Quote: Captain Hook "Back to the topic… My big concern is that we are yet again seeing a lack of confidence in our players, reflected in poor decision making, dropped balls etc etc. Last season this was put down to the number of players at the end of their contract. The coach now has a team largely made up of players he wanted and we are seeing the same problem. I also look at the form of eg Josh Charnley who looked a broken man when with us, totally lacking in self confidence (indeed I criticised him for lacking the faith to back himself on many occasions) who now looks like the player we signed'"
Charnley made a comment in the week that Tomkins persuaded him not to quit the game at the end of last season, such was his disillusionment with how things went at Wires.
That for me is pretty damning when you now look at his form.
Mulhearn is another one who looked like 1982 Bruche U16s when he was here and now looks like 1982 Kangaroos.
