Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3027160, member: 1847"] It's not just a simple, blanket statement that "[B]we[/B] cant even do the simple things any half decent side does." It's much more than that. It's that certain key players regularly **** up on the simple things often enough - Robert's shithouse, couldn't-be-bothered tackling effort being a key example for that crucial try on half time, Boyd's 2 pathetic efforts along with one by TPJ earlier on, bungled scoring opportunities ... and that, that knocks the stuffing out of team morale and confidence. So the energy, confidence and commitment falls off even a fraction, and that, against a side as good as Souths is fatal. For mine, 2 crucial elements of successful team play that need work are first, cut the serial poor performers and Roberts and Boyd are 2 examples, or at least give them a final ultimatum, and second, work on building resilience and mental toughness in our young roster in particular, which I admit, is where Bennett was very good. Seibold has his work cut out however at least he acknowledged in his presser that certain individual performances need work. When it comes to Boyd, I am starting to believe he has an over the top sense of entitlement that he is somehow special. He isn't, other than he is special to the performance of the team and he needs to lift or get cut. I was also amused by Bellamy's presser where he came right out and said that certain Storm players need to lift or he will bring in replacements. At least we flogged the Sharks [/QUOTE]
