The club should get the blame for poor recruitment, not the players.
While your technically correctly. Good luck explaining it to the terraces on a Friday night. At ANY Rugby League ground. I'd pay for the mega-phone just to watch you try.
If you play a sport at this level, and play in badly, especially if you play without spirit in club colours, your going to get an ear-full. Anywhere you have fans that give a monkeys about their team. For what its worth, it's my experience that a player that makes the odd mistake but otherwise performs well isn't villianised for long by fans.
Its the ultimate job performance review.
