Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3242758, member: 1847"] Agree, with the proviso that I don't think the players are dumb stupid, rather, they are the result of being neglected through poor coaching strategies since at least 2016, together with dreadful roster management, where a bunch of young players have largely been left on their own to figure things out. Leadership and mentoring by experienced players just hasn't happened for years. Since Hodges and Parker retired, who has replaced that experience and leadership? Planning for Darius to be the One .. well, we know how that worked out. Getting rid of Macca at a time we needed stability, not a good idea. I think that most of our team simply haven't been taught what to do and how to do it, at the most basic level necessary to be competitive with the best at NRL standards, particularly given how the new rules have changed the focus of the game. We haven't adapted largely in my view because they don't know how because they were never given the tools to get there through quality roster management and equally, quality coaching. I think Walters is realizing this as well as the enormity of the task in front of him - basically, to train a bunch of juniors from scratch. Long long road ahead. [/QUOTE]
