The dogs kicked 11 points and I'm sure their supporters have thoughts along the lines of "if only we had kicked fewer points we'd have been ahead at 3 quarter time."
With regard to Charlie, who knows what he'll be like when he returns. Let's hope he is back to his best, but the reality is we don't know whether his knee will allow him the freedom to play his natural style, or whether it will withstand the pressure of match play.
Also, we don't know what his mental state will be after such a prolonged layoff.
We sometimes look at a game and say... now add these five or six injured players and you'd get a different result.
What we sometimes overlook is who gives way for those players. For example...if Curnow, De Koning and Martin play...is there a spot for Jack Silvagni?
What's our forward line look like with Curnow in?
