Not quite sure what I watched.
An amazing 25 minutes, took a drinks break and then we fell into a horrible black hole. (May need to test if there was anything in that water!)
That said the Force boys did not do too badly under the circumstances, Donno and Tizzano the best of the quartet with Williams and Stewart good steady performances.
It was hard to comprehend what was happening so as usual I went back to the stats to get clarity to make the comment I have made in regards to the way our boys played.

Simon Cron: “People talk about winning and losing all the time and they are critical, but there’s a process to get into and it’s the ability to stay present, do your job and execute skills under pressure.”
Oh that's it he's no good for sure...
In capturing as a stat, is account given for the tackle enabling the next man in to stoppage, or just purely if the tackler stopped the attacker?
With Stewart, I noticed several attempts did enough t allow the second man in to effect the ruck, but had Stewart not made the hit the attacker would have been away.
I suspect the ones I noticed would have been called missed tackles, but I would one-eyed call them "missed but effective"?
"Bloody oath we did!"
