Bombers are not the old Sheedy bombers anymore...not much fight or spite.......Goddard didnt bother to fight back vs Lamb at all, he is over it and I expect a media career at the end of season for him.
We won the game but still have plenty of problems, a lot of our players looked good vs feeble opposition IMO.....you look at BomberBlitz and the common theme was weak hearted effort from the EFC....
Generally agree EB. I'm a little conflicted in my feelings about this win. Sure it's a win, and 4 points is 4 points, and it's good on that front. And it might be the only win we get this season.
But the opposition is in all sorts IMO, so in some ways it feels like a Pyrrhic victory.
