Message: [QUOTE="NSW stables, post: 3040175, member: 10150"] Like many, i am actually impressed with these actions. One of my criticisms under bennett was the kiddy gloves he often used with players. I think this may have contributed to the inconsistency in recent times. Our team did not have the mental fortitude/toughness when times were tough i.e. closing close games, coping after mistakes or working our way back into matches. Seibs approach has shown that whether you are the incumbent NSW centre, new teenage sensation etc , all players are treated equally and expected to put in the effort and meet club expectations. In theory, this will hopefully contribute to commited and mentally stronger players. If players are not willing to buy into this approach, are these the type of players we need in our team? Look at the consistently performing clubs across the recent years (i.e melbourne, roosters) they have tough uncomprimising coaches. I.e. Robinson dropped mitchell early one year but he put in the effort to work his way into the side and is now arguably the form centre of the comp, bellamy tears players to shreds but they are tougher for it. This is just my opinion anyway. [/QUOTE]
