Players are reluctant to buy in with full effort like early last season it looks like and falling on old habits.

Yeah and in total fairness I didn't get to watch all the game because Shaw blows. Feel like I know exactly what went on still haha.
But basically I'm not so sure about that. Sometimes it works I suppose, yes. But really if the game is boring as hell to watch, it's probably boring as hell to play, and to me that's a system thing.
Hartley's system was fun to watch, but defensively was a disaster. Still this one seems like a disaster defensively albeit slightly less of one, but now there's like zero offense.
