Umpiring - I don't want to go there, but the numbers don't lie: we had 3 frees in three quarters of the game. That is just ridiculous.
As it stands right now. We're 10th.
Nowhere to hide I'm afraid 😨
Perhaps our biggest challenge, should our injured players be match fit as propsed, will be cohesion. Thus connection. When that’s lacking we lose confidence in our plays, hesitate, and increase pressure on ourselves.
One of the biggest pieces of nonsense sprouted by players and coaches is this rubbish about “One soldier out, next soldier in.”
It might work for the Russian Army… but it sure doesn’t work for us.
Not with our current list of injuries.
A ‘good soldier out’ puts an additional burden on your better players who have to carry an extra load.
It puts an additional burden on your fringe players who lose support from, not only the missing player, but also the star players.
Roles change
Structures change,
Your prime movers are covered more easily.
Players carry injuries into games through necessity.
What we saw last night was the cumulative effect of a series of hard games, and missing players.
It takes a toll, and unfortunately it may not be a short fix.
We’ll get players back…but I suspect we’ll also lose some.
We'll bring in a couple more underdone next week too. Motlop and Saad will be ready.
All those injuries plus blokes playing still underdone.We'll bring in a couple more underdone next week too. Motlop and Saad will be ready.

History repeating itself.
