Just remember the old saying that a teams worst and best performances can often be a week apart( either way). I hope that’s right but not feeling it just yet, I’ll wait to see the team tomorrow !
They were getting on the front foot in attack from the beginning of the game, the physical defense that was putting opposing teams on their backsides or on the injury list was missing from the start of that game. I'm not being critical of the middles as they still did a great job getting us back downfield in the first half, i just think we were below our best in defense for the whole game and it just snowballed in the second half. That's why Benji called it out, not that they were bad in the first half, just that they were not at the level they have been previously. And yes, they should kicked early, i.e on the second and third tackle to turn the sharks around and get us up field. I would even take a kick that goes dead so we can at least set our line.
