Has the mindset of our coaching staff changed over the last few seasons from trying to win games to trying not to lose games.

Teams trying to win games will take more risks backing younger in form players and a more daring game plan believing that is is better to lose by 4 goals trying to win than continuing to play safe and lose by 2 goals.

Teams trying not to lose games will stay with older underpeforming players and play a more negative game style with very little risk.

Dimma has gone ultra defensive
Instead to trying to kick a winning score he’s trying to hold teams out The stand rule has destroyed teams trying that tactic

Which "younger in form players" aren't being played?

The stand rule hasn't destroyed teams trying that tactic we can still man the mark like we used to do if we concede 5 metres then we can move where ever we want to except forward.

Other teams have adapted but only some players in our team have adjusted.
