Specialist Defensive Coach : Sun Jun 07, 2009 11:43 am  

Would this be a good idea to help TM get our defence to what it needs to be?

Let's get a kicking coach in as well in that case. The amount of conversions Dixon has missed is shocking.

Yet he's the highest British point scorer in the comp ...

We should have a substitute coach. Someone who knows when to make them, who to take off and and who to replace them with. We were OK yesterday for 10 minutes until we started making changes.

Im not gona have a go at dicko yeah hes not best kicker in comp but he has had some hard kicks from sideline cos of were we score our tries.

Dont get me wrong he has missed a few sitters but that happens to everyone

I would be more concerned with defence if we didnt ship as many points the missed conversions wouldnt mean as much.

We defenitaly need help in the defensive side of our game, TM for sure is a good attacking coach, but he needs to drill some composure into our game and needs help with the defence.
Dicko needs to be given credit IMO nearly every try weve scored this year as been on the touchline but still he's 4th best kicker in the SL and the highest point scorer in SL overall. The only thing that worries me are his pressure kicks, but you cant teach that anyway

We need a defensive coach?

TM is a good attacking coach?

With the exception of the 3 games prior to this debacle, our defense has been shite--that is the responsibility of the coach we have, if he can't get that right then he should not be in the job.

This season we have had plenty of possession in the right area of the field and enough chances to put teams away. Our attack has let us down big time. we score lovely tries, real nice to watch, but we cannot put pressure into points. This is a trademark of TM. 2006 was a great example. Loads of pressure, a great pack and not enough points to show for it

As for Kirk, he has been outstanding this year, we cannot score a try near the posts, we don't have the game plan to do it, so the resulting conversions are often from out wide-percentages are misleading

It would help Dixon if you got your posts straightened out at the away end

We need a general play kicking coach

The amount of times we have kicked out on the full on our own pitch is ridiculous. And then when we're meant to kick it out on the full, we can't!!

It really is an embarrasment and something that should never happen on your own pitch

We need everything even straighter posts.
