Exactly. Everyone contributes to sucess and failure. Senior has been panned on here for spilling a ball in our red zone. But who's idea was it to fire a ball 30m in those conditions. Same goes for the Hall knock on with a poor ball by McGuire.

Senior ball was out in front and in his hands. He really ought to have taken it, conditions or not.

Halls was over the back of his left shoulder and would've been difficult to take on the hottest, dry-est day in July!

But your overall point about the build up to scores is a very valid one.

Don't get me wrong the ball to senior was catchable, just like Burgess' offload to Ablett was catchable, doesn't mean it wasn't stupid to do though. The weather conditions should emphasis that.

Either was, it was Ablett, Senior, or Hall who got the vast majority of ire, when it was probably the players passing who were as much at fault
