I've never been a big fan of blaming losses on "attitude" like Kevvie did this week. Does it mean not trying hard enough? As in throwing a blanket over the whole team and calling them lazy? Really?
If the team has an "attitude problem" is that their collective fault or is "attitude" something the coach is meant to manage? I don't buy into it.
For starters, he selected Haas, Carrigan, Flegler and Walsh backing up from Origin. You can't expect to get 100% from players backing up from Origin. But all four looked like they were busting their guts. Flegler looked pissed off when he was pinged, and then combined with Carrigan to score a try. Walsh, most are saying was "trying too hard." It's true his attitude needs adjustment, for being too cocky though, not lazy.
Cobbo looked injured and shouldn't have been selected. Is that the wrong attitude? Or is it on the selector?
Can anyone name the players who looked like they had the "wrong attitude?"
I will say I think we missed Kurt Capewell, and maybe that's why everyone is shitting on Herbie today. He does more on that edge than he's given credit for.
