Desire or the lack of : Sat Apr 26, 2014 3:52 pm  

We can pick out individual players as people have on other threads but it simply comes down to a lack of desire in my opinion!

Collectively as a team we are not showing anywhere near enough of it and in fact we look completely lacklustre.

Why?

I think the coaching staff have something to answer for in this regard

A general lack of mental and physical toughness. Some players are more to blame than others but at the end of the day you win and lose as a team.

Agree with this, I've been saying it for weeks. Wane gets his side frothing at the mouth, Leeds are always pumped up as well. We look shocked, much like the first victims in a zombie movie do, unable to believe these savages are attacking worth such ferocity. Coaches are to blame, the players are not sufficiently motivated. Senior players also need to have a think about how they approach the game and we need to find a captain. It's as important now as our need for props and half backs was last season.

This team is talented enough but is massively lacking in the mental aspects of the game.

We still need at least 1 more prop and 1 more halfback

I've been saying this before a ball was kicked but as per usual I got people sayin we got Mose, Amor, Lms, walmsley and the kids. Like I said, only one grafter there that will but his body on the line.

The halfback is a no Brainer.

If or when Walsh is playing the next game I would be tempted to put Lomax at standoff with him to learn more half back play.
Defensively Lance could be selected to the full back roll as he can read the game better and is more experienced.
The whole deck of cards is falling down because of our defence, the last 4 weeks Turner, Lomax and Jones have struggled with one on one tackles. Our line speed is atrocious but whats frustrating is that its an easy fix, but for some reason they don't want to know.
Brown seems to be too laid back and it appears to rubbing off onto the players.
