The other thing that is missing now is culture. Hartley brought some presence and motivational ability with him. Established things like always earned never given. Was never shy about being vocal behind the bench.
The new staff has none of that. I see a team that has lost its identity.

Identity and culture take time to establish.
But GG is not Hartley. So people should stop wanting him to be like him.
