Players getting ahead of themselves. Last year our personnel got the job done ( 5th place is a great result ). Maybe losing wayne campbell and lepitsch had a greater effect then expected.. but honestly I think the players crawled into their shells after the Rd 1 lost to gold coast. Defensive running would be the worst in the game. No one wants to win if it means being stuffed after the game.
It's always the same people trying their hearts out to win the game ( cotch, morris, vlastuin and mcdonough yesterday, ) and the same people that are happy to coast along and accept defeat, ( grigg, houli, chaplin, ellis, vickery, hampson, the list goes on.) I feel its not too late for ellis and vickery to turn things around but the others are dead wood rotting our club. they have to learn winning games takes everything you got these days, you cant go at 75% and expect to win. Somehow the players still haven't realised this. a new coach may be the solution but I honestly think this is just tigeritis at its best, nothing dimma could have done to avoid this. RFC the coach killers.
