Yep. You know, I keep banging on about just wanting to see improvements and forward progress. I think I should add the condition that only winning 2 games this series is not really what I have in mind....!
Let us recall too that in these June internationals, virtually the only distinguished elements of any of the 6 games (that lasted more than a lone burst of 5 minutes) were: back line play Perth, defence Perth.
I know I may be condemned in some quarters for saying this, but I think that given the above very lean delivered outcomes and today's selections and other recent odd statements from Deans, it's likely that Deans has lost, or is fast losing, self-confidence in his ability to create a team of Wallabies that has the right winning mindset, and then to guide that team to consistent wins. I wish it were not so, but I really do think he is struggling, and we see this on the field, it's not just a case of 'blame the players and injuries'.
