To be fair Brendon has just got back from the best part of 5 months stuck in Aus.
I watched the game last night and the first half was spectacular, much like the first 15-20 min of the away game last month.
The second half went down hill rapidly, again stupid penalties and silly handling errors just gave away possession and position just like last month.
We lacked fitness towards the end, Dewsbury are a much fitter and skilled side than any other we have come across this season and it will have taken its toll on our lads.
Fair enough there may have been some dubios decisions by the officials, but if we can't start blaming them for losing by 40 points, they didn't physically score those 40 points, create the knock ons, or give away silly penalties.
It was the first home loss of the season, we're second in the league and if my calculations are right we can't fall out of the play off zone even if we lose the next 4 games.
We just need to put this game behind us and focus on Workington next week and the last 4 games of this season!
