Our inconsistency and our inability to do more than struggle against ordinary sides and our total incapacity to match the good sides, against whom we had been much more competitive the season before, needed analysis and explanation, but those who suggested that we should do so were cried down.
Then we got the one idea answer when everything went wrong followed by the unseemly attacks on our players, which went on for weeks.
And it's still going on. Rather than try to analyse what was going on last Sunday we've got various states of denial, because some don't want to admit all the causes of our failure, others just attack the player or players they have developed a set against.
Agreed. Sunday's game was a showreel of why we've failed over the last few years.
Some on BigFooty just dismiss all this as being rusty or Rd 1 blues, but 14 other sides got up for the round. Others look to our injuries, but even the mighty Brian lake wouldn't have been able to stem the tide on Sunday.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
