Are these two things really something that we can fix with the right players with the right mentality?
And that's where I think our frustration with guys like Richards areMclean are central. They should, especially Mclean be ready to be consistent performers, and to a lesser extent Lipinski.
If those 3 were able to be more influential and consistent in their play, we'd be much more likely for our game plan to prevail.
Mclean should be our Lachie Neale. Richards should be our gamebreaking winger. Lipinski should be another key distributor. More often than not Lipinski just offloads a hot potato handpass putting the next bloke under extreme pressure. And all 3 just dont exert enough movement off ball or apply enough pressure.
Can they do it? Will they get there. Time is definitely running out for Mclean thats for sure.
