Eventually you lose to a better squad. Pick 6 players from the Brisbane squad you would swap for our squad. If the result is Nill, then we lost by being too tired or just by bad luck. We did well to get the result we finished with.
GWS was a dead rubber where we went through the motions last round. Just ignore that one. We played 2 of the hardest contested sides in brutal games to get to the PF and got pretty banged up. Then had to follow that with a trip to the Gabba. I'd have been happier playing the Saints and Port, hitting a Melbourne PF in much better shape. I reckon then we beat the Pies. We lost away at the Gabba banged up and cooked, by just 16pts. So, no, there's no.real gap. Easy to.look superior when the other sidebis knackered.
Just the way it works out sometimes.
