@cqtiger I remember feeling the same. Our backline looked very sharp but it all went to crap very quickly.
My hope is a few players really step up. If Stefano, Blore, Mikaele, Musgrove, Seyfarth go to next level our forward pack is ok.
Also if Laurie, Douehi, Maumalo improve AND Gildart, Peachey and Hastings play well then our backline is faster and more creative.
Lots if ifs here and easy to slam my post as very wishful thinking but this is our only hope for a top 8 berth this year imo
To me it was all mental attitude. A couple of things go wrong and they basically hang their collective heads, instead of trying to dig their way out of it. That needs to change and quickly. Fortunately a couple of those pee hearts have left or are leaving.
They just need to work as a team and get behind each other when things don’t go to plan. They can do it, they just need to believe they can do it.
The squad (talent) is building nicely, the mental toughness needs to build with it.

Agree 100% Mike. I also thought our attacking and defensive plans were nonexistent or poorly executed
