54% possession, 68% completions, 10 line breaks and 13 offloads against us, 35 missed tackles from a Melbourne side missing Munster and Grant including a runaway try against the run of play and a sin bin.
Despite the above, Doueihi could have made it 18-6 by passing inside to Bula to score under the posts, but it seems he has rediscovered his hero syndrome and wanted to try and burn Paps on the outside instead of the easy lay up for Bula to score. Instead of just bombing the try, he also lost the ball. For those that have played footy, you know how demoralising it is to your team when a team mate turns a certain try into a handover. The game changes in that moment.
I think Doueihi offers a lot in attack, but he also has moments where he hogs the ball and stifles attacking plays. He urgently needs to work on that.
The only positive is we made 7 line breaks ourselves and parts of the attack looked better.
