I have to disagree. I think people in the South Sydney thread exaggerate and resort to hyperbole as a way of releasing frustration every time we lose a game!
What cost us tonight was fatigue. It’s no coincidence that we have looked our shakiest during the back end of games, even in those matches that we have won! Many people are going to highlight the errors that we made in the second half as the catalyst for us losing. You have to ask yourself why these errors were made in the context of both tonight’s match and our season as a whole. For me, it has to be fatigue. I think a lot of people underestimate the impact that fatigue has on overall performance - it results in lower output for almost EVERY aspect of the game. Not only do you tire physically but you aren’t at your sharpest mentally either! Remember, this is arguably the key factor behind our previous coach’s demise!
In saying that, we only made 11 errors for the entire game - the Broncos made 10! Fox Sports has us down for making 6 of those in the second half. From memory our completion rate was 76% While this isn’t ideal I’ve seen teams make a lot more errors and complete a lot less sets and still get the money! Ultimately, the Broncos played an excellent half of footy in the second 40 and we have to acknowledge their efforts!
