Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3592638, member: 8255"] To be fair, it was a cracking game. The boys were doing well to keep it close at half time, they looked thoroughly overawed and were not playing like they had been. Penrith would have put 20+ on any other team in the comp the way they were playing - not a single fucking error until what, 60mins in? The lads came out after half time with the fire in the belly and settled a bit and put the foot down like we KNOW they can. A few of us have been saying here since about halfway through last year that this team has a gear that no other team in the competition can match...and we saw it writ large in the GF, Ezra ripped that edge to fucking shreds, and it was glorious. Unfortunately after that I think they got a little comfortable and complacent and thought they had done enough...coupled with the fatigue from the first half defending, and the 40-knot wind in our face, and Penrith had enough experience to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat. I really hope that is the thing that turns the light bulb on and we become fully ruthless this year. We showed it in the finals last year, we need to continue that. No mercy, to any other team, ever. The game isn't over until the final whistle and these boys have learnt that the hard way. I thought as a club we had put that to bed post-2015...to lose a second GF in similar circumstances is rough. I don't expect it to happen again in the next decade. [/QUOTE]
