Forgetting about Taylor for a minute….
Its time we turn the blow torch on the senior players for this shambolic club. We have had a soft boys club culture for years. Im not a Taylor fan by any means, but just changing the coach won't totally fix our problems.
We lack leaders. We lack mongrel.
Robbie has been too busy having tantrums over the years. Lawrence looked like a choir boy at that press conference tonight, this after getting whacked by 60, no emotion no passion. Woodsie just looks like a larrikin, smiling all the time on the field. Benji was a sook, crying about not being able to have lunch with certain players. Dene Halatau looks like a good bloke, but does he inspire?
How I would love to have a player, a leader like a James Graham. Just competes on every play. Gives the team a massive spray behind the posts today. Even someone like a Greg Bird or Beau Scott, just physically try and bully the other side.
We need someone to shake this joint up from its slumber. There is no accountability. My guess and its only a guess is we have the easiest pre seasons of any teams. We don't push ourselves through the torture some other stronger clubs do. We can cry about money and of course we could be right, but we also need to be accountable.
Our players shouldn't be getting a free pass for our ineptitude over the past 5 seasons. Taylor will cop most of the heat and he deserves some. He might even get sacked shortly. However there is a part of me that would rather these players go down or at least acknowledge some blame for our pitiful state of affairs.
