I understand that. But we can't allow a man free to play in front of him constantly.

We need to make them accountable. We have an extra somewhere else, and that extra needs to get into a position to be damaging.

You need a 2nd KPF that is capable and dangerous then Moore wont get double teamed as he is the 2nd option not 1st.

It is one of many reasons why Reid needs to go fwd.
 
I feel for him at the moment. I think he now feels the weight of expectation and it's playing on him.

He doesn't fly for it like he did just a season or so ago, and he seems to be lacking a lot of confidence. No idea how to his groove back, but we need to give something else a crack down forward. White doesn't provide enough support.

It also seems like most players are playing an extra in front of him. He was double teamed quite a bit yesterday, but I have no idea where our extra was. I can only assume it was the midfield. Surely in that situation we just need to man up their extra?
Confidence, or lack there of, is the curse that strikes our players with regular monotony at ever decreasing cycles. Moore is grossly out of confidence and is stuck in analysis paralysis. He needs to rid himself of "structure" and just play. Our club needs to release the shackles and just play. We have some sublimely talented mid sized forwards that can win one on one contests (a hell of lot more than they lose) so how about we always have equal numbers forward of the ball even if that predicates a 7 man forward line. I actually believe that our back are capable of winning and halving one on one contests also and do not require a floating spare to "chop out". The onus then is put on a midfield to defend as well as attack rather than expecting the plus 1 around the contest to help out. I sense that there is an underlying lack of belief from the coaches in the players and this is leading to the players (who are relatively young and inexperienced) doubting themselves. It is the role of the coaching staff to change the current dynamic to allow confidence to grow. Show faith in the players individual strengths and create a game style that gives them a chance. Don't be so fixated on what you think works. CHANGE for gods sake.

I'm no vegan, but what century are you living in? Might want to double check that one, a vegan diet for athletes blows everything else away.
Yep turned Peter Siddle from a front line test match bowler averaging high 130's-low 140's km/h to a trundler bowling high 120's to low 130's km/h for Victoria in the Pura Cup.

Lol, you have NFI. There are morons out there who try and promote that crap but they get shot down in about 5 minutes. I think you are confused with the 'cave man' diet. Cave men eat lean meat. Not Vegans.

Lol what? If a vegan diet was best then every top athlete would be a vegan. Unfortunately Vegan diets exclude so many vital food groups it is anything but optimal.
 
He has been worked out, deny him a run at the ball and he has nothing. Can't mark on the lead, can' hold his ground in the packs as he is too light.

Seems like he has lost bulk since he arrived, needs to start bulking up and get his head out of his arse, he is not as good as he thinks he is.

Glad you know Moore Personally:rolleyes:

Spot On. He can win a Wrestle so we need to keep the Forward Line Open for Him

Why? What is Wrong being a Vegan?

The more food groups you exclude, the less room for error you have top meet your nutrient requirements. Veganism is just about the most restrictive diet there is. It's hard enough for average joes to follow a vegan diet and meet all their nutrient requirements without supplementation (in fact, some nutrients are ONLY found in animal foods, so they do have to supplement). Keep in mind athletes' nutrients needs are much much higher than the average joe ... and yeah, unless Moore is working with someone who knows what they're doing he's asking for trouble.

Following a vegan diet and trying to achieve optimal performance is like trying to win a game by kicking behinds only. Sure you can do it ... but why not just kick a goal instead?

Nutrition won't make an average athlete great, but it can make a great athlete average.

Edit. Also just about every single nutrient is in a less absorbable form in plants vs. animal foods.

IF it was so bad then why would the Club allow this and I dare say they have ideas of getting what he needs into him

Which is why I hope the club / Moore knows what they're doing.

Edit. Also I doubt they can force him to eat / not eat things haha

There not much room in our forward line, we press to high and don't play on quickly enough, which gives to the opposition time to get back.
To many of our small and mid size forwards fly and spoil darcy, instead of staying down and get the ground ball.
They have get it in to our wards with pace, but then they have to convert it to
