That is completely simplistic. We are in more than a "form slump." There are serious structural deficiencies in our attack and nothing "appears" to be happening to rectify it. We have played 3 semi finals and 1 WCC under Tooveys reign and we have won one of them in controversial circumstances.
I really really want Tooves to succeed, but late into his 2nd season and with one of the best rosters in the NRL, it's the time to start delivering some wins, just like Ivan Cleary is now doing, having been at the riff for the same period of time with an inferior roster.
Fair call.
More than a form slump IMO. Our attack within the oppositions 20 hasn't looked like cracking them in weeks.
There was also some criticism last season (of our attack) which promptly got shut down after an odd big win, which although satisfying at the time, didn't really address the criticism.
