While we didn't execute well our resolve was strong tonight, and it was a better effort than we gave against Cronulla.
Most things went Illawarra's way:
Jurbo knocked out early.
100-metre intercept try by Sloan
Down to 12 men when Sippers was marched.
Brooks denied a winning try
Lost the penalty count, at home!
The stats show we ran for more metres than Illawarra.
I actually thought we'd lose by more. Down our two premier props, although TKO has taken over well. And no Turbo.
All in all, I expected a loss. But if Turbo is back next week we will beat Penrith
