It's just such a shame that a group comes into attack every single little thing that Brooks either does or doesn't do without regard to accuracy. It is a pile on and it comes form the same quarter almost constantly.
It is even sadder to see other more reasonable posters slowly get pulled down into the mire. Take out the Tamou penalty and subsequent try and the game is almost total domination from the starters and likely 17 members.
After some early hiccups our defence was outstanding and our spine combined well on it's first outing. They put up the exact same kick as 90% of others across the competition, control the field position, create numerous opportunities through the middle and get stopped near the line by desperate defence from a highly regarded unit. Defence that we praise our own for keeping the 'better' opposition players from scoring, yet still get unnecessarily lambasted.
Then to cap it off, threads like this are created when we should be focusing on a pretty good effort from a side similarly depleted as the opposition and with a spine that comments on here show most/many would swap in a heartbeat.
