Call it or leave it

We've all had those moments on the field, right? That one where you think you were fouled/picked/double teamed and didn't call it. What did you do? Did you start getting into a shouting match with the other team? No. You walked away, learnt your lesson, and reminded yourself that if you believe you are wronged you call it. Well, maybe some people need a refresher in that course after the Cobras/Dojo game last night. People from both teams. Perhaps a new post on the Dojo blog that now is looking as active as the Buggers blog?

That being said, it was one small blip on the radar that was a hotly contested match last night. When it was all said and done, all parties involved agreed that it should either been called and discussed, or left alone, then shook hands and congratulated each other.

The Dojo got up in this game 15-10 to reach the half way stage of the season undefeated, and the Cobras suffered their 2nd ever defeat to sit in 3rd place for the season with a 2-2 record.

The real difference in this game? Option taking by the Cobras. With most of the Cobras tall timber sitting at home/Sydney/Canberra with either work commitments or other pussy-related injuries, the Cobras needed to play a quick game against a much taller opponent, but failed to put this into action.

The handler heavy Dojo worked the disc well all night and punished any mistake taken by the Cobras. A mid-game black out resulting in a field change also didn't help the Cobras, who would have taken the game on what has become their favourite field. That being said, the Cobras do remain undefeated on all games played and completed on field 3B. Yeah 3B!

The Cobras now don't have a game for 4 weeks due to a training week, a bye week, and a week off for AUG, which really is just the LD's way of showing UQ some love. They need it after all, with both UQ teams fighting it out for the half way stage wooden spoon last night with Lovers getting the win after finally getting all their main guys in the field and getting their rookies improve and an exponential rate.
