Gernot Rohr's refusal to lean into the spirit of the tie and provide something new lent a tired, banal feel to Friday's loss to the Indomitable Lions
The single biggest problem with never trying something new is that it leaves precious little to talk about in the aftermath. Nothing different can be observed and, as such, little insight is gleaned.
