Yeah about that.

7 goals 15 behinds is my guess.

Billings will miss three from within 40 meters. But he will kick the most difficult attempt of the day.

the less behinds we score, the less worse it looks.
so we go on orders not to shoot unless it's a 95% certainty.
so i'm going for 4-7. A marked improvement!

Billings wont kick a goal.

I'm angry Jiggs.

Not enjoying it at all.

Just facing the harsh reality of it.

D’you think that I’m “ enjoying “ it? It’s one thing to “ face harsh reality “ ( I did just that last week in Tassie ) but it’s another thing to go on a fan forum and post SOME of the stuff that gets put up here. There again, if that’s what gets folk through it all, then fine I guess.

It’s a coping strategy. We had plenty of them in the 80’s before you graced our fine shores.

We are just instinctively reverting back to old habits!

self deprecating humour - used either by those successful enough to fake it and those who pretend to have come to terms with reality.

Whichever way you look at it, our kicking has been “on point”

I agree with most on here 7.14 is our standard now. i.e. every third shot on target is a goal. And that is in perfectly confined conditions. Good help us at the g

Wish Tim Watson addressed the boys at half time ... he would make more sense than Richardson's game plan
