I like to watch - Have you listened to Gagger and Timmsy interview Link? He specifically covers all of those points, why things aren't working and what they're trying to do.
For me, I thought Link sounded all of anxious, addled, unclear and had his core thinking in a mess on that podcast. I said to parties after that interview that Link sounded not on top of his job, frankly.
Just one example: his striking proposition that the Wallabies were/would be using a double playmaker axis of a 10-12 combo as some kind of innovative attacking tactic - yet have we seen any credible evidence of that in effective execution terms?
Then he's also these days listing just as many weak excuses for his team's awfulness as Deans did, and adding some. Example: that the new scrum laws are confusing and messing up all the leading teams' scrums etc - the evidence gives no support to this whilst meanwhile his scrum/set-piece coach is manifestly mishandling his responsibilities, those that he's allegedly been applying since early 2012 no less. Link - fatefully - decided to keep this second-rate specialist coach on and I said at the outset that, plus ditto with Scrivener on defence, was a serious error in Link's judgement and one that would hold many negative consequences.
Worse is something Link is now indulging in and that I bitterly disliked re Deans: public blaming or de facto patronising of Wallaby players after losses, casting all responsibility onto 'their issues' and taking no direct responsibility as leader of the Wallaby team design and fundamental skill base (and its improvement) in play. This is a sure sign of a leader handling pressure badly and weakly and will invariably corrode team morale as well. It can also be a sign of a loss of knowledge or confidence as to what to do to genuinely improve his charges.
I always said I'd not judge Link until well into the EOYTs. He needed at least until then to make core improvements to the sad state of a team and team culture he inherited after 6 full years of Deans' failed craftwork. However, I am now very concerned well before then given Link's explicit and implicit conduct to date and the zero improvement in any aspect of Wallaby play in his five Tests.
Perhaps Link's high water mark was July 2011, and the Reds gradual, relative competitive decline since then was no coincidence. I sincerely hope that mounting fear proves wrong by December 2013.
