Where's the beef

Joeys just played dumb footy. 19-7 up and then aimlessly kick the back to view who probably has the best 10 in the comp. Playing kicking wars with a better kicking side only ever goes one way.
View had a field day in the second half, the turning point was the try to view just on half time.
When joeys held the ball and ran straight and hard and not try double cuts and the like they looked like they would win. When they started the kicking it changed very quickly.
Same thing happened in 2nds with joeys nearly giving up their lead.
Well done view, pains me to say it but you were better today.

andSpot on, last few weeks Joeys centres kept powering over the advantage line (often after initial contact) setting up a good platform for multiple phases. Today Views centres stopped that very well. Then every time Joeys did get a few phases together we kicked it away, going for the miracle play. This seemed to force Joeys to go wide too early without earning the right to first. Joeys teams normally live and thrive on its superior fitness, but the lack of phases play meant a stop-start game.
Riverview we’re far more patient in attack with Dillon well in control, often off set plays they used grubber kicks behind the Joeys defensive line. This neutralised Jorgensen’s aggressive defence. Kicks that they’d get the ball back or make the tackle deep in Joeys half - and most of the second half was in Joeys half. All in all a decent game and Riverview well deserved.
Rather than keyboard warrior attack an 18 year old that clearly was playing though injury the whole game (because he doesn’t shake hands) focus on the rugby and a good win.
