Its just a matter of whether you can trust your team to wrest ascendancy from the other and be able to impose your strengths over theirs.
The question I think needs to be asked is: Is our inability to consistently control a game on our terms an execution issue or a willingness. And within that question are two more; is it a lack of willingess to execute, or a lack of capability to execute?
And from there further a question, is the lack of willingness/capability a permanent issue with our personnel or a learning process we've got to go through?
I know Mike said Richmond were more inexperienced than us, but they do have a key core of experienced heads still at top of their game.
We don't have very many of those. And its exacerbated by our 1 elite gamebreaker in Bont, for whatever reason, not being able to impose himself.
I think we've still not explicitly acknowledged we are in that awkward transition phase. Maybe that's why we've played so many debutants this year? To try and see who the next crew that are willing and capable of executing our game going forward.
