00:00 for long enough in most parts of the game.

00:03 I thought at stages there we looked like we were clawing it back in the second half and

00:06 the scoreboard was getting closer to on track but we weren't good enough with possession

00:14 in that first half particularly to put a bit of fatigue into the other team.

00:18 And they were very good players playing on the front foot which made it hard to claw

00:23 it back.

00:24 Good players with injury was part of it as well but overall we weren't able to defend

00:32 our goal line as well as we have in other games but part of that was the position we

00:38 put ourselves in.

00:39 So losing Tom and Ash, how are they and how much of a turning point do you think that

00:43 was?

00:44 They've both gone to hospital to get checked.

00:48 Tom has been feeling unwell after failing the HIA and Ash has got a possible cracked

00:56 rib so they've both gone to get checked out.

01:00 I don't know if that was a turning point but it certainly didn't help and we had to

01:05 dig deep last week.

01:08 We lost a few early in the game as well and had to dig deep and to a point to get back

01:13 to 16-8 and be in it there.

01:20 Probably not, we were probably on the poorer side of the two teams at that point but it

01:26 was close.

01:27 The scoreboard got close and there were a few opportunities there to really get into

01:33 it for an exciting finish but overall we just weren't good enough today.
