Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2294124, member: 1808"] The problem Huge is fans can often be blind to what is really needed and where the problem truely lies, they often look to the coach as the scapegoat when a club is in a struggling season(and I'm not saying they aren't but they aren't solely) and often can miss where the real problems lie. John Ribot summed it up great when they sacked Wally Lewis as captain when he said we wanted to end up winning premierships we weren't just about individuals we wanted to build a champion team, the majority of fans didn't take that well and were calling for both Miles and Bennett to be sacked and the King(who was well and truely past his best) to be brought back, can you honestly say that sacking Bennett would have been in the clubs best interests in the longterm? No emotion clouds fans judgement, like they did then and it's doing right now, it's fustrating right now I know, it's fustrating as hell for me as well, but if we are really to get back on our feet we need to do more then make a scapegoat of the coach, we need the players to pull their finger out of their backside and give something for their coach to work with, attitudes such as oh I won't bother to put in because I'm not in first grade will do **** all to turn it around, and it shits me when people defend that attitude. Bennett best summed it up when he was interviewed trying to point out to people that the players needed to lift at a time they were struggling when he said, I've got a team of coach killers here, they don't play to their potential, I end up getting the sack and they end up getting their contracts renewed. I'm not saying Henjak should be spared from any criticism but its hard not to see that his being made a scapegoat at a time when the players need to stand up and get behind him, because quite frankly no level of coaching will get the side out of its present situation without the players getting the basics on the field right and that starts with themselves.
