Well you and I are different.
I don't accept those reasons - as a one off of yes for sure, you'd be totally correct and i'd be wrong.
This is a pattern of results though not just this year, many and frankly we were extremely lucky to win either game this year.
I'm not sure what you mean by not accepting those reasons? They're objective truths. We had 3 blokes leave the game and not come back due to injury. Powell has had pubis issues and has struggled to get over 70% TOG this season. Cunnington was playing his first game in over a year and a half. None of this is subjective opinion.
I totally understand your frustration with second half fadeouts, but from all reports, our strength and conditioning team was overhauled and we should hopefully reap the rewards of that soon - it won't happen in a season. Additionally, we're consistently fielding one of the youngest and least experienced sides weekly - these guys just aren't battle-hardened, experienced or fit enough.
