At the end of the day, all that matters is who went home with the 2 points.
Unfortunately it was a great effort, but the doggies are the only team in the comp who won't lie down. They push and push for the 80 minutes. Which is why that play by Blake on the 5th was so crucial to the outcome. I'm not having a dig at Blake. Riddell did the exact same thing last season in the same situation. The knock on by Josh at the end was also disappointing. We really need to smarten up as a team & slow it down a little when we are under pressure.
All in all I thought the rest of the game was great. Our outside backs are using the width well & the halves, while still a bit rusty, are coming good. Finch was good today, and can hopefully carry it with him next week!
It was an exciting game, and the dogs were deserved winners, although I don't really think they brought their A game with them this week.
