In saying that Bellamy is a hard task master with old school discipline and still gets results.
The main issues are ineffective go forward from powder puff, hop, skip trundling, running types from a squad that lacks athletes with good leg drive and footwork---we look like park footballers physically and skillset wise across the park.
Defensively with a busted squad we lack the energy and freshness to win the tackle and ruck causing us to be on the back foot way too easily---especially under the new 6 again rule.
Des's teams throughout his career have enjoyed the wrestle(but "obviously with less extreme illegalities behind it) almost as much as Melb and we are getting showed up more with this rule---always annoyed me that fans here just kept focusing on Melb when Manly got away with plenty over the same period.
All this talk about Levi being the issue is so far off the mark, the same people here last year were all talking about Api being the issue when Fainu wasn't on----Penrith 10 in a row answers that question.
I don't think it is as easy as using new players in our 30 player squad without it impacting the salary cap in a variety of ways---along with creating a more disjointed squad than it already is as evidenced by the defensive structure errors from backing off, to sliding to backing off then rushing up.
