My hat is off to Parra i really thought Brisbane would have done a job on them tonight. They just played Brisbane off the park. A bit of a worry though that being that dominant they still had 34 points put on them.

Realistically, not that happy with the amount of points we let Brisbane score, there were some soft tries in that.

That being said, it was a high intensity game and we did lose a couple of players, on top of a 10-2 penalty count against us, with Brisbane being the best attacking side in the comp...so points were inevitable and it was good to see Brad Arthur was furious at that last try.

Not a perfect win but it still felt pretty f**king good
High intensity?

Honestly don't think Parramatta will take too much out of that game, they didn't have to get out of first gear and half their try's came from dropped ball.

A team that has had 50 scored against them has never won the GF
To be perfectly honest,everything went horribly wrong on a night were nothing really went Brisbane's way,and everything Para did,turned to gold.

This game is an example of the loser having a dog's breakfast of a night rather than Parra being superb.

Parra made most of their chances and won well granted,but Brisbane had one of those games were the coach says to the team forget about it,go away,and have a few beers and be ready on Monday for training.

Yeah it was definitely high intensity. From us anyway, BA said earlier in the week that we'd go out there and try and out enthuse Brisbane and we definitely did that. Brisbane tried as well but they were well off their game tonight.

Yes, I bet they cant wait to face the team that has ended their season the last two years running..

Can't fix mental weakness.

It'd be interesting to know the last time a team scored so much and lost.
Knights have been involved in a few.

Something like 38-34 they lost to the eels back in 04,

Then they won on a similar scoreline againsy the titans one year.

Won 70-32 against the raiders in 06.

And there was also a pretty high scoring game against penrith that they led 24-0 and penrith ended up winning.

Edit: they lost the titans one 38-36
