The whole team is way out of form and disinterested. Its hard and harsh to point at players. Hey, we have the best centre in the world, and even he is dropping balls and throwing intercepts.
I think Tooves needs to change his game plan. Des stays ahead of the competition by doing that. Toovey hasnt changed our style since Des has left, and in big games, weve become predictable, soft and easy to play against.
Hiku is a talent. We have the quality. My view is that injuries have caught up with us, Toovey has lost the playing group somewhat, and the destabilizing factors have become just that.
What can we do about that? Nothing really. Its just not our year, simple as that. Support the club, see it for what it is.
Toovey will go 3 wins, 7 losses in big games since being here. He needs to change things up. Hanging off Des coat tails year after year isn't and wont work. He needs to think up something different and unique.
Perry, Warwick need to do what they are paid to do, and fix the off field debacle, and roster (we need players who want to be here, play for the club, the fans, and passionately so).
Im not having a go at Watmough, Matai, Foran. They feel what they feel, and no one can do anything about that.
I just wish I supported a team like we had only 12 months ago, where every individual left everything they had on the field. I never used to see Foran with soft defence, but again, hes not the only one playing under par.
What im saying, is there so much more to fix than a very poor Taufua, and a down on form Hiku.
There needs to be a complete cultural and attitude improvement / adjustment...and that comes from Perry, Singe, Toovey, The dysfunctional board - everyone to the players.
