a dads army won the rugby world cup somehow. but I dont think that could ever happen in league, more high quality performance is needed all around
I have watched the grandfinal many times (10+ I have the dvd) and both teams choked in the grand final, a heap of drop ball and the total of points scored was equal to what each team practically averaged all season. I gotta say the roosters choked a bit more and the dogs were better with the kick chase and more composed in attack and defence and were the better team. in the 2nd half when the game was one. the roosters were trying their asses off that whole 2nd half but they were never going to score.
If the roosters were as defunct as you say they were, the score would of been similar to when willie tonga dropped three tries on hodges. I know I wouldnt of watched the GF again if the dogs of lost, so maybe you want a run down from someone who has
hodges is a cat and he helped a long way to you losing the GF. cayless went missing up front and fitzgibbon had basically zero impact on the game. freddy was practically doing everything and mini ran a bit too far and turned over too much possession. Walker was a pratt and despite a good try early on, was a complete waste of space, especially when his opposite number utai made him look like a fool all night and scored two tries. Finch needs more work on his kicking game, he was quite ineffectual, so was sherwin a bit, but thurston came on and did well kicking as well.
Im not sure how you draw comfort from what you wrote, cause a loss is a loss either way and the better team on the night won. every single person aside from rooster supporters (and without a blue and white axe to grind) agree that the best team won on the night
. But I suppose if your a queenslander you can be forgiven for not working that out :lol:
