The thing for me with this, when we (albeit very rarely) broke from the “structure” and “percentage” play of Price, often late in a game when it was gone, this was pointed to be a player led style change, moving away from the instructions of the coach.
Now, it’s difficult to see whether the comeback/strong starts are player led or coach led, and when the capitulation comes, whether that is a player(s) have moved away from the brief and let down the system or whether the system itself has failed the players.
Price, to his credit, got the players playing a clear and identifiable style. I didn’t like it, didn’t agree with it as a paying fan, but it was evident. I can’t see that same following of clear instruction or clear instruction being given by this regime.
Caveat as always, bad apples, them’s the breaks, injuries, grumpy fans…

Really agree with everything here. It certainly isn't obvious what our structures are supposed to be. I'm just hoping that it is down to squad changes because I'll be suing Powell for making me look a right plonker on here if it isn't!
