They can't put the queue in the rack. The selection of stocker was a tell.
If we are debuting players while o'Brien is getting a game we wont win many.
They should have just said the truth, after so many outs it was going to be a tough week.
I knew it, you knew it, we all had slim hope and the truth won't change that. But the reality of the outs was so far from the dream sold to us that many just wanted to believe in a fairytale.
Would the players have been less prepared if the week's pre-game speak was full of adversity rather than expectation? We let the media and Norp install us as favourites and I fear some of the kids actually believed it! Yesterday they played like a team that had got ahead of themselves, and based on what an honourable loss against a senior team on the slide?
"Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck ....... Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck"
