Not a bad first half performance. We looked dangerous in attack but just made too many errors around the pitch. Knocking on in possession, missed tackles are costing us dearly and, in honesty, they have scored following our mistakes on almost every occasion. Ellery was clean through on one occasion about 30 metres out but the referee said it was a forward pass. The replay showed it was not. Our scrum is strong but the lineout is messy. ellery saved a certain try with a fantastic cover tackle. Pennycook is having an excellent match making meters with every carry.
All in all a fairly good first half. If we can cut out our errors we can get something from this (I hope).
May sound strange but we could have won that game.
We were dominant for about 15 minutes in the second half when we were 18-17 down and after a long period of possession Greg King lost the ball about 15 meters from their line. We were on top at that stage and, if we had scored, who knows? We must cut out our errors - too many passes thrown away, balls lost in possession.
If we can cut out our errors and play a 'safer' game we can get through the playoffs. If we make as many errors as we did today we will be in trouble.
