I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm starting to lose faith in Bellyache due to his reluctance in changing the team, or even blood some young players. Is he running out of ideas? Has his coaching style become old and stale?
I tend to agree, he has always had the same gameplan, he knows the lads will acore between 12-30 points every game so his whole game plan revolves around holding the other teams to less than 12. Problem is if we open up early afew times like we did tonight there is no plan B. the boys look lost and even when down by 8 with 3 minites to go you saw cronk still just kick long defensively as if we were ahead bu 8, not trailing. All these games weve lost lately if we had of won them all with the same attack on display and points scored no one would notice or care coz we are winning, we have won plenty of games scoring 18 points or less. I really wish bellamy would put some emphasis on attack, and changes are needed because other teams are figuring us out. Also our edges are a joke, the sooner duff and ferrari are back the better.

Is this thread some sort of a joke?
Its funny with our attack. It was clear to everyone Bellamy changed his philosophy somewhat. We were playing smart but attacking football. And 90% of time it would come off. Now its about 25%.
With the not blooding players. I agree. How can we expect to win games when Billy is injured and we have Kostjasyn as our 2nd playmaker ? You wanna know why Coops has been off ? Its because he is trying to do to much because Craig can't get it through his head how much this team relies on our big 3. And then he names the same 3 players everyweek to do the same job. Kosy,Hincy,Lowrie are the same player yet we pick all 3 every week.
During origin it is the perfect time to blood some younger players so they can gain experience if called upon. Look at Brisbane. 14 of their 17 players this week have played Toyota Cup. Remarkable.
We have some young players coming up who'd we all think will be our core pieces in a few years. But aren't getting a crack because of Craig.
We have just lost our 5th game in a row. And losing sucks but if we played our young guys and lost 5 in a row would I be as upset as I am now naming these older players ? No I wouldn't.
Youth might be the thing we need. Bring excitement to the Purple jersey. Bring players in who look like they wanna be there.

Every year Craig gets new players to kit up and warm up for matches, but they are not going to play. I remember him doing it with G.I Tolman, Widdop and he has even done this year with Hampton. No disrepect Sallymay, but Mahe must have known he was not going to paly a while before 10 minutes to go, because the team sheets are given to the game officals an hour before kick off and his name was not on it. They only way the can change a team sheet is if a player gets injuried during the warm up and then you have to ask for permission to use another player.

I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH THIS TOPIC.
SHOULD BE DELETED

Cos it is A LOAD OF CRAP..AND I am allowed to voice my opinion.
Here is the problem Stormy, these things can happen quickly.
Athletes get old over night and coaches either lose their team or lose their way.
Before this year and despite injuries and numerous players being involved with SOR Craig had never lost three in a row, now he has lost five.
He is a stubborn man which can be a good thing but right now it is hurting us.
Do not forget the way we faltered down the stretch last year and now we are doing it again.
Perhaps a change is needed, it has been ten seasons.
The same voice, the same style.
Maybe we will come out of this next weekend or maybe this is just the end of the CB era at the Storm.
