We lost a lot of close games last year. The season would have quite different if we could have pulled off a win similar to Souths last night.
In the second half they making a lot less metres than the Dolphins. They managed to hang in there until the Dolphins made a mistake and managed to capitalise. You could even say the first game was similar the Knights weren't great and the Tigers were getting a lot of calls but they managed to win.
May not be at your best but you manage to win.
A few teams haven't looked great. Let's hope our performance looks worse due to the big occasion. It is going to be a long year anyway as even if things go well our halves will likely be up and down.
