Let's not kid ourselves.
At the end of the day the rubber hits the road with the players, Benji and Shane.
The players and coaches are ultimately responsible and accountable for their on field performances.
Don't recall Cronulla or Melbourne or Manly failing to perform because of supposed management issues.
It's a lame excuse from the players if used as such.
Don't remember have the Storm or Cronullas' board sacking the other half of the board
for calling them soft either....
Then again, We might have just missed it.
