Both their tries came from kicks, so it wasn't line-breaks that led to tries. Similarly, both our tries came from kicks too.

True finals footy.

I hope we get another shot next week.

That is the really sh*tty thing out of all of this. Just when the Warriors get the big media attention, we find a way to make people turn the TV's off and flip over the newspaper pages. The real war cry comes out "Typical bloody Warriors".

The media create all the hype and the build up, the crowds decide to turn up again. We lose and everyone gets hurt.

Maybe the pressure is too much.

Yep, Chris Rattue is already bagging league out. He would have been licking his lips, some here have said Craig Stanaway is a league detractor, but there is no harsher critic of league than Chris "I learnt how to write off the Fleet Street boys" Rattue.

I'm pretty sure Lauaki didn't get done for the back slam, it was for the swinging arm which connected with Marshs chin.

And if this doesn't prove how much of a legend Steve Price is then nothing will

Played 80 mins
220 m
34 tackles

Our defence was great but especially in the first half you could tell how nervous we were on attack.

Meh, at the end of the day it was one conversion that separted it all. We blew a few opportunities, but so did they. It was an intense game so you've got to expect a few mistakes in there. I do agree that we missed Manu big time. Byrne was awesome, maybe it was the beer but I thought he was the man last night. Granted i'd still rather have Jerome but if this is his replacement then i'm not going to lose much sleep over it.

On a brighter note, I saved my local bar a few dollars last night: I got there and was told "we're not showing the league tonight; sky sports isn't working" I cringed at the thought of having to go to "Jays bar and cafe" to watch it, but then casually pointed out that it was on Sky 1--not sky sports. The bartender was very happy; he'd been turning people away all night so I pretty much saved his ass hahah.

Yeah we did well considering we have an okay backline. Their backline have stars all over and we still managed to keep the score tight. Whats up with Witt now? He's been missing some easy goal attempts from his standards...Suspect of the WOBBLES from the finals pressure perhaps? Go the Sea Eagles, Storm and Cowboys!

He doesn't hit them well from that exact line... like 15m to the right hand side, that's where he struggles. Bangs them over from he sidelines, put him 16m to the right, 14m to the right he'll be sweet... but about 15m, no good.
