we can never win a game wen it looks like we are on a role, it is pissing me off how we come so close to being a threat to teh leaders then lose a crutial game.
I tell you mate, you can probably put it down to Origin. I often say "Origin is no excuse" and we proved that last year when we beat the Roosters and Raiders during our Origin series and I think most of those games were Friday night games.
The players themselves have said they prefer to play 2 days after an Origin. It's much harder to play a hard game 3 or 4 days after a game thats as brutal as Origin can be. We've had 16 years to get something in place to deal with Origin season as far as training and preparation goes.
You can be sure, because of Wednesday night, your team suffered and the injuries to Barrett and others tonight certainly didn't help.
