We then go to Melbourne for the semifinal.
And I thought we covered ourselves in glory that night.
I thought we were absolutely outstanding.
And we went within an inch of beating them.
I mean, intercept in the last minute of the play decides the game.
And we were busted.
We lost Crichton during the night.
We lost Chuala during the night.
We lost Forge during the night.
I thought our blokes were outstanding.
And we just had nothing left for the next week against Penrith.
We had players playing out of position.
Kick-out played with a fraction cheekbone.
Burton was playing in the centres.
We were cooked by that time.
But I don't think they got anywhere near enough credit for how they finished off the season.
I thought they were terrific.
Which led in to our confidence during the off-season now.
It was a shorter off-season because they had rep football at the end of last year.
We had a compressed off-season because we were leading into Vegas.
