Why is it that when we win everyone thinks it was bruise free or suggesting the other team lost as opposed to us winning? Fact is, we went hard, kicked straight and dominated the ops.
Absolutely G2C!
Our blokes made it look like there was little pressure because they took the game on and exploited the errors that our pressure created. We played a demanding, high risk, high reward game style and we weren't able to maintain the same level of pressure in the last quarter. When we win convincingly, it's not because the opposition doesn't apply pressure. It's because we absorb their pressure and apply more ourselves.
It was interesting that Murphy couldn't pick up the tempo of the game and was crunched every time he contested.
