Message: [QUOTE="Burg, post: 2145356, member: 1785"] I have waited quite a while before I decided to comment on this and like everyone I was just gutted. I agree pretty much in principle with what everyone is saying here and I do agree with what Mal and Coxy said, and to paraphrase it wasn't totally Sims fault we lost the game. "However", my only point is Ã¢â‚¬Å“despiteÃ¢â‚¬Â all of the dropped balls, failed attempts at try scoring and poor decision making throughout the game we were still in front with tackles up our sleeve with less then a minute to go. Should have been in front by more, Lockyer should have not tried an impossible pass, should have kicked for 2 right in front, etc, etc, should have, didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t, doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t change where we were 45 seconds from full time. The reality was that Sims has always had a suspect hold on the ball (point up) and this was highlighted many times throughout the season, and his only job in his last carry up was to HOLD THE BALL, he didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t, and well history tells the tale. Is he to blame for the loss? Yes and no. What he did do was take the opportunity for the win away from our control and gave it to the Storm. Should he be vilified for the rest of his career? No. I just hope it makes him a better player. I hope he finally changes his style of ball carrying and I hope it haunts him for the rest of his career so that he realises that every carry, regardless of what time of year or what time is on the clock is important, and that one mistake can and does have an effect on more then just him, then maybe, just maybe its worth the pain. Sometimes you have to experience the pain before you truly appreciate the joy and success. [/QUOTE]
