[1] We were pretty damned good in the 1st Quarter. The only thing we couldn't do is kick a goal. Silvagni was excellent, as was Murphy. Setters was good except for his kicking. He should have had 3 goals. One shot didn't even get 35 m!
[2] MicNat was the difference. Simple as that. The guy is such a good ruckman when he is on.
[3] Tom de Koning showed a bit as a resting ruck. But he played almost purely forward after H went down.
[4] With H going off, we were rudderless. It robbed us in the ruck and it robber us in the forward line.
I don't get some of the hate towards a few of our players, it's like the people doing the commenting did not watch the game!
"Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck ....... Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck"
