I mercifully had my own sporting commitments so didn't watch the game nor do I intend to watch the game.

I would be interested to know if this is a game we should have won? Were we the better team etc.

Anyways, at least the team is putting in the effort, from what I have read, we are a classic example of a team that has forgotten how to win.

Souffs next, they haven't exactly lit the world on fire since round 2 so I give us half a chance.

It was a game you could have won- but probably not one you SHOULD have won, given that you were out scored 6 tries to 4 (plus what probably should've been a penalty try to the Warriors) als were beaten in all the stats. But your team hung in and were still good enough to push it to extra time, you're not playing like a rabble and a win can't be too far off.

We almost certainly would have won a game like this the last three years. What price experience?

Considering our 1, 6 and 7 are still eligible for the Holden Cup it's little wonder they're struggling to get the job done over 80 mins. Nonetheless it was a pretty good game and lots to be pleased about. Really liked what Robbo said at the presser, we'll come good soon.

3. Hastings. Nice return to form with the boot (I'll forgive his last kick option in GP, putting it down to match experience)
2. Friend
1. Moa

In Easts we Trust

Didnt get to see all of the match but what I thought really cost us was not playing smart. Things like Sam Moa passing at the line on 3rd tackle which forced a turnover in our own half when we're in front late. All we needed to do was smash it up the guts, get to our kick and get up and tackle.

We've got to be patient tho, losing is shit but there's a good football team in there somewhere and I believe we will see it come out as the year goes on.

3 - Hastings. He looked a a lot more in control. Can't wait to see he and Niko develop together even tho Niko clearly isn't ready.
2 - Friend
1 - SKD

Jacko looked good with the boot, slotted a few from outside and did it with ease. Hopefully he's over the little niggle he had, cos his goal kicking will be needed.
