Obviously effort is unconditional. But in terms of actual performance, we were a severely depleted side today.
On our list we have 11 players with 90 or more games experience to their name. Just 11.
From that 11, 6 of them did not play today. 5 through injury/suspension and 1 of them is a backup ruck who was not good enough to get picked (Lobbe).
Of the remaining 5 who did play, 2 of them are not in our best 22 (Casboult, Fasolo) and 1 is borderline (E. Curnow). Leaving only Cripps and Kreuzer from our most experienced 11 players who deserved to be out there.
Simpson - 314
Murphy - 258
Thomas - 248
Kreuzer - 179
Ed Curnow - 154
Jones - 119
Casboult - 113
Fasolo - 104
Lobbe - 100
Cripps - 92
Docherty - 92
We were a rudderless ship today, and a lack of leadership out on the ground couldn't have come at a worse time.
