It was sad to see someone lose and in the fashion the premiers did. LOL at any so called rugby league fan who laid the slipper into the Cowboys last night.
Reigning premiers making a preliminary final is not mean feat and although they bowed out so meekly their fans should be proud of them getting so far given what they've been through to get there.
Cronulla were primed and ready to go. I wish them all the best in the Grand Final and I hope they enjoy the week and don't let anything lose their focus.
There is no shame in losing to a fine team at the top of their game. There is a little bit of shame, however, in the manner we meekly surrendered with some very poor errors.
Unfortunately that is the story of our season. If we completed sets like Melbourne or Cronulla do we would be playing on GF day.
But as you say it was a very good season coming off a Premiership. With the quality of young players in our squad I.e Hess, Ponga, Taumalolo, Chudleigh, you will understand when NQ supporters are optimistic of further success in the years to come.
