They are tired as. The 6-agains and penalties have killed them. They might come back a bit in the second, but they won't have the energy for the full 80
This is what confidence does to a team. Both teams were so poor to start and the only difference was the penalties that were being given. The ref was calling us off tackles A LOT very early, and I was seriously worried, but I think the lip from Newcastle just put them offside with him.
