Just finished watching the game again. IMHO in was only skill errors that cost us, no more complicated than that. Critical skill errors at that, and from people who should know better... a few howlers from Simmo and Kerridge who were both, otherwise, very good. Attitude, intensity, game plan... all good. We certainly didn't embarrass ourselves which many 'experts' predicted.
Probably O'Shea's best game for us thus far.
Cuningham is just about confirmed as Kane Lucas Mk III. What a waste of sublime talent.
SOJ imposed himself on the contest though tired somewhat in the second half... he'll only improve further as he builds his tank and strength.
O'Brien needs time in the twos.
If we continue and build upon that approach and intensity, and with some experienced blokes back, I reckon we'll win a few in the back half of the season... and how you finish a season is really important.
