[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 390123, member: 39190"] Nah, JdJ is ore than able replacement for JdV. The reasons we lost; - Genia and Cooper have bigger boots than Grant and Aplon and pinned us in our own 22 - the fact that the majority of the game was played in our half meant that a penalty to the Reds meant 3 points while a penalty for us meant we could move 20 merters up field. - they negated our defense by sending the ball wide as fast as possible, getting ove the gain line out wide and getting numbers to the ball there faster. - we didnt adapt to the way the reds came to the break down and an inexperienced ref/linesman's handling of the game - they simply played with greater intensity and precision IE were better mentally prepared - also, our discipline was off and when the frustration creeps in and those 50/50 calls go against you... well, we simply didn't respond positively All these things go hand-in-hand and starts with the player's focus prior to the kick-off. We lost close games to Aus teams last year because of exactly these same things. We need to have a look at how to approach these situations. [/QUOTE]
