Just reading some of the garbage excuses sprouted here re yesterdays game. I'm shocked that North Queensland are not being shown the grace by some fans for turning up to play yesterday. They did the only thing they can be asked to do - their best. They did it, and deserve their title shot more than Parra.
Forget bagging the Mackintyre system. ALL of the last 4 teams have copped their big floggings this year - Souths put 40 on Parra. The date aside, what's the difference?
Turning around a team from a 50 point flogging in a semi finals game into grand finallists in 2 games is a f**king awesome achievement by Graham Murray. It deserves to go down in history alongside Saints in '96 and the Dogs in '95.
Parra choked - pure and simple. They forgot they were a premiership favorite, and suddenly dragged out last years game plan. "Wags, run out of the defensive line and leave a gap that Amanda Vanstone could waddle through. Forwards, try and get to halftime without sweating. Tim, I know you are young, so I've invited Paul Cariage along to give you some kicking tips!"
Just like ther prelim finals of '98 and '99, and the GF of '01. The result was the same - only the players names have changed.
Parra can't blame the week off. We have won twice after byes this year. Saints have that excuse - 2 games in a month has to take it's toll. At least Saints fans can say that their team tried. Besides, the week off has been overcome by Folkes, Stuart, Bennet in the past. Why couldn't Parra?
Saints have a young coach who overcame a horror start to the year to take is side to premiership favoritism. Brian Smith took premiership favorites and made them into a pathetic rabble. Why the f**k was Nathan Hindmarsh not playing??? Wayne Bennet rushed Shane Webcke back from injury - and it almost worked. Parra needed Hindy's workaholic enthusiasm. But I'm glad his knee will now be right to walk from the kitchen to the barbecue next Sunday.
No doubt Denis Fitzf**ckhead will resign Smith for another 5 year contract.
Parra have no excuses - we only have ourselves to blame. Hell, I almost feel sorry for the Broncos for denying them the minor premiership, and a week off. What they could have achieved with that!
Grand finals are about teams with courage and heart. Wests and North Queensland are deserved combatents.
Congrats to North Queensland - don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve to be there. At least you are a blue and gold side with some bloody ticker!!!
