Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 3277278, member: 2065"] Not a particular crack at you or at [USER=1992]@Huge[/USER]. I just don't get why there has to be such absolutism that it is all on Isaako or all on Robati (noting that [USER=1992]@Huge[/USER] is not suggesting that, he is just suggesting that if you are looking for the major contribution it was the sin binning). It is a team game, the team as a whole contributed to the loss. Defensive lapses from a number of players that resulted in tries. Isaako made a big contribution to the loss with his mistakes and general lack of contribution. The mistake just before half time speaks for itself. The mistake just after half time was also significant in the context of a team with fragile resilience. That mistake led to the Dragons setting up camp in our quarter for the next 3-4 sets. I can only imagine that immediately after half time with the hope of having a good start to the second half that mistake was deflating for a weak team. The contribution of Robati's sin binning was significant because as Huge points out that was the period that our back was broken and two tries were scored. We went from six points down to out of the match. But at the end of the day it was a team loss contributed to by various players. Robati's mistake in the context of his playing experience and the fact that it was in one tackle where he just misjudged the target zone is probably excusable. The mistakes of Isaako in the context of a far more experienced player who has played international football and is in a key spine position are perhaps less excusable. That is my take. [/QUOTE]
