Didn't see the game so can.t comment too much, but will anyway. Scored six tries which is good, but they scored seven which is not good enough. We do seem to score out wide more than others or maybe that's my misassumption, which then affects our conversion rate, which consequently more than not affects the win ratio, among other things. We have lost close games this cut down season because of poor conversion rates which is bloody annoying,(miss Ryan Shaws goalkicking) also lost by drop goals too often. Little things like this make a big difference are game management issues which need addressing. Annoyingly as supporters we can see it coming in close games and it usually does happen. Sneyd a perfect example, we just knew it. The dullers have won more than they have lost like this, and they are no great shakes, in fact they are awful to watch. We have lost many more and this needs addressing. To be a top team or even get close, game management needs to improve. Top teams win close games, and believe they will win and put themselves in a position to win, and generally do. When all is said and done, that's all that really matters.
That said, can't complain too much, we are a better side now, but injuries are biting, and us long suffering loyal supporters who have seen success just want it back, it's been far too long. There is a glimmer of better times, just hope the club can push on now. We have had enough this bottom dwelling disappointing let down c**p.
On a side issue, Crooks, Minikin, and Maher...retain or not? If we get rid, who could we get who is better? The jury is out for me.
