Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

Murray is not adapting to the new system at all.

He's had 30 minutes off the bench under the new system. What sort of madness is this?

As for Carbery, dropping him is a flawed idea because Healy is absolutely shite.

Can’t make that assumption so early in season …….some heap here have no patience …change isn’t going to happen overnight ….most likely be well into this season and into next before we see anything decent from what new management want

Need to see the "plan" starting to come together by December/January, that's plenty of time for a squad to start changing the way they've played Iver the last few years. I think the young lads will be key to this, all of them looked good today.

To be fair to Rowntree, he has shown some inclination to back young lads so far.

Tho it’s very early days, so perhaps too soon to read too much into selections (especially with the emerging Ireland tour) but I think Zebo and Liam Coombes were both available 2nite for example?

While I kinda agree with the sentiment it just seems like more rebuilding. Something that’s been going on since 2008. We need to be much better and I don’t see any improvement since the end of last season.

Please! Stop making sense! It's not appropriate 😕.

Tactics and game plan are irrelevant when you have players making so many mistakes both unforced and under some pressure.

If there is a halving in the number of mistakes next week and the week after from last nights “performance” then it might not be enough to win, and it certainly wont be enough against Ulster and Dublin.

Lineouts need to be thrown straight, handling needs to improve. Tackles need to be made.

I doubt Archer makes it to 300! One of the young lads will get minutes this year and take the jersey off him. At best Archer will be a sub. His contract is a one year deal. I think. It would be crazy if Munster can't produce or sign someone else.

I think Salanoa could be the next in line with Knox subbing.

Against Zebre...JGP does it at test level and would look just as slick as Casey does against the 2nd worst team in the URC

(I'm a huge Casey fan btw and I think he's been one of Munster's best performers so far, but chill)

The season hasnt really kicked off. Carbery like many others wmay take time to find form.

What if anything are you basing Crowley being the best 10 on?

I don't think Munster could afford to cut Archer and Ryan at the same time.

Not sure why Ryan went ahead of Archer but perhaps Archer was considered a better mentor for the young lads or was playing at a higher standard.

Joeys efforts at tackling the last night were rob kearney like. I counted three times in his sub appearance that he was way off.

He brought some impetus into the game when he came on, but for all of his influence it never appeared on the scoreboard.
