We're shit at the long game

1 out against a 12 man team. Why would you do that
To control the ball. Penrith were the ones behind on the scoreboard. If they had been playing to win they would've made more errors and we would've gotten more opportunities. But there was no scoreboard pressure on them because they accepted the loss at halftime. They just stuck in the grind and we had to oblige them. Don't read too much into it. While they were desperate and trying to win we smashed them.

Penrith are a well-drilled, highly-disciplined side, even with one man down.

Their defence is the best in the business, even with a player sent off.

I think they deserve some credit.

At 12-4 I was looking forward to winning against 13 men. We may not of but we where travelling well. At worse its probably 12-10 halftime and game on.
The send off ruined th spectacle. It ruined our test and it also ruined what could of been some real self belief.
The two point are great but I reckon we where atleast 50/50 of winning that game. Probably higher. We where denied a confidence building win tonight.

Your kidding. Dyl even said it
Footy players aren't real smart. There's not much the coach can say other than "Stay disciplined and don't turn it into touch footy". How that impacts the players' decision making on the field is up to them. You give the coach too much credit (and criticism). On the field it's the players who make the decisions. They're not robots blindly following their programming.
