Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3102950, member: 8988"] I think he gave captaincy his all. I have no doubt about that, just i have no doubt he tried as hard as could at fullback. It wasn't like some people allude to, a lack of effort. It was a self-profilling prophecy of doom with the team's failures being taken on as his own, which fed to poor personal form, which weakened the team. I've kept saying this whole team needs some sports psychology to overcome some personal demons affecting their performance. There is no coincidence that our best performing players are also our youngest. They have no chips knocked off their shoulders and the only way for them is up in their careers (in their heads). But when staggs or fiffita have a major injury that affects their form they will be expected to do the same as the senior players and pick themselves up. This is harder. Just ask Offa or TPJ or Mago. Of course we have Lodge who has gone through hell and back (self-inflicted of course) who can use that experience to overcome adversity. But he is just one player with one particular personality. Teams are filled with plenty of them. [/QUOTE]
