we smashed them in the first quarter then inexplicably let them back into it, almost as though we'd done our job and should spend the rest of the night protecting our lead.
what has happened to our killer instinct? why did we stop attacking?
why did we take our foot off their throats?

We say that last week when we got to 60 points in front.
Then shut up shop.
and allowed the Scum to peg it back to 42.
No killer instinct.
Negative mindset.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

perhaps we could get GT to speak to them on a consultancy basisEnrico_Misso wrote:Is Rudi Webster still alive ?
in all seriousness it was as though at quarter time we thought "this is too good to be true. we can't be this good. surely they are going to come back at us."
it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. the self-doubt kicked in and the they piled on goal after goal. we looked shell-shocked and brittle.
to me it is a mindset thing. rather than increasing our lead we seemed intent on defending it.
next time we're in the same situation we should put our foot on the accelerator, not the brake.
