Just got back from the game.
It took almost 2 hours to get back to the Shire after driving in some of the most terrifying and scary weather conditions I’ve ever witnessed. Rain continually pouring on my windscreen in torrents, bumper to bumper traffic with water cascading over the road, it was truly a nightmare.
Now most of you commentating in the game day thread probably weren’t at the ground, let me tell you the rain did not let up for the entire game and it was heavy throughout. No ground, no matter how good the drainage, could ever hold up under that barrage.
How anyone can criticise any of those 34 players out there in those conditions is beyond me. We had to continually defend towards the end of that first half and to concede on halftime, yes, was extremely disappointing. Refereeing was not on a great level but in the end we did well to only concede one try in that last 10-15 mins.
Second half we handled much better and came away with a deserved win. Yes we made errors, yes we played dumb sometimes but you can’t fault the effort and commitment of the guys out there.
Let’s take the two points and move on.
Good opportunity to beat the Storm without their Origin players.
3 wins in a row now and some of you blokes still want to keep whinging.
