The last time I enjoyed a loss this much was that game against Melbourne in 2008. And that level of enjoyment was even before that unbelievable fightback, very nearly 18 points in the final 9 and a bit minutes. What a difference to last year's surrenders.
So much to love about the game, what the players showed, the prospects, the application, the guts. Foran, Buhrer, Robinson continue showing development in their game and capabilities. Oldfield reminding me of Daniel Gartner's running game. DCW continuing to show he's not out of his league.Â
Souths are strong, they were hot, almost everything clicked for them, the penalties and decisions and play favoured them, and yet the result was not decided until the final kick swung away.
Prospects everywhere. And we haven't even seen the likes of Lussick and Cunningham brought up yet.
