For me Hodge and Scott should have had a taxi last night. Backline is useless yet the same players play week in week out. Rasolea must be really fed up.
Dodson should have called the Warriors and offered Murray the gig and got Munro back as forwards coach with immediate effect with instruction to get rid of ANY player who is not putting their all into things.
3198 who are you trying to kid!!!

The point they were making is if you are dropping passes in training then you are not going to be able to do it properly in games. They were being critical of the players, saying the senior ones should not be accepting the attitude that it's ok not to really try that hard in training/warm up. Personally I think the coaches carry some of the blame for that attitude, but the pundits were laying the blame firmly with the players.
Interestingly, Peter Wright said he knew that some players who thought they were getting contracts for next year have now been told they aren't; I wonder if some of the coaches have been told the same. From the comments Dodson made recently in the press, it does sound as if his patience with what has been going on at Edinburgh has run out. Perhaps a more major shake up than expected is about to take place.

Edit - hrm, I thought this was the squad thread, hey ho

Someone like Tatafu Polota-Nau would do harm at all though...

The Force are the second placed team in the Aussie conference, only the Brumbies are above them in the overall standings too.
Similar with the Cheetahs in their conference, though the SKs aren't doing well.
I haven't really had time to follow Super Rugby so far this year, I'm not really up on the reasoning, but it will almost inevitably involve money in some way

When all of your teams are that jamesmatthew, as is the case with the Oz teams, then you have to take other factors into account as well.

Perhaps it's poor coaching.
