Just getting in early should Ernie again be playing Hoff at the point of our attack.
Some questions have to be asked of his performance
Bizarre selections
Players out of position
Failure to change the starting side
Recruitment
Not going so well
In addition unless Ernie starts reflecting on his own performance he runs the real risk of losing half the dressing room. We have a few key blokes busting there ass week after week putting in satisfactory efforts only to be let down by the coach.
How long til that starts reflecting in there efforts on the park.
Ernie came over with the players after the game to shake the fans hands.
Plague jnr told him "dont worry ernie we'll start winning soon".
Ernie looked like he was ready to kill the little smart ass
Last 20 mins it looked like Vargas had had a gutful and dropped back into a #6 role to try and get things going.
Not sure if it was ernie's instruction though because Vargas was pointing Cowburn and Ridenton away from him as if to say 'go away I'm playing here'.
Vargas stood away from all of them post game for a few good minutes.
Just watched the post match presser - Ernie very disappointed with the effort of players more so than the result. No arguments here - the players looked like they didn't want to be out there .
I wouldn't worry abut Ernie losing the dressing room - they can sack the lot of them based in that sort of effort.
Hard to imagine Vargas wanting to hang around - he looked more pissed off than Ernie did with the team. The service tonight was terrible.
That was exactly my point. At some stage the goers were going to start having a gutful of sharing the field with only those that Ernie rates. I reckon Ernie having Ronnie at 9 tonight had a massive negative influence on the players. I also reckon some players must be asking themselves WTF in re Jackson being picked each week.
All these numptie decisions Ernie has made since the very first round have just chipped away at some of the players minds.
