Living Life on the Edge - Discussion
I have been reading the MRO thread re- the Crozier situation with a lot of interest.
Here's my take.
Good teams live life 'on the edge'. If there aren't a couple of incidents each week that are *on the edge* of being reportable, well, a team isn't playing well.
I have read all of the back and forth about the Crozier incident - I don't have a feeling either way and wasn't surprised to see he had been charged. Equally, had it been let go, I wouldn't have been surprised.
Playing 'on the edge' of the rules is an important part of being a good side. You need to be prepared to TRY and make that spoil even if you *might not quite get there*...and you should be desperate to finish tackles with your opponent ON THE GROUND.
Good teams have players getting reported semi-regularly and it is - to me - the cost of taking care of business.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
