Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2733155, member: 1847"] I loved the first 15 mins or so. The attack in particular, the ball movement, was excellent, really terrific in fact. What struck me later though was that when the Panthers decided to play hard and fast and in our face, there seemed to be a real lack of leadership in the middle, nobody marshalling the troops, keeping it tight and strong and together. Even Parker admitted that in the presser. I'm not sure Parker is the man for captain. We need a leader. I hope Parker really steps up in the role asap. For mine, one key factor in the way we lost was the lack of strong leadership when we needed it most. We showed early on that we had everything we needed to put 20+ points on the Panthers and then it just fell apart. Also, it's one thing for Bennett to blame the team's mental attitude, it's another to contribute to the decline by not playing Offa and again, a team's attitude on field is in large part a function of strong leadership when things get tough. Bennett blaming the team's attitude is a bit rich for mine [/QUOTE]
