Hurricanes v Force - Round 4

[whodunnit]

where the fuck was DHP meant to go... Jesus.

DHP has footwork of a draft horse. Force shown how to play tactical running rugby. This is what happens when all the coaches are forwards. Lucky it is not 50 plus!

[Marty_Mcfly]

Three forward passes in a row before another canes try

Maybe. But how many missed tackles from a disorganised defence? Combined with no pressure applied when we actually have the ball.

This loss is not down to the ref.

[Alison]

Worst thing about it is that this second half has gone exactly as that prick Marto predicted it would. That really, really, makes me wanna scream!!

Defence is capable and as good as any
Attack looks awkward they go through the motions but seem to lack the belief in themselves and those around them
When they make the break it seems to stall at the critical moment
The canes show no fear in attack and have belief that something positive will eventuate from aggressive play
For Nz teams this is built into them for the force it needs to be drummed into them
The problem being is the coaching staff
They just can't get it across and never will
The players are there to be a competitive team on the border of playing finals or just missing out but there belief in attack will let them down all season
Eddie jones Ewan McKenzie mark Hammett and a lot of NPC coaches would get a lot more out of this group
This is a dissapointing result as I firmly believed that had an opportunity to be competitive on this tour
Sack the coach

Could I suggest that they line up the replacement coach first then do the sacking?

[sevenmile]

Impressed with the attitude of RHP
A player who is playing well above what I have seen in the local comp
Showing a lot of mongrel and working hard and playing every minute as if it's his last can forgive a few mistakes
Only one fault is he's from Cottesloe
This is good to see passion and aggression from an fringe player
If the centres hit the holes with the same mentality this could have been a much better result

[AndyS]

To be honest, I think one of the best things they could do is watch that over from start to finish twice tomorrow. Ignore themselves completely, as realistically there is little to be gained looking at that again. They need to focus on the 'Canes, as even off their best form they show what a running game really is. That is what the Force need to watch hard and learn from.

Why?

I wonder if the Reds are scheming behind the scenes to headhunt MF ?

Because there always seems to be a lot of angst and speculation surrounding coach sackings. It feels like some rather sad spectator sport. Presenting the world with a faite-acompli just seems better at the moment.

Sometimes you are not up to the job
Kafer summed it up perfectly on rugby 360 on wed after being sacked by Saracens if you can't do it find something you are good at

[Beliefs]

Why the hell can't the Force organise a rolling maul to get over the line and score. Obviously don't practice it as to go from hot on attack 5 metres from the goal line to standing behind your own posts seconds later is far from acceptable. We have not been able to defend rolling mauls and we can't execute them either. I'm with some of the comments above, the Force will go nowhere while Foley is the Coach.

[travelling_gerry]

I thought the guys did well to be in there up to 60.
But, if it give ammo to the Fern brigade, so be it.
