Of course it's more than stats....even advanced ones.
Naturally they play a part in some decisions and the coaches have access to better ones than we have but...
Our head coach has 289 playing games.
He has around 15 years experience as a senior or assistant coach.
Add the experience of our other assistants.
Then add an in depth knowledge of the playing group.
-their strengths and weaknesses
-their injury and form situation at any one time
-priorities they may be working on at any given time.
-what their training loads look like
- development plans.
-how players fit in the team structure and roles they play
-team balance considerations
- opposition strengths and weaknesses in up coming games
-proposed match-ups
-personal issues players may be dealing with (relationships and family illness)
etc etc.
We think we might know.
We actually have little idea
Yes. I agree. Put any of us in the coaches’ box on game day and we would be found out in the first five minutes.
