I think some people are forgetting that we did actually make the playoffs last year and that the team finished strongly last season to get us there. The core of that team was retained for this season and so I don’t think going 6-2 was such a huge surprise even though we had a new HC.

I think that what is really worrying is that although Zorn changed to a WC passing system it’s the running game which has been kept pretty much the same and an unchanged Defence has carried the team this season.

So the only part of the team that the HC has had an effect on i.e. the passing game has not performed and is in fact getting worse. And it now seems that other teams have caught on to what we have been doing on 1st and 3rd this season and our Coaches don’t seem to be able to change or have a plan B. I think this season is in danger of falling off a cliff and if we did finish 7-9 i think that would be a bad performance for this team.
