Losing all those players, the heat, playing the best side in the comp. This was always on the cards. Make a few errors and you're going to be severely punished and we were. It reminded me of the cup game in some ways.
Looks like we're in for a tough few weeks unless we can bring in a halfback for a decent period of time.

Against York, we looked good, in control. But we had 4 players with current/recent SL experience- Brough, Murphy, Golding, Wilson who were all then lost for Fev.
That forced us to use fringe players that JK doesn’t seem to trust. But the positions don’t work. We used our best FB as an average half. We then used our best winger as an average FB. We put our shortest winger up against one of the tallest & most experienced wingers in the comp. Add in the heat, couple of unlucky injuries again , no wonder we couldn’t do ourselves justice.
Ultimately though, these Fev games don’t matter. The one in the playoffs does. This group have shown enough to get to the playoffs I think.
