Once up a time it was us who were labelled 'brave' in defeat. How many times did we see headlines, after losing a close one, 'Brave Blues.'
Only very good sides play below their best, even well below, and still find a way to win. 'Above the shoulders'... we are coming along nicely.
2 zip after the first two games, if most of us are honest with ourselves, we probably figured on 1-1.
Individually, we had our fair share of blokes down, well down - Fantasia, Hollands, Cuningham. A large number of 'did their job' ...just. But then there were the blokes who really carried us and had exceptional moments - TDK, Saad, McKay, Kemp, Charles, Acres, Newman, Williams (that run down tackle late in the game to earn a free was just brilliant). Then, at the pinnacle, was Cripps and McGovern.
...and some pretty handy blokes to return in the coming weeks...

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
