[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 954808, member: 73144"] Totally agree in theory. But that’s a cultural shift that happens over years, not over a few weeks in camp. This side can look world beaters when things are going their way and look totally helpless when they’re not, often in the course of the same game. And let’s not forget that this isn’t a proven all conquering team looking to add that extra 2% gloss. Totally a work in progress whose last 2 6Ns and overseas tour weren’t exactly blinding. The AIs were OK, but those were at HQ and even then we blew a great chance to down a non vintage ABs. Getting from there to multi faceted and “great” will take time. Again, I like the principle, but that comes with the big caveat that we can flick seamlessly between styles. Unless the players are familiar with doing that, and some of them barely know each other’s Christian names, then that carries risk. I’d love to see us be adaptable and have answers for all questions, that’s what we should ultimately be aiming for. But I hear too many inconsistencies coming from Jones, I just hope he’s delivering more clarity behind closed doors. I remain sceptical, but really hope I have a huge helping of humble pie coming my way. [/QUOTE]
