Damn Bryce Cartwright is over rated. If he didn;t have that last name he would of been dropped a long time ago

Coaching performance was terrible from Griffin. Taking Katoa off when he looked the most dangerous for Wallace when he got out of the hia and then when may came off putting cartwright in the halves when he should of put katoa to hooker and wallace to the halves. Cartwtight is not a half, not even a first grader in my books

Garbage football tonight, but I think the best refereed so far this finals series. This year is definitely the worst standard of competition I've ever seen.
The game had no intensity lots of stop start. Not sure how that penriff player wasn't sent to the sinbin
Did the same as Maloney held the broncos player back.

It's certainly a dark, melancholic feeling knowing we were in the position to achieve the unprecedented by winning back to back premierships, only now do I understand the bitterness of Cowboys fans after last year's preliminary final.

Nevertheless, it's certainly a bitter disappointment I'd rather experience than not if that makes sense.

We are about to relinquish our title, however it's ours to do so.

Same goes for every previous winning team since 98 (was it)
Was only there thinking last night you look at both codes and how hard it is dogs didn't make the 8 swans booted last night us last week, shows how good the storm are and what a unbelievable life changing moment as a sharks supporters last year was.

Jesus everyones being dramatic. We lost out in the finals early. Like every other year. We played this season without 2 of our best in our premiership year. We were always gunna be pushing **** up hill. We lacked polish, control and discipline.

We were good enough to win it again, but seemed like they just expected it to harken rather than put in the hard work.

Exactly. Effort let us down a few times this year. We proved we can defend. We finished 5th but had the second best defense. The most penalised stat is weird cos we give a away a lot of deliberate penalties to slow the pace down. Shame our attack couldnt click.

Find it funny Lewis said we'd rather finish 5th and avoid storm til the gf.....worked out well

Not bothered who wins this... found myself cheering to hard against the broncos last night was real draining.
