If roughy's form was bad then how about dropping stratton if he doesn't pull his finger out? caption or not he has played worse than roughy. Hope this is a good wake up call for the seniors coz the kids are actually putting in more effort than the older blokes
IMO dropping Rough was brutal and even unprecedented. This means that a benchmark has been set and even the captain is not safe. Older players who aren't performing might feel that they are under siege and for good reason. Rough and Burgoyne might be in their final year but they could be joined by others if players don't pull up their socks. Another opinion I had at the end of last year was that the team is now in a new era and a new leadership was required to give the team a new identity, so to speak. This is my view for the way forward, finding a new driving force for the team and players to take ownership of performances and a new leadership to refresh the team. It is not based on specific individuals which sadly, is how many people approach these matters.
