Even two of the commentators on FOX (ex players, Brown was one) were having digs at BBs coaching... never heard that from either of them before and you could hear they were hesitant and didn't want to nail BB but the coaching was just so bad it had to be mentioned.
There was nothing in last night's (or the season for that matter) coaching to instill any confidence in this little black duck that BBs the man for next year. Nuh. It'll be more of the same.
It was the last game of the year, the players should have been fired up and enthusiastic to enjoy the night... instead they seemed clueless, directionless, spiritless, confused and lethargic. It was a disgrace. The jumper was humiliated and you can't take that back.
I understand folks look for positives and to find reasons (injuries etc) for last night's debacle.... but the reality is this group needs a strong, experienced senior coach, a leader. Because BB sure as hell has lost them, and the blow-torch should be on others in the coaching box... Barker... vamoose please.
It should have been the easiest gig of the year, getting blokes up for the last game. Nuh. The players sent a very clear message to all and sundry last night in terms of their understanding of the game plan, and those who sell it to them.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
