Are you mad? This is a team (supposedly) travel there as a team, win/lose as a team, travel home as a team. No wonder there’s no respect for the coaching staff. This bloke has done absolutely nothing at all on the pitch yet his afforded luxuries others can only dream of. I have it on good authority the experienced more seasoned players get basically a free rein and never come under scrutiny in video sessions etc. the younger and so called lesser players are vilifies at every opportunity. What a great coaching method to demand respect and encourage galvanising the squad. A typical example this year Eddie Battye made one defensive error and was an absolutely hammered for it and dropped. During the same game our esteemed superstar made the exact same error 7 times in the game and not a word was said and he retained his place. Seems Atoni only never plays when he’s injured yet Eseh struggled to buy a starting spot early in the season. Take your blinkers off and wake up to the real (sporting) world. This is not how a club should be run. This is just a bunch of blokes together on a field it isn’t a team and whilever we continue with current coach that will never change. Far too much out of his depth and has lost all his credibility - not just because of the results but because of the things stated above and more.
So I don't know how to break this to you given my pedantic posts do tend to wind people up but I don't get why people post things that aren't true. We have so many things actually wrong you'd think it would be easy to find one.
But your post refers to 'esteemed star' and I'm not sure which you mean. I assume Atoni.
But you say he missed 7 tackles in a game when Battye only missed one.
In all the games Battye played this season (11) he has never not missed a tackle and only missed 1 in 3 games. Total of 24 missed tackles in 11 games at a success rate of 91.4%
Atoni by comparison has only missed 8 tackles all season. Success rate 96.1%. Going 4 games without missing a tackle.
Battye has made 256 tackles in 11 games. Atoni 251 in 10 games.
So I don't like Atoni's attack by a long way. But your post about comparing to Battye is not correct. According to the Super League stats.
