That assumes we had anything resembling a credible season anyway. There's plenty of evidence to the contrary. This game and effort is no outlier.We've actually destroyed our season in this one game. Pretty impressive.
Fox commentators saying the same thingThere will be a huge elephant in the room if we play better with Pearce and Ponga off the field. Seems likely a few minutes in, lol.
We were building some confidence through our defence. We could have taken the field in week 1 of the finals at least confident that we could scrap and defend to compete. Rest half the team, you throw all that out the window.That assumes we had anything resembling a credible season anyway. There's plenty of evidence to the contrary. This game and effort is no outlier.
It's like our coaches live in an alternate reality. It can't be the same one we experience week to week.I find it amusing the entire year we choose to hit the backrower instead of going out the back but the one time we choose to go out the back it's when Kurt Mann is the intended recipient. AOB must really think Mann is a strike weapon
