This sort of overly negative opinions is probably one of Wests biggest weaknesses, I think we simply underestimated Easts today. The Boys would have had a lot on their minds, I expect nobody will be using it as an excuse for the on field performance, at the end of the day they are professionals and if anything I would have thought they would have been inspired to give a little extra, in some points of the game it sure as hell looked like it to me.
Iosefa had a couple of good runs, but looked a little out of place, it was good to see him get some minutes up and see what he could do with more confidence. Benji's bombs came up trumps a couple of timess, but I would have liked to see them a bit deeper.
I was surprised to hear that Sirro went in for knee surgery, I think it was just precautionary and not necessary, I think Sheensy was prepared to risk a loss in this game if it meant we'll stronger at the back end of the season.
Our biggest weakness was in defense, they carved us up the middle. A few bad decisions there and harsh penalties didn't make it any easier.
George, the saint.
