After a day of bottling wine yesterday and plenty of time to chat about the weekends rugby it is clear there are two ways in which to look at the Force's last game. It appears that some are frustrated at our lack of progress and some who are impressed by how well we are going, count me in the later.
Maybe I'm being one eyed but I can't see the critics point. Yes, the Force will have to improve but what else can you expect from a team that have only played 2 matches. And, I admire the way in which Mitchell is going about his job. Penalties were not taken because that is the way he sees us progressing quickly. If we'd kicked all the penalties how much effective play time would our boys have had. This way he is maximising game time for the boys with a view to us becoming genuinely competitive by mid season. Short term sacrifice for a long-term benefit I suggest.
What is worrying at present is injuries. It's always been one of our highest risk areas, as it will take years to develop the depth in our squad that is needed in this competition. This is the one area where we do need a bit of luck, but so far the gods have not been kind to us.
The only thing us supporters can do to help the team is turn up to the games and always be positive.
Go the Force.
