Late reaction to the game as I went to bed straight after and then have been busy this morning.
But, another loss, our sixth in a row, and another really disappointing night all round. We knew the Panthers would be too strong for us, and we really can't expect too much with the side we currently have but despite that, as always after a loss, I still feel bitterly disappointed.
Look, I am proud of the effort. The boys really put in effort-wise, and you can't really fault them there. We gave it a crack and to be honest, I think we did trouble them at times, we just didn't have the players out there to fully crack them. It blew out a little in that period after halftime which sucked, but aside from that, I really do think we kept it respectable which to be honest, was all we realistically asked in the lead up this week.
However, I'm still super disappointed and frustrated because I feel like we still could have done soooo much better. Not really with the ball, I don't think we could have done much better there, but without it was poor. Firstly, I don't know how many f**king stupid yardage penalties we gave away. That was so frigging frustrating, and I think they literally scored three tries, maybe more, off penalties in their own half. That is simply not good enough. Then, our defence down there was just shit. I think just about all their tries, aside from two, were down to our poor defence rather than them cracking us. It was just shit but that's where we're at.
The highlight of the night was certainly Tyrone Munro. After the most heartbreaking and devastating couple of days of his life, he goes out there and puts on a performance like that. Hats off to the kid, super impressive and that just drives home even more that he is something special. Mum and Uncle would be extremely proud.
All in all though, shit night again. I really felt like that game dragged on and on, and I just couldn't wait for it to end. How depressing.
One to go! Thank God.
