Us arm chair experts think so many games are lost at selection but imo its BS.
Don't misunderstand what i mean.
No doubt Brisbane were most likely a bridge too far.
But we were out of it before it started. Had we not got the jump early, it would've been a VERY different result....an absolute smashing.
If we pick our best team, play our best and are beaten by a better team, i can live with that.
I just think that we screwed up at the selection table and it hurt our chances of winning....if we had any chance at all.
