Bit of a late reaction to the game because I went out straight after the game to celebrate. Got pretty hammered and have a very sore head this morning hahaha.
But man, oh man, it's all worth it and I am so frigging happy today after last night!! Through to the Prelim!! Our fifth consecutive Prelim!! That is simply incredible. No words can describe it. Everyone wrote us off mid-year, our own fans, myself included, started to question things but now look at us. We are potentially just 80 minutes away from a Grand Final. Could not be prouder, I had tears in my eyes at full time.
It was a great performance from our boys, without being great if that makes sense. Our completion rate was terrible, and our execution was very off at times. However, the desire and heart that was on show was simply outstanding. And despite not being at our best, we were too good for the second placed Sharks. Gave them nothing and completely outplayed them.
The defence especially was just incredible for mine. It was like a wall against one of the best attacking sides in the comp. They scored a try off a kick (which we couldn't do much about) and another off an error from us but that was it! Aside from that, we held them out every time. Plenty thrown at us, plenty turned away. That was all heart and desire!
And while we left a lot out there, the attack was still humming when we needed it too. The boys stood up and got the job done. Right side stole the show last night, some beautiful play.
Part of me can't believe it but part of me fully expected it! Either way, so happy and so proud. We are coming!!!!!
