Lots of hard pills to swallow because that game was there for the taking.
Big effort with zero return.
Tough loss. Now get into recovery and harden up for the rest of the season. If rotation isn't learned by anything other than injury we have to take responsibility for injuries like Charnze who has been cooked for ages.
Quite gutsy but let's be honest, this is one of those games that got away. We were all over these pricks before all the injuries happened. But even then, we had the chances to win this game. I daresay, SJ would have nailed one of those shots. AFB has every right to be pissed off at CHT after his 20m+ pcms the play before gave him a sitter 20m out that he missed.
I'd be okay with golden point if the competition points were adjusted to account for it. You traditionally get 1 point for a draw. Then we go to golden point and the team that wins get the same points as the side that gets it done within the 80 minutes.
Then also the team that loses ends up with the same competition points as a team that loses within the 80.
I know the argument if a golden point loser gets 1 and the winner 2 means some games are worth more points but they could also make each game worth 3. Then a draw is still 1-1. Gould gets hot about this as it has been like this for 100 years. I'd argue changing it would make the race to the finals interesting as we'd need a few years to figure out how much points teams would need.
The Warriors are the only team that seems to get penalised when the bunker retrospectively puts a player on report 1, 2 or even 3 tackles later. It never happens in any other game.
