Teague emphasised this point quite a few times.You can tell Teague is over weak non aggressive performers who want to play pretty boy football only but wont get their hands dirty and wants more mongrel in the backline.
Think he is getting the message that 22 Von Trapp kids wont get it done and we need some players who will bleed for the jumper.
Good luck to the kid and hope we have found a diamond in the rough.

Mate he is responsible for the Von Trapp kids non agressive performance. He's had a whole pre season to drum aggressiveness into them and they dish up that v the Filth? And on the Thurs before the next game, he is still hammering them about training with intent? His message aint getting through it seems.

Thought the same thing, GTC.
How come this is a focus ...NOW! Why are we STILL so damn reactive? Is there anyone in the place with vision, initiative and foresight - in other words, prepare the side to be a ruthless team before the season starts. Ah, yes, ruthless... we talk it better than anyone, but do the players know what it REALLY means to be ruthless? The sacrifices? The mongrel persistence? The uncompromising attitude to take into every single contest? The powerful standards to uphold as if it were your life depended on it? Sheesh... well, better late than never, and, as ever, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating over an extended period. But, it does start with this Sunday. Here's hoping. I'll be watching with a near exhausted optimism.

Coach and leadership set the example on and off the field. Cripps and Docherty are both struggling, we really don't have an on field catalyst to initiate more mongrel and aggression when required.
I'm watching Nth v dogs and same deal no leadership, Cunnington is cooked and Zeibell is at half rat power, they just cannot get anyone to steady the ship or fire them up.

Our on field leaders have been on a spectrum from average to poor for ages. Starting with Kouta, Lappin, Whitnall etc. undermining Pagan. Remember the Ratten wristbands, "harden the f*&k up" ? Remember the tackling to hurt at training ? Remember Bolton getting the players to jostle and harass Ablett Jr in one of the GC games ? None of it seems to stick.

Is it actually possible to change the nature of the beast. The old adage was "if you want people to change, you gotta change the people". Can this be true??

"On your feet or on your knees" ... Blue Oyster Cult 1975.
Seems some of ours prefer "Born to be mild"
