Suns coach Damien Hardwick has thrown down the gauntlet to his star midfielders, raising the concern that they havenโt played consistently well against contending sides.
Hardwick said Matt Rowell was finding form after returning from injury and that could be the development that helps bring up his fellow onballers.
โEnd of the day, our profile is a relatively strong profile but against the best contenders, it is inconsistent,โ Hardwick told Kayo Sports.
โOur performance from our very best players has been a bit the same. They acknowledged it, accepted it and the accountability is there but we have put different personnel through there and Rowell had a significant injury and is just starting to get back to his best.
โWhen one piece of the puzzle gets going, we think the rest will as well.โ
