In the last 2 games we won, we comprehensively outplayed the other team. Nothing at all to do with the other team turning up and expecting a win.
Sharks was always going to be tough game. They are one of few sides not impacted by injuries at the moment.
- Add in playing effectively in a lake.
- Add in playing 57 minutes with 3 on the bench, and 38 with only 2 on the bench.
- Add in crucial mistakes by a debut player (when it should have been Braidon Burns in that spot).
- Add in having to play a COMPLETELY different game in the wet, without the coach available for most of the week.
Then
- Add in the RFM no try.
- Add in the Morrin BS no try.
Suddenly things don't seem that bad.
The effort was there but the game didn't play out how we'd have hoped and no luck went our way.
On a dry track, with reasonable officials, we probably win that game.
