On a day when the weather delivered conditions that required we turn up in a Toyota Hilux, prepared to get dirty and get the tough stuff done, unfortunately we turned up in a Toyota Echo, looking for a quick journey in a bit of comfort.
The Tigers gave us a lesson that the last game's effort is no guarantee to a good performance in the next game. In a game where both teams made errors, we did not make the most of our opportunities, taking the ball over the line four times but failing to ground it for a try.
We lost an opportunity to climb another rung on the ladder and take a handy spot behind the front runners. And if not for the efforts of Luke Capewell we would not have been in a position to get so close to the Tigers, saving three tries with an ‘extra’ effort in defence.
We go to Brisbane with a big challenge but there is not a better place to go and play well at a magnificent stadium. It will be a new experience for many of the boys having to travel by plane for a game, one member of our squad has never been on a plane before.
I hope we can regain some form and bring it back to the Members the following week against the Cowboys.
See you at ANZ Stadium.
