Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3046251, member: 1899"] I spent the entire year thinking the Eels would get shown up once Brisbane got all their stars on the field. They were playing well, but they didn't have to deal with the dramas other teams had to and come finals time they were going to meet the best teams with the best players on the field. When I found out Tallis didn't make the Grand Final qualifier, I accepted that it was the Eels season and watched the grand final just to let the visual seep it so when the Broncos beat them the next year it would be that much sweeter. I don't think it crossed my mind that Newcastle had an excellent side in their own right and were more than capable of blitzing the Eels. If you look at the teams on paper, it's a shock that anybody was surprised, but we all were. In a losing side, I thought PJ Marsh was excellent. He was lightening out of dummy half and had a fearlessness to him unlike so many other hookers. It was a crying shame he picked up that neck injury and it just makes you wonder how good the Warriors could have been if he stayed healthy. When he signed with Brisbane, I must admit it went a fair way to filling the hole that Berrigan left in the team. I knew he was well past it, but I never forgot how good he could be on his day. Otherwise the season itself is really foggy to me. I don't think it emotionally resonated as much with me as the Origin series did. The entire build up was like something out of a movie and those two wins by Queensland are among the best I've witnessed. [/QUOTE]
