With comparable possession, completion rate, runs, run metres, average set distance, and post-contact metres, how on God's green earth do you lose a game with 12 line breaks to their 2, 42 tackle breaks to their 16, and 16 missed tackles compared to their 42? Absolutely mind-blowing stuff. We should have won the game in a hand canter with those stats.
Positives...
Obviously everyone knows how great a player Val Holmes is, but he stands out like dog's balls in our team. Thank God he's signed till the end of 2027.
The future of the pack does look bright if we can keep this crop together. I posted when they debuted that the Couchman's will rep by their mid twenties, I still believe that. Egan has a big future, but the one I knew very little about and who has impressed me no end is Hamish Stewart. For someone who's played a handful of first-grade games, he looks like a tremendous prospect too and right at home in the top grade. Imagine what he'll look like with a couple more preseasons under his belt. He'll be an absolute enforcer for us, no doubt.
Negatives...
AAH, f##k it, you saw it all, I can't be bothered... Too depressing.
PS: Re-sign Liddle or I'm really gunna be pissed...
