Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3337204, member: 9052"] I think we just put our faith in the wrong experienced players and didnt move them on early enough. It got to the point where the guys with 100+ first grade games weren't up to standard or weren't leaders (Knik, Offa, Roberts, Macca, etc.). I'm not putting Boyd in there, because he was good until doing his hammy in 2016/17 just before the finals series. From then on his body was broken and couldn't recover... but prior to that he was actually a player who had achieved something and had standing within the game amongst his teammates. Gillett was similar where he was an automatic origin pick, playing for Australia and nominated as best second rower in the game. These guys had credibility in the game and are players that the young guys had to look up to. Pretty much everyone else in the group had achieved nothing... the transition should've occurred years before, but when they decided to do it, it was callous and cold, like a company takeover where they put a machete through the company.... at that point the players treated them like a company/business creating a horrendous team culture and costing us ones we wanted to keep, like DFifi [/QUOTE]
