Rayner is overrated and the sooner we get him fit and play him in a role that he is capable of rather than swing him around the ground naively thinking he's capable of doing something the better off he and the team will be. It cost us dearly yesterday.
Coleman had leather poisoning but just wasn't getting the penetration from his entries that he got last week because we played more risk off footy for fear of making a mistake. It's not surprising that he got tired in the sun ,though he struggles to keep up the intensity good and all as he is.
Cal had the legacy of a corkie , it's also not surprising that Sidebottom and Daicos outran Bez and Jaspa who as yet aren't in the same class but they're the best we had.
General fitness is an area we can improve on I suppose. We get away with it at the Gabba but the MCG is a different proposition on a warm day. I think the majority of our guys ran it out , Oscar was gassed but understandably so ,needed more backup , and we could easily have pinched it. Not to be.
