The players know best what's needed. You can't flog them. There was a culture of defeat. The system didn't work for anyone. It had to change. Shaping the working week is one of the key parts of the job, often ignored or undervalued. A coach, you know, doesn't often bring about a massive improvement in things. But he can very easily make things a hell of a lot worse.
More Quotes from Frank Hadden:
Those who know Scott Murray know he is not a dirty player. He was extremely disappointed. There was a late tackle from Ian Gough well after the ball had gone. Scott was trying to get out of the tackle situation as quickly as he could and flicked out his foot. He wasn't looking in Ian Gough's direction at the time. Scott was extremely remorseful.Frank Hadden
I started thinking about South Africa two days after the Italy game in mid-March, that's just the nature of the beast. We've played a lot of physical teams in the last 12 months but this is the ultimate challenge for us physically and we're playing them in their own backyard, so it will be really tough.

I'm confident where we are. We have laid some very important foundation stones. We were never going to make dramatic progress in one season. I never thought we would win the championship this year, but we have done enough to make people believe we are a good side.

The first international squad session is due to take place on October 3 and it would be expected that the new coach determines who takes part. That means giving players notice and from that point of view it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect an announcement next week.

There has been a tremendous amount of sympathy towards Scott and I haven't come across anybody who thought it was anything other than an accident. The referee's view was that he had no choice because boot made contact with head.

Steve and I have discussed a formula so that the 'A' team will adapt the same shape of game as the Scotland side so, if someone is required to fly from Canada to South Africa, then they will be up to speed with what's going on.
