Jamal Fogarty

[Disco]

Luai & Turuva also gone?

Correct though to be fair he did say "from the pack that won the comp"

 

[BOZO]

This , Fogarty imo is looking good because of his forwards, its amzing even Sexton at dogs look ok behind a decent pack...

This is a very Good point and the point is a half back plays better behind a Pack that packs a Punch

To think other wise and keep a false positive by denying this prerequisite essential is living in denial .

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Big difference between the hard running, young , enthusiastic, up beat and committed Raiders pack compared to our slow, old, plodding, mediocre, powder puff bunch of reserve graders.

Of course. This explains why Manly thrashed them by 40.
(or maybe it doesn't)

 

[BOZO]

He's not an excitement machine, but, doesn't make mistakes, competent tackler with a good kicking game and a good back up goal kicker if needed for Garrick.

He has a steady hand and great kicking game . Good game manager .
He is not an Elite half that can do it all on his own .
He is a competent half that can do what is required to assist his team to win a game .
He is not Brooks .

Mistakes happen when your pack is misfiring and that puts pressure on the halves
A half will play at a different level behind a different performing pack

At the moment he is playing behind a young , virile and mobile pack and a passionate coach that has his team well tuned firing on all cylinders and he overseas his boys not far away from the stands but side by side from the sidelines
All those things can make a Big Difference

Of course. This explains why Manly thrashed them by 40.

The above thrashing explains that all teams have an off day

What explains and separates the top teams from the bottom teams is that it is essential that a coach can get his team playing at a consistent level to keep them competitive in finals time

 

[bob dylan]

He'll be thinking WTF have I done.

I doubt it.

He will be 32 when he gets here, we are his super annuation top up.

Let's hope he has success here but he won't be bringing alone.

We need at about 4 new recruits of the Bullimor kind, players on 300-450k and keen to make their mark and a marquee coach with the ability to both attract and motivate players.

 

[BOZO]

If Seibold survives another year
We all look in anticipation how Fogarty game goes
Under Seibold Brooks game has not evolved
Like Fogartys game evolved under Ricky

 

[BOZO]

I doubt it.

He will be 32 when he gets here, we are his super annuation top up.

Lets hope he has the enduring DCE DNA
At 36 DCE is still Playing Origin

So how do you explain this?
Ricky Stuart coached sides have made the finals only 45% of seasons.
Seibold is at 60%

 

[BOZO]

Personally I like Fogarty
He is a Good Man and the signs of a good Man is that he puts his family first and he Takes the better money that is best for his family to come to Manly
He has plenty to offer and I hope he also can play with a well coached team to complement his skills . A better 5/8 than Brooks will also assist .

IMO Brooks is another recruitment at Manly that is holding us Back

 

[BOZO]

So how do you explain this?
Ricky Stuart coached sides have made the finals only 45% of seasons.
Seibold is at 60%

I can explain your stats by the facts that Ricky has been in more rebuilding stages than Seibold
The Rebuilding stages take longer to get the win percentages up

 

[Frogz]

So how do you explain this?
Ricky Stuart coached sides have made the finals only 45% of seasons.
Seibold is at 60%

I bet Seibold doesn't coach in excess of 500 NRL games. Seibolds win % is 48 Rickys is 51%. + one premiership. And I dont like Ricky, but I think i dislike Seiboild more after 12 rounds..

I see the obvious in what you see feathered friend
I do not see Seibold lasting Rickys duration
Just like I did not see Barrett either
But off course we all see different things like Parker , Harper and Croker

Yep, it'll be nice to have a calm head steering the ship under pressure instead of headless chook mode & 1% kicks on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd tackle.
