18-10 to Burleigh kick to come.

Commentary box absolutely willing the Dolphins home.

 

[Stewbum]

Sigh.....

 

[The Partisan]

Another good final in my opinion.

Burleigh deserved winners; Redcliffe gallant in defeat.


All the best to the Bears in next week's National Championship.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Terrific game, high quality and deserved premiers. Well done Burleigh!

Redcliffe losing took the edge off the Colts disappointment.

Good match without being a classic.

It did lack atmosphere with the supporters of both teams very quiet until the Burleigh lot got excited once they had it won. Fogerty took a conversion kick from the sideline in front of the crowd and you could have sworn it was a tennis match given the silence of the crowd. Wouldn't have happened when Norm Clarke, Wayne Stewart or Peter Lobegeiger were lining one up. Their parentage was questioned in those days......

Everything is becoming sanitised. Soon you won't be allowed to criticise the officials or the other team........might be time then to give it away.

 

[Up the mighty Phins]

Sigh.....

Sigh.... Indeed

Third grand final loss in a row but Burleigh were too good in the end.

After the Nichols try, I thought the game was there for the taking for Reddy if they could get another one. But the Bears repelled those advances and Cullen's try was the clincher.

 

[XXXX Cap]

Redcliffe didn't seem to have anyone to make the big play when it mattered. Their last tackle options were average on numerous occasions and they just didn't run hard enough at Burleigh when they had them on the back foot.

 

[expansionist]

I thought Redcliffe could have won it - they in my opinion seemed to lack belief in themselves, and never took opportunities that presented themselves outwide.

Any number of times i though Redcliffe had big overlaps out wide, and could have gone one pass wider to beat Burleigh on the edges, but always turned it back in on the inside.

I dont know if this is a coaching thing or a halves lack of vision thing, but Burleigh invited them outside and they never took it,
