Yes, the correct spin is that we need to improve and do better in many areas.
However I have noticed that Toovey has brought a fresh approach to media duties. He appears (gasp) somewhat candid and open. Maybe the players are influenced by this. In the modern NRL it is obvious that injuries and suspensions have a huge impact on a team's fortunes. I didn't hear Foran's interview but I doubt he meant it as an excuse. It is just a fact of life.
