Video reviews should be standard practice..in fact it should be part of the coaches plans to emphasise how each player should do there own personal game reviews whether winning or losing
Freeze the video at every mistake (plenty of stoppages against the Roosters) Make the player/players involved stand up and look at their team mates and explain wtf they were thinking!!
Honesty sessions have to make you feel guilty, embarrassed, ashamed!! But i think these days it will be all back pats and encouragement words and no one will grasp how serious this problem is.
As supporters we are extremely proud of never having the spoon. This team (apart from a handful of players) don’t give a rats about 1st, 8th or last. The reason is there is NO ONE left anywhere in the squad (players or coaches) that understands anything about our past achievements and how hard you have to work in the Sea Eagles jersey to be a winner. There are plenty out there that want to see us fail and that was the motivation that Manly used to be the best. Shoe string budgets etc doesn’t cut it because Des (not saying he is the answer) probably had less resources than what the team has now but found how to get the most out of the players. That when that jersey goes on you represent everything the club, past and present, represents and that when the going gets tough you dig deeper and smile the widest when you get to rub it into everyone outside the club.
What we are witnessing is just a hollow shell of what this club is all about. Injuries, salary cap, media etc are reasons that a team may not be performing at their potential. But you can not excuse pi$$ poor effort that was dished up on Sunday. That was humiliating considering the occasion.
Fans appreciate effort, even if you lose. Fans can’t cop no effort resulting in a heavy loss. Finals football was off the cards but the season isn’t done yet. Seems like the players are though.
