Manawatu v Northland

@taniwharugby said in Manawatu v Northland:

@kev I'd say I'm happy with 80% of the squad, but our tactics are poor...attitude and confidence is not right, causing players to make shit decisions, which is all a vicious circle

We are slipping off alot of tackles, ball security is poor, so many basic skills we know these guys have just aren't there.

Our scrum was pretty good bar 1 today.

Sure we have some bloody good players out at present, but several of the ones stepping in look woefully out of thier depth and the rest uncoached.

These coaches really need to sort this team or they need to leave.

Same, happy with most players in squad. The performance is just not there.

How did Jarred Adams go at tighthead?

[taniwharugby]

@tim our scrum was probably the only bright spot on our game if that tells you anything...wasnt massively prominent in the loose that I saw.

Anyone watching Southland playing? We can do that.

[taniwharugby]

@kev yeah mate, makes you wonder what Dale Mcleod might have done with our squad which looks much stronger than Southland on paper if he'd been made head coach, especially with his eye for talent.

@tim Jared had a good game around the paddock , but was shaded by Ross Wright at scrumtime
