See I thought it became a distraction at the expense of winning the game and also off sided the umpires, and that we may have over corrected this week.
I think our coach and team may have arrived to a similar conclusion as me too.
In any case, we will learn from that, and this week might be a game of "bruise free" footy given where Brisbane are coming from.
Its true, and to go with that, I think we might have made too many changes to our "best 22" for last weeks game further upsetting the apple cart.
I thought the treatment of Lewis was measured and well within the rules. Docherty even received a free kick for his bone-jarring tackle on him. Of course, the pressure went off Lewis to some extent when Cripps was injured.
