Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3059429, member: 8988"] At some stage we need to question our approach to these games. Pretending its the referee's fault, or injuries, or bad recruitment just doesn't cut it because those are things we can't change now. I refuse to believe that the team of players we put out there was a bunch of players 40 points less in quality than their opposition. Sure, winning was a big ask, but that doesn't mean you should just accept getting blown away on the park. The bulldogs and others have learnt to compete against skillfully better and more advanced teams. That's what coaching is about. Its not just putting a team together and expecting it to work. The coach needs to make sure his team has the best chance possible to succeed every game. It doesn't mean you don't blood new players, but those players need to work to plan they can enact today, not in 2 years time, because more of those performances and these players will simply not be available. Either they will leave to more competitive teams, lose focus, or simply get broken down by the psychological getting thrashed does to you. We may not win these games, but we should expect the team to give a fight for it. [/QUOTE]
