We've had the best of this, and I'm confident we should win - but can we put this side away?

Would be good to see us go on with an advantage, and get a decent margin under our belts. But there's too many dumb plays, that let the pressure off (and give the chance for our opposition to keep touch with us) when we shout be putting them down for the count.
You're right, but I hope you realise that putting them to the sword means to keep grinding them down and not trying to play Parraball on every tackle.

Mbye didn’t drop that ball because we intentionally built pressure. He’s just a mug and we were lucky enough to take advantage.
It's not just the one drop, it's all the mistakes the opposition makes over the whole 80 minutes. You need to stop looking at the game as half a dozen huge moments and realise the result occurs because of every moment in the 80 minutes.

Sure, continued grinding with consistency which produces effective attack resulting in a scoreboard outcome - the thing we seem to lack too often when holding advantage and in the opposition red zone.

Doesn't seem to be a problem tonight though...
