I have seen a very bad “mindset” overtake Johnny Morris this season.
After a loss, he will typically make a statement in the Press Conference “We haven’t had our best 17 on the park all season.”
I see this thinking as a “mirage” which has a potential negative impact.
Our best 17 is the team that runs out each week. There is not point alluding to this “best group” of 17 that hasn’t played together at the same time.
Let’s focus on who we have, not who we don’t have.
On a side note, and I know this is left field. Not once have I seen Shane Flanagan sing the Dragons team song after a win, in fact, I can’t recall even seeing him in the room with the players.
Whilst I am not linking this to his return, it is interesting none the less.
I also recall that Paul Green to the Sharks was also close to a certainty.
