Winning Ugly

Posted by Craig Marshall on June 6, 2014 at 10:02pm

Don't know about anyone else but winning ugly sure feels a hell of a lot better then losing

Yes the 2nd half was poor but we won and still have a lot to improve on.Seriously we should have scored at least 3 more tries and if Sandow had kicked better the score would never had been as close as it was.

The Parra of old would have lost that game

    Winning ugly doesn't win comps though. You have to be clean like a whistle.

    We didn't miss Lussick tonight either

    A wins a win, even if its ugly.

    Still got a lot of improvement and yet we won. That beats the crap out of the past 3 years

    It's always tough in situations like this, we could have easily won this game by 30+ points but didn't through the final ball, or didn't have a look, or went for a no look pass, or didn't show patients. Happy for the win, but if we played a team like Souths manly or storms, it would have been a different story

    I could see a repeat of the manly or tigers game tonight but thankfully they didnt. I guess you can say they have learnt from those losses but I think our defence has improved to deal with it. We still did some dumb things that you can't do and invited them back in. Even when we got the ball from the kick off which was brilliant why pass hold the ball and close out the game. Honestly that last 20 was comical but by some miracle we won but instead of being happy to win it was more just relief it's really strange.

    Lussick will be lucky to make it back imo, average first grader nothing more.

    They played as good as their competition. For the first time in a long time I didn't think we were going to lose at 40,50, 60 or 70 min. I d

    Cont. I think the boys believed that too. It's confidence in your defence that gave them the freedom to throw the odd loose pass. That wouldn't have been there if they truly felt threatened. Well done boys. Great win. Positive footy.
