Ex players are useless when it comes to diagnosing down periods in their career other than cliches. Even after retirement.
Theyâre quick to diagnose success, but any failure is just âwell, dunno?â
Iâm not suprised Cook is scratching his head.
Itâs a team environment and you need excellent leadership, a sound approach, and a simplification for players about whatâs actually important.
Whatâs important for Cody is different for Damien, is different for Keaon is different for Tom. Yet when they all do their part, the team succeeds.
I donât think JD knows/has communicated what is actually important to the group.
It feels at the moment as if theyâre all focussing on a thousand things each trying to fix the issues themselves by banging their head against a wall. Which leads to frustratio.
Players show frustration differently. Trell swears in an interview and gets lazy with his limbs in-game. Cam stone faces a press conference. Cody starts focussing on areas of the play that arenât his repsonsiblilty, etc.
