Message: [QUOTE="Dee, post: 3066661, member: 2254"] Upon further reflection of last nights game, it;s still very very disappointing. It's disappointing because we simply weren't up for it. If you break the game down in pieces and analyse it, we weren't up for it. That 1st half, we lacked energy and enthusiasm. Every set the Souths forwards would gain extra yardage with their leg drive, we couldn't take them down or completely stop them from going forward. They were offloading alot and dominating the ruck all game. Us on the other hand looked sluggish, had no real energy. We improved in the 2nd half. We didn't execute most plays, Oates dropping the ball over the line, Boyd not diving low to score, Isaako knocking on when we had Souths on the ropes, giving away silly penalties etc. The fact is when the game was on the line, they scored back to back tries and broke us. Best thing we could do was push and shove, get frustrated and try to physically fight them but that just shows psychologically and mentally they won and excuses can be made, we are a young team etc but this is the difference between us and the premiership contenders - we aren't on their level yet. It was a great effort to fight back and I'm proud of that, I really am and I liked how we all bought in once they put a shot on Glenn but playing footy wins games, not putting a shot on someone's chin. We need to control our aggression. So, I'm still disappointed because our season is on the line and we didn't get the job done but I'm more disappointed in our effort, energy and enthusiasm in that 1st half and some of the 2nd half. I don't mind losing but our season is on the line and we start the game complacent. How can we be out enthused? But let's move on. Eels next week. [/QUOTE]
