One to forget...

I don't know if a video session is needed for last night's game. There is absolutely nothing positive that can come from going over the game again.

I thought the forwards held their own, errors were down & the completion rate was good but the halves, Head & Barrett were completely invisible. There was no spark & no creativity. The weight of posession & field position that Saints had but did not capitalise on was a killer.

Where is the Barrett of a few weeks ago, the ball-running five-eighth?? He wasn't in FNQ, that's for sure. Indecisive & ineffectual last night. Same for Head - who missed a kick from virtually in front.

I'll stand by what I said before the game that Saints can & should have beaten the Cowboys by 12-18 points. The game was won & lost in the backs - the Cowboys are very talented, well-drilled & disciplined & wanted it more. All congratulations to them, imagine of Morrison & their other injured players were available?? :evil:

Cheers,
Ben S.

You'd be surprise how many teams have had bad games against the Cowboys this season.

Sometimes even when they have beaten the Coowboys.

There might be a pattern there ;-).

Grant, there's no disrespect to the Cowboys & their defence was amazing but the amount of times that Barrett or Head did nothing with the ball late in the sets was frustrating to say the least.

That & the missed tackles killed Saints & NQ were good enough to cut right through Saints like they weren't there...

Re: Barrett

I couldn't believe that they allowed him to play.

Anyone that has been in a motor vehicle accident whether it be serious or minor knows that you feel as though you have been hit by a Mack truck, but you don't feel it till a day or 2 later.

Serious decelleration has that effect on the body.

Barrett was non exsistant, and it looked like Head was waiting to see what Barrett was doing.

I dips me lid to Browny, who is one of only a few NRL coaches to be gracious in defeat. It's a good trait.

Go the Cowboys!
