Well, my take on the game was a couple of things. I think it was pretty obvious that the dogs concentrated all the pressure of the rape allegations into 40 minutes of damn good football. At the same time, I think our boys may have gone into the game thinking that the dogs would be rattled by the scandal, and that Parra only needed to turn up to take the 2 points. We tackled like a packet of marshmallows, with little commitment from many of our players.
While it has put a massive dent in our season already, all I can say is it is only the first round, and I'd rather we had a shocking 40 minutes at the start of a season, than at the end like in 2001. :?
