Is it me or have we just become a team of players who are just prolonging their careers from other clubs and/or players who just follow the arrows on RL's whiteboard? Are we tactically efficient but spiritually and emotionally detached ? Where is the customary hardness that a former coach [who shall remain nameless] imbued upon his team. Call me old fashioned but I really miss the playing from the heart..... especially against the 'filth' for which we seemed to pin our whole year.
Lets just see the year through , hey ????

I'd say the reason behind this is that our coach doesn't bleed red, white and black like certain former coaches have...

i agree in part the former (nameless soul) was passionate but that also was the down fall i remember selection wasnt based on form but more on heart leading to players being picked for Big games with big ? on their fitness/form.
honestly do you need the coach of the club to deep down love the club to be successful ? or is a healthy respect of the club enuff to get the job done ? i can think of a few coaches who i could fairly safely say bleed their clubs colours all the way to the core
Johny "honest" Worsfold
Paul Roos
Dean Laidley
the rest may feel a strong attachment to their clubs like
Leigh Mathews
Mark Thompson
Mark Williams
Neil Craig
the rest i thnk dont really have the "LOVE" for the club more a respect

We've got more recycles in this team than an annual garage sale. Lets look to the future and bring on the youth brigade.
We're treadin water with a lot of these guys lets face it.
Which of RL's pick ups have given the best value by the way ?

I would say Michael Gardiner is probably the pick of them at this time.
I agree, enough players from other clubs. C oncentrate on the young at the next draft/trade season.

And I ask you all one other question; what exactly did these recycled players cost us? most have had some injury issues lately but are, I would think capable of playing plenty of footy for us.saintsrokk wrote:?Which of RL's pick ups have given the best value by the way ?"

With the exception of both Gardi & King (who are older but are just what we required when you remember that we are supposedly doing this year for Harv's), most of these blokes are NOT just here to prolong their careers, they will bleed for the club if we give them the chance

Would love to know why we dont have that 'heart' when we play these days. The one thing that seems to be sorely missing from this team at the moment is the fact that they don't seem to play for one another, there is a lack of protecting the ball carrier and a serious lack of wanting to take risks.
Something has to give surely? Do we need to get motivational speakers in? Did the club do the same process that the doggies did early this year? If not then get them in NOW!!!!

Don't dwell on the past.
Look to the future.

Fair point. I seriously cant think of any player brought to this 'ready made' team that has brought anything of 'serious' value. Someone mentioned 'Gardener'........... but tell me when was the last game he dominated in ? And whilst on ruckman...are we the 'ruckmans reject' shop or what ? Have we really changed direction here since Capuano was given the golden slipper ???
Its alright to say they are paid penuts but we all know the ol saying. If you pay peanuts you get monkeys. Thought we'd moved off the save money philosophy this year !
