Souths got done, fair and square last night. Gotta say they competed strongly prob up until the 60 minute mark when at that point it was clearly game over. Souths also didn't have a week off, like us and have had many injury concerns, like us. The question is: why didn't we compete on Friday night? Because whatever spin gets put on our performance, we didn't compete. That's the elephant in the room.
At the 60 minute mark in our game Melbourne were leading us 20-12 – and it should really have been 16-12 due to that unbelievable decision to award Slater his try. We were still in it despite Storm enjoying probably about 70% of possession due to our errors, many on tackle 1.
So you got the wrong room, Baz, or maybe just the wrong elephant. We did compete, desperately, but in the end we gave them so much ball that we couldn't keep in touch with them any longer.
