Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 2926204, member: 2065"] From my perspective, there is a distinct attitudinal issue, that is a coaching and leadership issue. There is also a distinct application issue. That is a coaching and leadership issue. The players do not look happy or united. Our roster management and recruiting in terms of who we have bought and let go have been particularly poor. The 1990-2000 Wayne Bennett is a very different coach to the 2018 coach. The earlier version was willing to call time a player even sometimes a year or 2 early (Gillmeister, Lewis) and had the ability to bring in just the type of player we needed to bring success (think Gillmeister again, Glen Lazarus, Kevin Walters, Tallis). The 2018 version has Sammy in the side and says that he will not be dropped (despite his lack of form). He has brought in players that we would not have signed in the past and allowed better players to go elsewhere. It is also concerning to me that players that have left here are now playing much better than what they have shown here. Unless there is a marked change in approach and attitude, we look likely to lose 4 or more out of the next six games and that will be very difficult to come back from. If WB can get this squad anywhere near the GF this year, he is a super coach. I just don't see it happening. [/QUOTE]
