RVW and Hooper

Another problem. Hooper & RVW came from teams that are always at or near the top of their respective leagues. They were used to playing for teams that were usually much stronger than their opponents and thus created plenty of chances, so if they missed a chance they knew another would be along shortly. Suddenly having to play for a team that is one of the weakest in its division and thus creates much fewer chances is a totally different proposition - if you miss a chance you might not get another. That creates a LOT more pressure and requires a much stronger mindset, which they haven't adapted to well (if at all)
