I have been so confused why we are so consistently crap I started to observe the behaviour of the players on the field, especially when we fail to defend well.
Too many of our players do not do the 1% ers. I watched Dufty avoid covering defence near our goal line for most of the game. It was disgusting to watch.
I also saw most players just content with doing their job in their bubble and not covering each other when the ball went out wider with overlaps.
When one of our players makes a break, we rarely have 4 - 5 players supporting to finish the play with a try. They just couldn't be bothered staying alert and ready to spring into action for those moments that will make all the difference, that other teams do week in week out.
You have to coach the attitude because whatever fitness, skill and talent exists, it is being flushed down the toilet by lazy selfish attitudes who just want the paycheck and think they can hide behind the poor team performance without their individual piss poor contribution being exposed.
They should watch the video replays of all tries and breaks and look at the behaviour of players around it who could have gotten involved if they half gave a fuck. They would have pages and pages of notes to expose these imposters.
