They shouldn't have though. Some of those lads played in the first team last season when we were ripped up with injuries (11 out together at one stage, which included some young guys brought in as subs for injured first teamers). Those lads on Sunday were grand final runners up in the reserves comp last season. They really had no business being so poor and I don't just mean in their performance. What was the penalty count against us? 13? And a sending off? They really should be embarrassed. The comment on the Saints website from the coaching staff is quite, er, to the point!
The rest of it obviously was outside our control but those lads should have made a better effort all round, especially where discipline is concerned and especially given that some of them are relatively-speaking quite experienced.
