Random thoughts....
OK Adelaide were good when they had the ball and our defence was just not working. Seemed to lack urgency and asleep a lot. No real screening by midfield. Has Reira got any brothers, uncles, grandfathers? As this goes on his significance becomes clearer and clearer.
But we got the ball at times as well. What happened? Sloppy passes - giving it away way more than Adelaide did. Combine that with no luck at all in some nice tries at threading it through up front and it adds up to a very bad day.
Recovering from this slump will be the true test of this season - I know we beat WSW but we were in the same slump in the first half.
Adelaide are such chronic divers - Boxall's yellow was a joke when he pulled off a great cut out and the guy he beat just threw himself into the air. And Jeronimo still = diver - you'd think the refs might cotton on one day...
Gotta love those commentators = Muscats elbow evil deliberate / Elrichs elbow (breaking a cheekbone) was accidental and he's really a top bloke cos they've met him and he'll surely be the first to apologise. GEEZ
Its been one of those night where you wonder WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF? But it will pass (I just wish the team we could pass a bit better as well)
