    Coach to go?

    Can Mitch withstand the inept display by the force backline & Why didnt Nathan Sharpe address it? Its groundhog day and 2010 looks like every other year. Mitch loses key players & replaces them with players clearly out of their depth. Starting inept9,10,12s crucially lost the game for the force with their outsides not doing themselves any favours. Sam Harris was either kicking the ball out on the full, knocking on , throwing hospital passes or dropping the pass. The question begs why wasnt O Conner brought to 10 before halftime where it was obvious poor Sam Harris was way out of his depth & why wasnt Chris O Young on alot earlier to address the slow looping service to Sam Harris. Mitchells replacements were as usual too late. The fact they came back the same after halftime suggested the backs coaching staff were either blind or inept as well at picking deficiencies. Tatapu was stood up by his man easily and the defense out wide was woeful as the great force pack ground out penalties for O conner to peg flattering themselves in a 3 tries to nil rout!
    The sooner that Mitchell wakes up to everyone has injuries and must cover them with a flexible coaching style the sooner this great pack will be rewarded with wins!

    THIS HIGHLIGHTS THE OTHER PROBLEM WITH LIVE RUGBY! The game was a spectators nightmare and did nothing to enhance new supporters to the game. Lack lustre scrums with no drive, flat defensive posting & kicking up and unders all day has replaced good old fashioned mauling, running and rucking rugby. League defense has killed any spark available to running rugby. Australiawide Rugby is now a product that is a lame equal 3rd with soccer behind league and aussie rules in terms of spectacle in Australia. Wake up O Neill, Deans, Johnson, Henry & Co your game is floundering into the sponsors abyss let alone losing its brand. - Brutown

    Wouldnt be in Mitchell's shoes for quids!!

    I am concerned about the ability of the conditioning staff what are they or have been up to??? Mitchell is doing his best with what he has..... but the recruitment staff need some questions??? I dont think experianced players really want to come here we dont have the facilities and staff to want them to join us.... Gits leaving was still the best thing (longterm) although he took all the pretty boys with him he was very influencial with the team esp after hours and on the field ouside JM ears!!!
    Put Hunt in the 5/8 position and stick with him
