Got back from the game at 2am last night and although we didn’t get the result there was a lot to like from our performance too be honest.
We completed at almost 90% and created a lot of opportunities. That second half we camped them down their end and forced them to kick out of their 30m, set after set. Valentine looks hot at the back, Fifita was running straight and hard, and Townsend actually looked like a halfback!
The one worrying sign was the amount of missed tackles - need to fix that up coming into next week
Not going to blame the refs for the lose but my god there were some shockers, here’s to name a few
- Townsend ‘knock on’ - led to a try
- lee penalty - led to a try
- Lewis penalty after a great legs tackle
- they were offside all night (granted we were too)
- that first roosters try had a huge question mark over it... and losing graham because of it was huge in the context of the game
- the ‘strip’ at the end of the game - another 2 points
However we had our chances but how ****ing unlucky was Lewis to drop that ball... 99/100 he scores that .... it just summed up our night.
Wasn’t meant to be last night but I think we can dispose of the panthers relatively easily if we don’t get too ahead of ourselves and worry about the prelim and just get the job done...
I see a lot of cracks in the storm side and think we can give them a run for their money if we can get there.
Pray to the football gods graham is back for the prelim if we get there!
Chins up! We got this I am confident we can still get there.
