^$%# these bleeding hearts

I think if you are honest, you would recognise that they missed their 6 and 7 more than we missed anyone.

That's debatable. If you mean that they could have won if they had their 6 & 7 then I would dispute it. Many of the games they won in their last 7 weeks have been by a point including ours in rd 5. At full strength, I still think we would have beaten them as comfortably. I think that our players are finally getting in to form. Unfortunately no team is unbeatable including ours so they have to maintain the intensity of this week for the next 15 rds including finals to go back to back.

So you call one decent performance getting into form?

We have a long way to go before we are a genuine threat again.

It does.

We still made far too may errors in this Dogs game.

RTS' pass along the ground and behind McDonald.
Mini's knock on...[Dogs scored soon after, should never have had the ball].
SBW's wayward pass to Napa...etc.
All momentum killers.
But overall it was a whole lot better than against the Cowboys the week before.
At least the Dogs weren't waltzing down our wings for tries every 5 minutes.
There is some hope to make the 8, then the top 4.

Another team lost yesterday because of all its errors in the first half...it said on the radio news today.
We must cut out the mistakes...winning demands 'perfection' today.
