“We lost but didn’t get beat” : Sat Feb 03, 2018 12:00 am  

Is this double-speak ?

“I’m writing this post but there are no words

He’s a forward but no size and strength

I can coach but not teach

HDM is a newspaper with no context “


You gotta love HKR - always causing me great amusement here down under

Seriously though - how can you lose but not get beat ?

It's a distinction that Sheens drew ahead of last season. As he defines it...

You lose by conceding more points than you score. It happens.

Getting beat is where the opposition show more desire, energy, enthusiasm, spirit etc.
It shouldn't happen.

So on the plus side he's saying there was no lack of effort. Disappointingly Wakefield still ran out comfortable winners, despite us trying our best.

So I guess we need to significantly improve our precision and execution.

We got beat so it will not be the first time we need to make sure it is not to many time this season

6 tries to 1, at home, is a beating.
