Mozart - A serious Question

What went wrong with WP rugby?   They were demolished by the Bulls last week and by the Cheetahs this week and in both cases their backline was the problem.  All of Vermaak, Catrakilis and the rest were poor - well below par.
I have always said that without De Allende their backline was worthless and the latest two fiascos prove that.  The midgets in the backline - Leyds, Senatla and Kolbe = let them down badly and when De Jongh played before his injury he was bad as well.
Is the problem with their style of play or their manpower?   

 Mike, whole new coaching setup and  we mis Vermeulen more than the obvious.  We lost the go forward momenttum and although the forwards are not too bad,  we don't dominate the collisions like before.  Our backs was always sub par,  especially on defence.  Ad the absense of Damian.... not good,  but Dobson is a good coach. We wil be better sooner than later.
