I would rather sleep on the result, then reflect.
We were always going to be up against it last night, Squealers are going for the title, spurred on by the Giants loss on Friday, we are playing with 4 D and 3 out (2 + 1 extra import + 1 Brit). also others playing with injuries and a returnee after 10 weeks out.
Was I hoping we would win? yes, think we would win no.
Crandall helped out on D in the 3rd, which left us short up front, so our 4 D were mainly playing 30 mins each and staying at home not adding to the rush much.
"Lack of effort", come on, we really don't know the extent of the players playing with injuries, not sure if any professional sportsman goes out with a "lack of effort" frame of mind, that will lead to injury if not alert etc..
I have never played the game, and I would imagine some of the comments regarding lack of effort are made by "non-having-ever-played" contributors?
We out shot them and won the face off % so all not "lack of effort" in those battles
Not sure why the 3rd was allowed, squealer clearly standing in the crease, but on the other hand not sure why their goal was wiped off and Jake ends up in the box? having said that overall the officiating was good, even though Hogarth thinks he's a god out there with his body language.
Breathe guys, far more serious things going on.
