Someone said these excuses would come out;

“The sin-binning obviously at that stage didn’t help,” McGregor said. “[There were] six penalties against the opposition in the second half and no one goes to the bin, and four inside the 20-metre zone. But that’s not an excuse.” "Our completion rate was down on where it needs to be to be a top-four side and when we lost someone in the bin they capitalised on it. But I think that second half has got to be where we start next week – the way we defended with a bit of better execution, obviously."

As for this;

“Our second half was much better than our first and that is where it has to start next week,” McGregor said. “A zero scoreline for the opposition in the second half, we scored a couple of second-half tries, started to build pressure, our kicking game was better, we started to play through them a lot more, controlled their offloads better and made it a contest.

Well, the bloke is delusional. To think he can try and excuse that effort with this crap about a good second half. This has been happening for about 6 weeks now with McGregor consistently trying to put a positive spin on things, seemingly refusing to accept what we can all see, ie they are playing like a badly coached side.

Oh, for a decent coach like Bellamy who would absolutely blast the team, refuse to accept the dumb way they are playing and refuse to make excuses for these type of games.

The years wasted by this club after 2010 with the boys brigade is sickening ....

Every losing press conference is a carbon copy of the one before. These two offer us nothing on and off the field. I've never been a Mary fan but I am starting to go off Widdop. At least speak some home truths for the fans, and shake up the team selections for pete's sake!
