Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3576476, member: 8255"] I feel the same. I think for me, we lost 2015 with the lazy last 10 second defence on JT, letting him get the ball away. This year...we were beaten by a better team - we didn't lose it, they won. Well, Cleary fucking dragged the 2-time premiers kicking and screaming to the win, but anyway. I can accept that, I can't accept 2015 because we were the better team and had no right to lose. The fact it was the Cowgirls - of all the teams in the comp - also burns deep as well. Though to be fair to both teams, it was an epic GF and probably the best for a neutral observer until this year...funny how we're the team to feature in both stand-outs over the past 10-15 years... I agree with others that league is an amazing combination of action...athletes with incredible stamina...huge collisions that would put mere mortals in bed for a week...the sleight of hand of the likes of Walsh... And while it's repetitive in format, it's also unique - no two sets of six are ever the same. Unlike union where it's either ruck it up forever or play kick-it-back-and-forth. Or AFL where it's just boot it around the paddock and hope your guy catches it instead of the other guy. You can feel pressure building when teams get repeat sets. You can see the fatigue starting to show on defending teams getting slower and slower with their line speed, arm grabbing and dropping off tackles. Bench interchanges can completely change the flow of the game, can completely change the momentum. Hell the momentum swings in general... It's an exciting product, it really is. [/QUOTE]
