Okahu Game 8 - Bridgeport Turbos

Having skipped Game 7 due to bad weather, we lost our first game out at the bays to a top team composed of random people from random team that have beaten us in the past. We scored in the opening minutes when Kerhan darted in and gave the ball for Chris to dive on.

But after that.... some things just couldn't click for us.

No quickies worked, no cuts worked.... simply bereft of the ability to change our game plans we watched Jimmy Dai try three of his trademark Waikatos in a row, all of which went to waste, three of Stuart's cuts drop the ball onto the ground (in a row), and a whole heap of forced passes from all of us.

What the hell? It started raining sure, but both teams got affected by it. They nailed three tries on us - two through poor counting on defence and one from a paralysed Daniel at mirrors-time.

Without trying to steal credit from this good team, ours simply did not play anywhere near our potential, with extraordinarily poor execution.
