If we're attempting to buy players based on their leadership skills only, then this looks problematic to what we've been trying to establish and move away from for the past couple of years - and it perhaps highlights that there may be issues with certain personnel.
Looks like we've been filling gaps with no clear picture of what we wish to become or we're no closer to it.
I dont see much wrong with the player's abilities but more the directive they're playing under - tactical game plans - isn't working effectively or isn't modified to suit us.
Yes they're young with limited experience and there's leadership problems but there's this great big disconnect between them and without correcting this, buying a player for their leadership skills only isn't going to change this.
We just look like we can't find any rhythm as a team and all be on the same page.
I know some people dont wish to hear it but the fact some of our most influential and experienced players are unable to consistently perform to task (in our seasoned NRL players) and are most susceptible to being our poorest, that we're still not working well together, show an inability to adhere to game plans and our players look to lack awareness, this should really bring the techniques and strategies being applied to motivate the team into question.
Of course that vision exist, it goes further than that, they have actually developed the archetypes of the players they want in each position.
Thanks Garry. Know that it's the underperforming from the team which makes me question this but the cohesiveness of the team or effort isn't really improving, so it's bugging me more than it should.
I only want us to buy the most skilful, athletic and competitive players but without fixing this (getting this team to perform to their best) seems like it'll mean very little and it looks more like we're not taking the correct measures or don't have the right resources.
"I only want us to buy the most skillful, athletic and competitive players".
I've probably said too much, I'll see myself out :zipper_mouth_face:
It's the only area I can't criticise the team with. We've got the best looking squad in the comp (the player with the sexiest eyes and prettiest face)...so at least I can feel grateful for having this - some good sorts to watch ?
Apologies for derailing though folks
Edit: Cheers for previous response @TrueTiger
