Fark me, did any of you lot actually read the other quotes?
"I just put (the errors) down to the fact I'd rather go down swinging and try and make our attack work," said Cooper, who undergoes knee surgery tomorrow.
"It's the only way we're going to beat the All Blacks.
"I'd much rather go down swinging and throwing the punches to put yourself in a winning position than come out saying we kept it close.
"It's okay if you come close but it's not if you never look like beating them.
"We can't be afraid. We should have respect for them but also have enough faith in our own ability."
It's exactly what everyone here has said on this forum for years, yet when a player says the exact same thing he gets cut down for it.
None of the quotes puts emphasis on Dean's lack of game plan or inability to coach it's all about his mindset of going out attacking and actually trying something. He's said nothing that undermines the current team or in any way degrades his coaching team or other players.
Hate Quade for being arrogant or failing at times, but I'd rather see them go out there and actually have a decent crack rather than play the exact same crap we've watched for years fail.
