Has anyone noticed the change in Lids' attitude this year?
I first noticed it in round 2 I think (might have been round 1), when the siren went and he took a wild swing at the ball in the air in frustration. Ever since that point he seems to have said to himself "I'm sick of losing, let's start winning some games" and has started attacking the game much more. He is in the best form of his career and is averaging a higher supercoach score than Dane Swan did last year.
I think the switch has flicked in his head, and he now has the players around him to actually make the most of his talent.
I mention this cos it ties in with him putting his hand up for the captaincy. The knock on Lids was that he never seemed to control a game and take it by the scruff of the neck. He is now playing the kind of game that you want out of your captain. His tackling all year has been immense as well. Is sticking a lot of big tackles and putting on heaps of pressure.
Maybe he has a whole new level to go to if he is made captain?
