Agreed Micky0....that would've been pretty deflating for Cottrell to miss out on selection. He might not have dominated the game against Sydney but he's one bloke I'd back to be giving it 100% when he runs out on the ground....he's worked hard to get to where he is, unlike a few others....he's not gonna be taking it for granted.
Will be some interesting selection decisions this week for a dead rubber game against Brisbane. Maybe a swan song for Eddie and Simmo...

We seemed to have far too many players in loose ball situations or when the oppo had possession just standing around frozen and wondering what to do, leaving it to "others" to do something. Time and again players would zone off rather than attacking the ball or the opposition ball carrier only to see our defensive zone opened right up. Seems to be a LOT of confusion! By contrast, when one of our guys contested for the ball or picked it up he would be swarmed by the opposition - a stark contrast. Our "game plan" or "team orders" or whatever would seem to have some major holes and the individual players are unclear as to what they should do. This is of course complemented by the usual skill errors.
Reality always wins in the end.

Does that mean we've won 36/64 quarters this year?

I can't really understand why folks have issues with Cripps' goal and the aftermath. He was involved in several possessions, followed the ball from the wing to the F50 arc, weaved and swerved, turned Adelaide blokes inside out, and slotted it on the run. It was a super effort, his showboating lasted only a couple of seconds and was in my view, a fairly understated and mild example of that type of behavior. I have no issue with any of it.
