For sure. But what do you call mentally tough? And which players have it and which don't? Seemed mentally tough to win games severely under strength. I felt the bulldogs game with massive adversity we were mentally strong without getting the result. Apparently the coach built a resilient culture last season but not this season?Good questions.
Personally I think the players should be being asked these. As I mentioned previously, the potential is there, the execution isn't.
Is that a coaching issue? Is that a player mentality issue?
In answer to your last question it's obviously both. Players have to take accountability as well. But the coach has a big influence on this as well. And to be clear I'm not suggesting replacing AW
