I hear many opinions that we are likely to wilt towards the end. However I see it as just as likely that towards the end, if we are close, it is Souths that will be feeling the pinch. Both physically and mentally. The pressure on their players will be immense and could easily lead to some errors. Don't underestimate the mental aspect of fatigue. Our experienced team should have an edge in mental toughness.
I saw an old finals match on fox with us as raging favourites against a 'tired, battered, and outclassed' bunny outfit. We skipped away to 14-nil, but they came back with a couple of tries from bombs. Next minute they had the momentum, grew another leg and won the game. These things happen in footy. Boot could be on the other foot this time 😀
