Message: [QUOTE="Culhwch, post: 3370881, member: 1983"] A disappointing game but not a disheartening one, I don't think. We were in it throughout the first, even if the execution was off. It's been the story of this team for most of the last five or six - not converting solid chances to points. And it's probably hard to shake off that feeling that if you don't make something happen now you're not going to have a chance again, given some of the results these players have been involved in over the last two to three years. They need to take the percentage plays, not push a pass, not chance the outside - and that will come with time and experience. Reynolds will sort some of that out, but it will take time. I thought the Cowboys benefited from some pretty favourable penalties out of their own forty, and there were a couple of times that the Broncs might have felt hard done by to not hear the whistle. The tries either side of halftime were the killer, as they often have been in recent years. Reynolds' two errors around that time compounded things, and we were suddenly deep in the hole and things fell apart from there. I wonder if they'd converted a few of those chances in the first half what would have happened, but they didn't, and they have to learn from that. Kev's bench management was again questionable - and the moves he made after Riki departed I don't think we're the right ones. Palasia seemed the wrong sub to play out the game out wide, and perhaps Kobe would have been a better option. Even getting Billy on then and shifting Turpin might have been a better option. Did Carrigan play eighty? He played out of his skin, but his minutes were too long. Better to get that loss in now and learn from it, and they will need to learn from it. Hopefully it will force the changes that have been hard to make until now - questions over Turpin's and Staggs' places in the team will gain momentum - and with luck it will see the team bring a better attitude next week. Hass, Pat and Herbie the best on field for us, in no particular order. [/QUOTE]
