+x+x+x+x+x+x+xI am going to question Pay's decision making here..... He has demoted Lewis due to so called poor performance when I thought he was one of our best players. He has then gone on and left players with poor to mediocre performance in first grade aand I feel we have actually gone backwards. Oh well, I was enjoying the year, I just have to see how good Dean is at being a proactive coach. Pay has no idea, he proved it yesterday with the one of the worst game plans in history. As far as I can tell, our plan was to punch through the middle of the Storm with hard straight running, when the players tried that they got good results. The we had a lot of pointless shifts at the opposition end with forwards flopping the ball back, hard to believe that was the plan... Cogger was doing nearly all of the kicking, that was bad regardless of whether it was a plan or necessity. Sure the coach got some things wrong, but in this game the players got more things wrong... I still don't know if we are heading in the right direction, this season is more about setting up next season..... That games was disappointing, but the same 2 halves were good against the Titans.... it looked lime the Storm had done their homework and we didn't surprise them. Strategy would not surprise them, 80 minutes of intensity would have.. Yeah the Titans another great side. Difference in class yes, but I think the gap between all teams in the NRL is not as great as it appears,,,, The difference is mostly confidence, execution and sticking to a plan for 80 mins.... all of the lower sides make poor decisions and force plays that are not on. I'm not disappointed that we lost against the Storm, just disappointed in the way we lost as we beat ourselves more than they beat us. Lewis/Cogger - Lewis is a way better defender and when in forma a better kicker, Cogger seems to kick OK, some games and poorly in others. Cogger is a very good passer, we don't really use that at present. At the time Pay dropped Lewis Cogger was playing better, Lewis just had a patch of poor form. If Leis is back in form he might be the better option, Cogger does need to get more consistent and improve his kicking. if he gets back in the side, Lewis needs to run more, both have plenty to work on. Lewis was terrific yesterday. On his worst day he is better than Cogger. I don't get why people can't see the obvious. JMK tries hard but he isn't good enough. Cogger is the same. They are reserve graders. As I alwatys say how many sides would have them in their team? There is a reason we are last. Too many reserve graders and a coach who is proving inept. You obviously have a thing in for Cogger. Great to see Lewis in form. When he did have his worst days he was worse than Cogger. Both he and Cogger have had to play behind a dominated pack with slow play the balls, no set plays, no angle runners except Jacko doing a burner, no centres who make a break. Lewis is a great defender but rarely runs and indeed seems to panic when he has no one to pass to. They both are unfortunately being rated on not only a dominated pack, but a lack of a game plan. As I said yesterday, the Storm had leaked only 2 tries all year on JAC's side but our plan was to play that side. The Storm had leaked 17 tries through the right edge, but no plays except one outs. Then BINGO, an offload and a try. Crichton was having a blinder in the 1st half. Had one ball in the 2nd half. Smith could be the best winger in the NRL. Who would know, he doesn't get a go. Ditto Meaney. Tactics are abominable. Really, Tolman is a laughing stock among supporters of other teams. Gets the ball so often and many times when the go button has been pressed only to die with the ball on tackles 3,4 or 5, sometimes two of them. What other team does this with a player who is only a defender. Yet Ogden always puts a dent in the defensive line but plays about 30-35 minutes, behind Danny F and Napa. Seems like Desball wasn't all that bad. That is my rant. BTW Steve and Moolooladog feels like about 1962-1964 watching all this. (1962 only 1 win). Should be 1964 only one win.

I think Cogger's 5th tackle options were made to appear worse by the fact no one was coming through to challenge the Melbourne catcher. The kicks were not high enough or swirly enough to present them with great difficulty. One thing that stood out yesterday was how big the Melbourne players were compared to our team.

As I see things Lewis is a definite NRL player, Cogger a probable NRL player. Cogger is a definite halfback Lewis is a possible halfback.... Whatever his limitations Cogger is the first real half back we have had since Kimmorley. The only other genuine halfback option at the club who might be even better is Wakeham, having Cogger allows us to not rush Wakeham. I think if we could replace Foran with a running utility who can cover 5/8, fullback, centre and wing, we would have a better balanced side, Lomax looks like the guy to me. It is a shame Jacko & Tolman are stuff up a lot of our attack, as their defence, leadership, work rate and commitment can;t be questioned. I think Napa and Odgen should be the starting props one of Jacko or Tolman should be 13, with the other one coming off the bench. Apart from that we just need a good 9. If think the right 9 can fix 90% of our problems,. The right or wrong pass from dummy half sets the tone for a play, a sequence of good options, is way better than a sequence of bad options. It needs skill and most importantly brains... we can't have a fill in player in this position.

I reckon Tolman gets the ball sometimes because JMK just looks and he is there. I honestly think Cogger and or Lewis don't have the 9 or players around them to succeed. They have the ability. Give youngsters like Roumanos or Harper or even Hetherington a run. Other teams are playing 18 and 19 year olds. What to lose.

What I don't understand is, if we as ordinary passionate supporters see so many alternative options within the players we have, then why are the people in charge ignoring these options. Because if we can see them, then surely they do also.

Plus as nodster pointed out, Melbournes left edge has been a fortress all year so why would the players continually attack that side. Did they think that for some inexplicable reason they may be able to buck the trend. It wasn't one of our most intelligent performances this year.

+xVilla Villa Villa Villa Villlaaaaaa You bloody beauty...... I saw Marki at Wembley dressed in a Derby jersey..... I knew it would Villa’s night!!!! Saw the 2nd half, big match, huge packed venue, but fairly ordinary contest. The 2nd AV goal was a lucky slow deflection most other goalies would've stopped if they were awake. When Derby clawed back to 1-2 that's when it came alive & got more interesting during the last 20mins. Even then both teams were only creating half chances & only being half good enough to do anything with those chances. Glad to see AV back in the EPL for their efforts but I can't see them winning 8 in a row next season like they managed against 2nd tier sides to get back in. All they need now is a dedicated fan to help with signing suggestions...I could've sworn I heard one yell out "technical loss" though...

+xOn Seggy, read this morning the joke that is NRLol Leadership allowed him to play without being registered... Just gotsta have a QLD team in the finals for ratings eh???... #todd&comustgo... That is a bigger issue for the game than his drink driving charge. He blew less than 0.05 but only got done coz he was on P's. Still illegal based on road rules but hardly a life threatening act. The games integrity for allowing a non registered player though.....

It's an absolute joke... if it were us we'd be docked points and fined... id date say a 28 year old bloke is still on Ps for a reason....

Don't be so harsh on the NRLol..... as Greame Annersley pointed out, he was registered verbally just not officially and that is just a mere formality according to the NRLol.
You know the mantra " let the game flow" so why not follow with "let the rules flow".......... For the good of the image of the game of course!!!!!

+xBN.... you watch, 90% of the Villa team come game 1 back in the EPL will he unrecognisable They will splash the cash. Wheres Mitch Newton? Villa did it mate..... Mitch must've had the sense to get some sleep, unlike me, I kept going so I'll pay for it later in the day. It was by fluke I woke up in time for the 2nd half. It was a massive match though. I was surprised to see one of Prince Charles sons smiling & cheering at the end as loud as anyone. Plenty of passion from the supporters there & it seemed bigger than any NRL grand final. It's tough for any club being knocked out of EPL into the 2nd tier & AV have done well to get back so soon, the better players leave & everything has to be built up again with a smaller budget, mind you for the first year or two they were out it didn't look like they'd be back any time soon.

+x+x+xVilla Villa Villa Villa Villlaaaaaa You bloody beauty...... I saw Marki at Wembley dressed in a Derby jersey..... I knew it would Villa’s night!!!! Saw the 2nd half, big match, huge packed venue, but fairly ordinary contest. The 2nd AV goal was a lucky slow deflection most other goalies would've stopped if they were awake. When Derby clawed back to 1-2 that's when it came alive & got more interesting during the last 20mins. Even then both teams were only creating half chances & only being half good enough to do anything with those chances. Glad to see AV back in the EPL for their efforts but I can't see them winning 8 in a row next season like they managed against 2nd tier sides to get back in. All they need now is a dedicated fan to help with signing suggestions...I could've sworn I heard one yell out "technical loss" though... BN.... you watch, 90% of the Villa team come game 1 back in the EPL will he unrecognisable They will splash the cash. Wheres Mitch Newton? Villa did it mate..... Andy Carroll might be available :)

+xHands up who said we just simply had to have a bulldog as a coach... bwahahahaha!!!! While I was basically in the "anyone but Des camp", they didn't have to be a Bulldog and Pay wasn't the only option.. Pay is a good enough coach for this rebuilding phase... * A lot of top coaches don't do rebuilds, if there is an easier option available - Bennett for starters, others probably don't state it. * No one could win a comp with the current squad, or do much better than we are doing... Pluses for Pay:- * Doing a good job with recruitment and retention. * Given young players a chance. * making the right number of team changes at about the right time,,, * passing and other skills much improved. Negatives for Pay:- * defence was a shambles at the start of the season .... slow to fix defensive problems. * consistent problem getting the team to start games well. * might to too soft on players ,,, offers excuses in public (I hope it is different in private, but again this needs balance) * attack looks disorganised a lot of the time... (a lot of this could be the 9/7, and Tolman getting in the way) * attack drifted away form the better style we started with (also happened with Des) The executive summary is that the right time to make the call on Pay is this time next year, not only is that very fair in giving him a reasonable chance, if he isn't the guy for the job, he has done the hard part of the rebuild, and we are more attractive to other coaches. I can't see him doing any damage unless the team loses confidence, he either has answers or he doesn't, unlike Des at least he isn't afraid to try a few things and change the team.

They did but not before giving us a great scare. Those 7mins of injury time felt like 70. El Ghazi and Elmo were brilliant.
