They've been singled out by many, and, yes, they made critical errors but they should not carry the burden of the loss. Beating themselves up, or taking to heart criticisms will serve no useful purpose. They're a coupla quality young men who made strong contributions through the year to us being in the 8... that's what's important now, and everyone learning from mistakes, then acknowledging how much was done right and will be improved upon in 2023.
We have been the standout club this year for choking in either the last half or last quarter of matches. I am sure Voss was aware of it from the first occurrence yet he has been unable to stop it and hence our inability to stay in the eight.
With that in mind, I am not as confident that everyone will learn from their mistakes. I worry that it may have become a mental issue with this list that plays on their minds and produces an ingrained response to stress, namely, choking.
