" we play from defence"...now you tell me what that means..... but the fans don't mind... they just want a win...a win at anycost... they will kick for post whole day...wont score tries - just for a win.... fans are happy if teh team wins with "ugly" play... tomorow they lose with teh same play then they are sad/mad???? i don't get it...i'm the type of fan that will take a good loss vs a crappy win.... eg.. i think teh saders had a very very good loss... i take my hat off to teh guys... cuz i understand that they lost because of all teh travels within 3 weeks to 3 continents.... i understand they were tired...they wasted a lot of oppertunities...which was very unlike them...fitigue showed....so i'm not worriedall these factors played agasint them yet....the reds struggle against them having a fit team....etcALL BLACK YOU BEAUTY!!!!!!icemn out <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
