Game management

[innsaneink]

Kick into touch the opposition form a scrum instantly to stop the clock, only a matter of seconds difference to dying with the ball 10m out.
He was midfield anyway from memory nowhere near touch
How was he to know we'd concede a very very dubious penalty

What Game management …..plenty of excuses from the Tricky Ricky handbook here , how the hell did they lose that game .Falling 2 points short to make finals well hope not. The decisions in the last 4 minutes were garbage and those executing them should be called out simple!

Spot on, poor game management from our halves

I think a field goal at 20-14 would have been the go aswell….. with 10 to go. Brooks on a whole looked good throughout the game. Benji sometimes should take a back seat to Luke. Something to work on for coming weeks

Field goal when already 2 points up is absurd. The short kickoff is a 50/50 contest, so why present that opportunity to the opposition?

Game management is harshly judged at times. Try closing a game out when your forwards are getting bashed the way our were. Very difficult. I judge game management when our forwards either win the ruck or at least compete. Last night we didn't get close to Newcastles pack. Very hard for Benji or Brooks to manage the failures of our pigs.
