Behind a dominant forward pack and surging defensive line he put up a lot of accurate bombs. A combination of Souths errors and great defence turned those bombs into repeat sets and territorial dominance which he proceeded to do nothing with.

I dunno, credit for what he did well (accurate bombs) but that’s a depressing vision of elite halfback play to me.
But how often does a halfback light up a GF?

I can think of Keary in 2018. Cronk 2012.

It's not often but in such tense affairs it's generally that one play that makes all the difference, or as it was tonight, death by a thousand paper cuts.

Murdered by Ivan Cleary and his disgustingly negative tactics. May she Rest In Peace.
Do you know that you'd be saying this if Rabbitohs won? Or is the self awareness beyond you?

That should be Rabs last call, the senility has really set in, the comment that we are at the 76th minute mark of the game when the clock was showing 73.41 minute mark ( or something very close to it ) then he almost lept into the father son thing from 1991 , luckily he only got as far as saying father then they got it right just after saying 2003
