Felt the officiating was ok. I thought we were due a few penalties coming out our end in the first half but to be fair we got away with an awful lot too.
The forward pass - to put it simply if the officials are not in the right position it's not going to be called. I've said for a long time there is no reason not to rule on blatant forward passes. I hope this is the catalyst for the NRL to reach a consensus how to eliminate that from the game.
As for the winning and losing of the match, unfortunately that's on us. We couldn't wrap up the ball and they owned us in the middle. You just aren't going to beat them if you concede 24 first half points. And especially if you can't even kick a goal - 4 tries to 3 at half time but needing 3 scores to get a lead - that's our own hand brake.
We know our weaknesses, looking forward to hopefully some strike out wide through RTS next year. Webby too has a bit to work on with his bench rotations, where on earth was Curran for 65 minutes of the game?
What a great season it has been, and totally unexpected.
Now we get to see how we play with expectation next year. I expect us to play this game again next year, and hopefully in Auckland!
