Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3056762, member: 1899"] It was the story of the Cowboys second half. They just kept finding ways to invite the Sharks into their half, starting with that kick out from the full with Clifford. The most egregious example was Hess' escort on Morris but they couldn't get in the game. They desperately needed to find the sideline at 14-4 but just couldn't orchestrate it. It's where they really needed Drinkwater to step up. Clifford has a good boot on him, but he's too nervous to be the main kicker. They really needed to share the workload and provide other options to take pressure off of Jake. In saying that, I think you're being harsh on Drinkwater here. In context he should have let the ball bounce and positioned himself to kick it just in case. However, the majority of the time, fullbacks will make a play on those kick when they sit up like that, so I'm not prepared to rack him over the coals for it. I've seen some shocking in-goal decisions, was it Maranta or Boyd in 15 who'd just knock everything dead even if they had more than a decent chance of getting out? For some reason I remember the Round 8 2015 clash being one of the laziest attempts I've seen. Speaking of, Drinkwater's effort doesn't compare to Dugan's in the first half. That deserved a try and a swift reminder for Duges to get his head in the game. [/QUOTE]
