I meant exactly what I posted.Cue in the rack ? Switched off ? Is that what happened. What a luxury that must be to be so supremely confident against a team that's 2nd on the ladder and have won 6 from 8 ( One loss in golden point ).
Maybe you mean they got a bit tired, I don't think Bellyache or Smith do "cue in the rack".
It wasn't 2 late consolation tries after the 60 minute mark, it was 4, 3 tries in 12 minutes from the 60th minute then a late try on the bell. I'm more inclined to think it was our forwards winning their battle and a 60/40 possession to us that did it, but unfortunately too late. With Widdop we could have done a lot better considering he was carving it up before his injury and would have stepped up against his old team.
The better team won - actually they lost just 4 games from 27 last year.
They scored 6 tries to our 1 by the 60 minute mark.
Job done and they coasted and took no unnecessary risks to key players for the last quarter of the game.
If we had of scored a couple of tries just after half time the Storm would have executed a completely different 2nd half.
We may have been 2nd on the ladder but were always imposters and good coaches and good sides new exactly what they had to do to put us away.
The Eels and Storm showed us up for what we really were and later on so did some of the teams below us.
I never fell for the we are good because we led the comp bull shit.
