Do you recall the first time we had the ball? We were impotent! Several soft hit-ups that were punished by the Sharks' defence before Bryant coughed the bal up. If that wasn't a case for Heckenberg's re-instatement, nothing was. (Did anyone notice how many dumb penalties King gave away too?) And how about the 32 year old Stevens rumbling straight through the middle of us for a try.
It was obvious from the very beginning that either the Sharks had been steroids all week or we just weren't trying. When we had the ball we were going backwards, I remember the commentator at one stage saying that in 2 tackles we had a negative gain of -1 metre. Beaver was getting picked up and driven backwards. They monstered us in defence and we just didn't respond.
Did laurie say that - I said the same thing to my missus at 54 nil - he is a far better judge than i heve given him credit for
