Weather wasn't that bad, bit windy but it basically rained during anthems and that it. If someone in the box was watching the Bureau of met websites radar and a he'll of a storm was coming then fair enough. I think taking the 2 to put you 2-0 up 20 odd mins into a match 30 m out is a bad tactic on both a physical and mental level. Physically manly would of had to defend another possible 6 tackles, even more if can get a repeat set (yes ya could duff it but should have the confidence not too.) wearing them down with more tackles. Mentally you tell the opposition you don't think you can break their line, you are to tired to try or boys need a rest and you are taking the "easy" 2 points. I would have a feeling a good captain would of been stating those things behind the goal post. Also what are you tell you own team? You're not good enough to get 6 points?
Now 6-0 up I can see value in 8-0 with less than 20 min on the clock and bad weather. I guess a lot comes down to the feel of the game. I personally wasnt feeling the 2 points, ya should of had ya forwards ready to smash roses head in for he cheap shot and used that aggression.
