We've had players go out in the last five minutes and get knocked out or get injured and come from the field to play.

That game was 12 all with not long to go.

We were still in it with five minutes to go.

They scored a couple of tries late, which made it look worse than it was.

But with the team we put there on the night, I thought it was a pretty valiant effort.

And we were one pass away from maybe getting to the front there at one stage.

I don't think that was an embarrassment against the Cowboys.

I think you're reading too much into strategy in teams.

I think teams pretty much play the same style every week.

And that's what they do.

It did.

So that's why I'm thinking is this purely to beat… Several of those players were missing in the ensuing weeks.

And the flow of the game went for us too.

Sometimes it doesn't go that way.

That's a coaching issue.

That's not my issue.

What do they know about Adam O'Brien's history?

Yeah.

So Adam O'Brien spent his first 10 years at the Melbourne Storm working in the academy program down there.

He ended up assistant coach and attacking coach for Craig Bellamy when they won a premiership.
