Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

Yes I remember when they did so against us a few years back.

The poo poo part is they endlessly replay the Dwyer hit with a minute to go and forget that we lost the next scrum against the head and gave up a ridiculous field goal and lost in Golden point

I still maintain that was an illegal hit and bordered on a sendoff offence.

On nowadays standards it certainly would have been a penalty which would have ended the game for us right there, but at the time? He fell into a shoulder, and it was called as per the norm.

Parramatta have done their traditional finals half time job.

If you're behind, have some beers to commiserate. If you're ahead, have some to celebrate.

Either way, get shafted in the second half.

I wouldn't have had a problem with him getting binned for that elbow.

If a player's "injury" stops the game, they should be forced to leave the field.

True, but still. Maybe they should do the soccer thing where if play has to stop for you you're taken off the field until the ref calls you back on.
