I know the feeling around here is always going to be bad after a loss but I didn't think we were too bad. The game could have been won if we were better (i.e. we were not outclassed) but I think they wanted it more. Which is a shame considering we finally had a small winning streak going so you would have thought our boys would hold on to that for dear life.
A friend told me the result before I could watch it so I expected us to be bad so I guess I was just relieved that we did not slip back into the performance we gave in round 1, it was just a case of poor 5th tackle options and a couple of defensive lapses. Well those and their fullback had a killer game.
Questions remain over both Wrights in my opinion, Matt and Brod, but both should be persisted with for now. I also agree with those of you questioning whether Gal does too much. I respect what he does, he is the heart and soul of our team, but the team around him is getting some confidence and have alot to offer and it does seem like he sometimes stands in their way.
Phil Gould used to make the good point that an attacking issue we have with Gal as captain is that opposition teams know if he is close to the play then he will get the ball and it becomes very predictable. He says Gal getting his hands on the ball less and we start throwing dummies to him then it will confuse defences.
