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...
