Having the opportunity in seeing the Rhinos during a few pre-season camps, there was a change noticed this year here in FLA. And how could there no be! 3 of the top players the team had ever had were gone. You expect a change with that.
But I can tell you that the culture Mac brings has not changed.
If you take a look and the scores they won by last year, and then the scores this season (the last game out of course), things are not that far away. I imagine it is the lower amount of playing skill/talent that has been the difference in the points differential. And you need to look at the injury list as well.
I don't things are as dire as some would have you believe.
