I think the surface had a bit to do with it. Chad and Jimmy must have slipped over trying to straighten into the line 2-3 times each. That inability to straighten up the line meant it was easy for the cows to slide and shut down out plays. Thought ennis could have tried to roll a few more in goal but there was only the one attempt, seemed they were trying to avoid giving a 7 tackle set. Cows did defend well, but we didn't make it very hard for them.

Think Chad fell over 3 runs in a row...

We always seem to slip over. Ev and I were chatting about this after Chad's third slip.

Good point. It did look slippery.
Who's bitching?

can't be critical on a forum. Just sit there and go 'woo-hoo go Sharkies'
Especially constructive criticism - that'll get us nowhere

people should be banned for this sort of stuff. It's really not needed in a place like this

Hardly constructive when the people we are criticising arent reading it. Nor would they care. ; )

As much as last night was great, I gave the biggest cheer of the weekend without doubt to fergo' face plant, must not have a brain cause it would have concussed a regular Joe.

The boys didn't sing the song with much gusto in the sheds last night. Wish they had their own song.
Weren't enthused at all.
I've always thought that you just do what you need to do to win in the conditions you're given and the opposition you are against.
We dominated the Cowboys defensively like no other side has done all year. Yes a try or two with the possession we had would have been great. But that amount of ball we had destroyed the cows and left them nothing in the tank to throw anything at us.
Sometimes making a side defend their asses off on their line 3-4 sets in a row is as impactful as scoring.
You dominate the ruck and possession and complete at a high percentage and you win most games of footy.

Whilst I get where you're coming from we still need to be able to score against the better teams. Cows crossed the line twice and bombed a certain try after the lolo break. Those chances wont all go begging in the finals and we are going to have to be able to match it with the big teams in attack as well as defence.
