Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 3310379, member: 2065"] I am 100% with you on this, they should not be offered the opportunity of blaming the ref or anyone else for their results. I thought Kev handled that press conference superbly, to the extent that I have seen him praised by supporters of other clubs that can't stand us. At the same time, I hope that the message is being relayed to the team, what the refs or the bunker do is completely out of your control. What is in your control is ensuring that (a) you do not drop the ball in our 20, particularly on first or second tackle (Kennedy); (b) you don't give away a cheap penalty within kicking distance for a head high (Flegler); (c) you don't leave your smaller bodied hooker isolated on a rampaging prop so he can be run over (Riki - & Kevvie, for not using the interchange to ensure Riki had a break at some stage so he was not gassed); (d) turning your back to the opposition as you are retreating on the blind (Kennedy); (e) not marking up effectively on the blind allowing Teddy to break through; and (f) leaving the defensive line short out wide so Copley can waltz through. They are the things that lost us the game last night. If they control those things that they can control we win and we take the ref and the bunker out of the equation. So I hope that is the type of accountability that is being reinforced. [/QUOTE]
