In Saturday's post-match interview with ABC radio, Schif seemed extraordinarily lackadaisical about blowing a 26 point lead, saying that there were "a lot of positives" to take from the Sharks match. When it was suggested that there was "a lot of work to do" till the next match, he seemed nonplussed.
Last week the departing players seemed to be acting like their season was already over. And in Friday's Canberra Times, Queensland Reds coach Eddie Jones, discussing the (ridiculous) possibility that Schifcofske might play in Rugby's Australian Provincial Championship, said "when [the Raiders] get knocked out, we'll have a chat."
Well, who's to say they will be?
How can Clinton be satisfied with that performance? Are all the departing players so focussed on greener pastures that they've forgotten that they still have a chance to win <i>this year's grand final</i>?
The way they are talking and playing, are they ready for finals footy? I don't think so. Someone needs to turn their heads around, quick smart.
