I think a lot of the poor performances we are seeing, is down to a lack of competition for places and having a pretty thread bare squad. Both Paul and Porto know that they are pretty much a certainty to start, as does Gogic, Newell and others. At the start of the season young Doig was keeping Lewis out and as soon as Lewis got injured, for whatever reason his performances dropped. Doidge knows he has next to no competition for his spot, Boyle and Porto too.
This isn't saying they are deliberately underperforming, just not the same intensity worrying about being dropped and there positions under threat.
