every one of those names you mention, how well did they all do under other coaches?
Despite the NSW win, how much better were they (those that played) in even this year’s Origin.

Can you see the pattern now??? No? 100% coach fail.

Unb-Eel-ievable! Parramatta blow away Broncos 58-0

Looking back at the games Bris won it was nearly always was when they went off the plan and played their own game.

2nd half the Eels started the same way they finished the first half, did the Bronc’s coach sitting high up not tell them to shut that door down?

Seibold was a huge embarrassment even before that day he first walked in, no he didn’t get worse, but what’s wrong is he didn’t get even a tiny bit better, smarter, wiser, or more helpful. Couldn’t even help the players with his birds eye view of the gaps. Same stupid rubbish every round except (as mentioned) when the team dropped his useless plan and played.

Bronco’s need a coach urgently, a real one.

LOL, bunnies “pride of the league”, owned by a kiwi that looks like a homeless bum, stacked with poms (as their “leading stars”), coached by a Queenslander (who even after he took the job said he would have preferred to coach the Titans if he couldn’t have Broncs), and cheered on by ainchient farts that over too many beers at the RSL still preach that Aussie and NSW pride matters and that’s exactly what the bunnies stand for (how, they’re almost exact opposite???)

Sure, keep them in the league, they have lots of fans **all over Aus**, but [let’s change topic and be honest] what actually holds them to Sydney apart from some ugly club rooms? If there was ever a club ripe for relocating it has to be the bunnies, to Perth. (Further would be better, but Perth will suffice.)

Utter embarrassment as the ‘pride of the league’ are pummelled by the Roosters

bunnies vs broncs: broncs are sort of sometimes winning by confusing the other side with ridiculous plays that doesn’t seem to make any sense to the players themselves, bunnies are just plodding out the same rubbish each week and everyone facing them is already set because they know exactly what’s coming.

one thing that would hugely increase both these teams: swapping coaches.

don’t laugh, in 2019 think about what put these teams where they are now?
not bad ideas, just the wrong ideas for the guys on the grindstones.
or in other words consider the rosters: the bunnies need science and maths to get some variety,
the broncs need plain sensible instructions to reach the end of a set not looking like a clown show.

Wayne Bennett bemoans South Sydney's slide

by who? the bunker?
oh wait, happens so often it’s not “if”, but “how many times.”
for dreams though would be great to see that the dogs still have a tooth or two left.

The Roar’s NRL expert tips and predictions: Round 22

This is why the “video REFEREE” is just wrong
they need to go to the system like union where the video provides assistance/information/replays for the on field ref, the final decision remains with the on-field ref.
There’s 2 on field refs – one is designated the “senior” referee, the other the “assistant” referee – when they disagree the senior is the final say
then there’s the “video” referee that the senior ref may “call upon,” but when he does so the video referee becomes the highest ranking referee. (Other times when the video spots something when not called upon he must communicate that to the senior referee for action.)

But when the **SENIOR** referee refers to the video ref he/she is stripped of all power and basically becomes a member of the audience. It’s laughable, the title should be changes to the “sometimes senior referee”

There must be 1 person in full charge for the entire game, can’t have some of it refereed by one person and other parts by another…. even Anesley said sometimes those 50-50 decisions are up to the refs interpretation or even their gut feel

here we have 2 people taking turns to make possibly 50-50 calls, 2 people that may have slightly different interpretations, 2 gut feels, INCONSISTENT OFFICIATION IN A SINGLE GAME

they must fix this, video ref out, video assistant. final call: Senior ref only.
One interpretation, one gut feel, for 80 minutes, not two

The Bunker self-implodes after completely forgetting on-field decision

Sadly most news/columnists (even including Kent who normally I admire) and Rotho (who’s dated but usually still a straight shooter) keep talking Seibold up.
One common phrase is along the lines of, “he’s a thinker rather then action man.” Ummm, guys, “thinking” about scoring doesn’t actually get points on the board. Seibold moves into a club and does nothing – even the bunnies only improved (a bit) by not changing anything – it’s like using chopsticks, the more you do the same thing over and over it’s natural the better you get.

Anyway what this tells me even the newso’s (aka experts) don’t have a clue what Seibold brings. Another common newso phrase is “he’s a nice guy, well liked by everybody.” Well so is Barney the Dinosaur, should he be the next coach? Where’s anything you can point at on a score sheet and say “that was Seibs?” Anything?

Even with a grumpy Bennett serving his last year on notice where do you think the Broncs would be? No matter how pissed off he was Benny’s own pride wouldn’t let him sink the Broncs to where they are now.

The only stat that matters for the Broncos
