It saddens me that we have AWs fans willing to accept this dross.
Its not as you describe. We simply aren't good enough at this level. We don't have enough players playing at a high level to compete, we don't have a good enough coach to get the best out of the players we have got, and we arte never likely to get any better quite honestly. The sooner we accept where we are in the world the better, then we can celebrate the occasional break out and stop slashing our wrists over something we have no control over.
I disagree. We can play better. We can get a better coach. Yes, we don't have a lot of quality players or depth, but we can be better than this. We played better under Emblen in his brief spell. We've had our moments under Hudson even but then we've reverted to disorganized hoofball. As others have said Ramon has shown he can set a team up to look decent and maybe snatch a result against far superior opposition.
We don't have to accept this shark.
I don't mind us losing to better sides, I just don't like the shambles we are in doing so at the moment. And it's not just about the Confeds - we have had several games where we've really struggled to break down OFC sides. We should be better than that too - our players, resources, coaching and training facilities piss all over the OFC sides, so if we are excused for losing against teams with the same adva tages over us, what's our excuse when we have all those advantages and still look garbage?
