[QUOTE="miccloarch, post: 1098118, member: 78309"] At what point did the senior players suddenly become bad leaders? I'll admit, it's a smaller group than previous squads which tended to have obvious leaders in multiple positions but there's still a decent amount of them who have experience captaining at provincial level. Whitelock, Savea, Smith, Tuipulotu and Colesy should all do okay under a coach they believe in. Even Sam Cane I wouldn't describe as a bad leader but he needs to be dropped, he's badly out of form and in any case isn't nearly the best 7 in New Zealand. As for new blood, we've always been good at giving bolters a chance even if they're freaking 20 year old kids. But it's much easier to come into a winning setup than into a team with a lack of identity and whose confidence in their coach has all but disintegrated. [/QUOTE]
