Interesting logic there. Bit backwards if you ask me.
Re injured during half time break....
Not really true. Williams got.injured in the last minute of the first half. I noticed it at the time. He was subbed out at half time.
Eddie betts got injured late in the 2nd quarter. Had Williams not been injured betts wouldve been subbed out imo. He did nothing for the rest of the game and couldn't walk afterwards.
So that's 2. Enough to make a difference.
TBH, when I saw eddies ankle I thought to myself this might be the last time we see him in navy blue...ever. I don't think he'll play next week.
As for why we dropped our bundle...perhaps the above 2 were simply the straw that broke the camels back. You can only deal with so many hits before it all catches up with you. I thought Harry the out was the final straw. I was surprised how well we held up last week, and the week before....but north were on the ball and could smell blood and put in 4 quarters unlike the last 2 opponents.
According to your logic, injuries caused us to drop our bundle at the beginning of the third quarter, resulting in North kicking 7 goals to none.
How then, with the same injuries, were we able to kick 6 goals in the last quarter?
I still believe that poor leadership combined with a poor list and the inability to concentrate for 4 quarters are our main problems.
