we are capable...

I am really struggling with the fact that our guys can’t execute the most basic of rugby skills, the humble catch and pass.
If I never see another person wearing cambridge blue throw a pass that goes behind the receiver it’ll be too soon.
We’re not going to get close to winning another game this year, but we somehow have to get something out of this dismal season.... Time to play our young guys who haven’t had much of a chance. They can’t do any worse, hell, they might even do better.
