Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3132572, member: 1847"] Absolutely they do, and so do we loyal long term fans. However, what you said doesn't explain why the players aren't putting in after 2 rounds when they did, and possibly suggesting ways to fix that. Sacking Seibold? I don't see that as the solution yet, certainly if nothing changes over the rest of the season, then probably, along with serial under-performers. At this stage, I think Seibold is doing his absolute level best to turn things around. If it's not good enough, then the obvious question is what is he doing wrong. On that point, my biggest concern is that he has lost the dressing room. The consequences of that are dire. Do the players have a right to **** up because they don't like the coach? Equally, if Seibold's style of coaching just isn't working, then he ought to go soon. But I can't accept that as the reason of the decline from the performances in the 1st rounds when most of us, and the media were saying we were back. As for the fact that we have had a super hard draw, sure. That explains a lot, but it doesn't address the issue of why there is such a lack of resilience in the face of adversity. It doesn't explain why we should have flogged Manly after leading by so much, but then let them win the second half by what, 20 blot?If Seibs can't coach that, inspire the team like Bennett could as a rule, then he is not for us. Maybe a key issue is our total lack of leadership on the field. If Lockyer was still playing, or Hodges, I think our performances would be a whole lot better. I don't know the answer but there surely is one, and sackings or replacing players won't fix lack of urgency and effort across the team, slow play the balls, and couldn't give a **** defence, and just giving up when the going gets tough [/QUOTE]
