this weekends result is turning out to be even better than the cup (final) win, the mickey boiling over the last 48 hours is on another level.
the revisionist history work on this match is a thing of beauty, the laundry list of things that if they hadn't gone against them, they would have beat us.
It's the same both ways though, surely you can see that. You are all talking as if you beat us by 60 and played us off the park. Had we finished off one of Taia's breaks in the last 10 minutes, this place would be full of threads about Chris Hill's captaincy and Price's future. Fine margins in sport.
The truth is neither side were in control of that game. We were awful for large parts of the game and yet in the last ten mintues we were 2 points down and we made multiple breaks in your half and just didn't finish them off. I said before the game that all the trophies this year are between those two sides and I'll stick with that. You've clearly got the edge over us in big games, so I'd have you favourites now but it's not like you're incapable of losing to someone else along the way and gifting the big prize to us.
