Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3179840, member: 1899"] Sure there's a few players that should have a look at themselves but even in the case of somebody like Te'o he would never have been a part of this season if it wasn't for Covid. He hasn't played Rugby League in 6 years, didn't do a pre-season, wasn't even able to train with the team until he signed and of course he was thrown straight into it. I actually don't think it's fair to lump him in with the Pangai Jrs. Same with Fifita and Croft. I'm not even sold on Milford although I can see why. I believe he was playing to a system where he was playing off of Croft and Croft simply wasn't able to be the Mitchell Pearce/Nathan Cleary/Daly Cherry-Evans of the team. The way I see it, we've had these young guys like Carrigan, Haas, Dearden, Paix, Farnworth, Staggs, Flegler, Bullemor, Riki, Coates etc rock up week in and week out give an honest assessment and they're just run over the top of because they're not ready for the slog of 20 weeks of football. After the start they had, they found themselves in a massive hole and it was impossible to dig out of it because they didn't even have a coach there who could show them the way. There was always going to be one team that found themselves in this position during Covid. A team that just got caught up in the grind of it all and were just caught up in the process of week in and week out floggings and that just happened to be the team with the worst injury toll, the worst draw and the least established structures in the competition.
