I don't think we need to reaching for the panic button just yet.
If you look at yesterday's game, lots of things went against us.
Firstly the weather. The wetter it is, the more the effect of mobile forwards is negated. Guys like Choc, Ferris and Gift (even though he didn't play) need to put footwork into their runs and in the mud that's tough. Their big guys just had too much of a roll on and rucking it out of our own end was tough.
Second, the Tigpies had a gale at their backs and you really noticed how DCE struggled to get a lot of depth on his clearing kicks.
Couple this with the fact that we turned over a lot of ball, were penalised something like 5-1 in the first 30 minutes and what happened was always going to be the most likely result. We played the ball for the first time inside their 20 at the 35 minute mark.
I think we just shrug and accept that we just couldn't overcome all of this and move on to the Sharks. Let's hope we get dry, fast conditions at Brookie this week.
