We came back a bit but not enough

We outscored them after the Brooker tackle in the first. (Rugby girl can really tackle - news at 10)
I'm pretty sure at one point they showed a pressure rating graphic where we were above the range of the chart, and Melbourne were higher still.
For the second week in a row we've played pretty well but have been outclassed by the top teams in the comp

Yeah, it's unfortunate in such a short season.

It almost feels like they should do a biennial premiership, play half a season at a time if they only want a dozen games a year
