wish we had one burgess, let alone four.
Ha, I had the exact same thought!
I only watched the first half but I assume the second followed a similar or worse path.
We were never in that. Their forwards and in particular Issac Luke just killed us up the middle and we had no answer. The continuous bad defensive reads and our tendency this year to drop our heads the moment something goes against us certainly helped though.
It's scary knowing we're going into next year with the same or a worse pack. While I still think we'll have a better year next year, I'm finding it hard to get excited about next season. Think it will be the first off season in a while where I won't be anxious for the footy to start again.
I've resigned myself to Stoney taking over but the more I think about it I hope we go for someone else (as much as I would feel sorry for him). We need a fresh outlook and shake up going into the new season and I don't think that will happen with Stone. Unfortunately though he seems to be the best of some less than impressive options.
