It depends what you mean by brilliant. We didn't play brilliantly. We were knackered and wounded and we panicked here and there. We worked bloody hard and those last 15 minutes were tremendous. So ... if you're putting today's match in the same bracket as Friday's in terms of quality of rugby league then I would strongly disagree. The two were miles apart. Effort? Determination? Sheer bloody minded never-say-die attitude with a ballsy final kick from Jamie Foster who would be my hero if I was anything like young enough? Oh yeah, definitely in the same bracket. Not a brilliant game, but a brilliant effort. And I was yelling and jumping up and down and shouting encouragement for those last 15 minutes as much as everyone else was.

So stop being snotty.
