Daily Telegraph But after four straight losses, the Bunnies coach must be starting to wonder if he has enough time to pick his players up from the canvas and get them ready for finals football. The Rabbitohs are struggling. A loss to the bumbling Wests Tigers on Saturday will surely have the Redfern boys ready to book their end-of-season holidays in September. Taylor says it's just a case of not every player turning up every week. Issac Luke had a great game last night. John Sutton did not have a great game. Roy Asotasi had a blinder in the first half. Craig Wing could have made a difference had his hamstring been fine. Consistency from his entire playing roster is all Taylor wants: "I thought there were some excellent contributions from number of players tonight, but we're struggling to get 17 players to play their best footy together," said Taylor. "Some guys really stepped up and played to their ability, a couple of others were off their game, and you need everybody on their game. "I've pressed it upon the boys we all need to put our best foot forward every week and at training. When everybody is contributing, that's when you win games, but if individuals aren't doing that consistently, you have to find somebody else. "It's not my style to make mass changes. You only need to do it when people aren't having a go and the team needs a shake up. We're certainly having a go, we just got ourselves into a hole for a period early in the second half tonight." Taylor gave Luke a big wrap. His hairstyle made the stand-in hooker a standout before a ball had been kicked. "I thought Issac did a great job tonight, he was back to his best footy, so if Wingy had have played then it would have given us another player playing that sort of footy," Taylor said. "I think he would have helped us, but he wasn't and it's all guesswork. "We did a good job to get ourselves in the lead, but whether Wingy could have prevented the first 20 minutes of the second half I'm not sure." It's time to panic.
