Re: did the crowd of invaders cost us
I agree. I thought the Lions weren't the same team as 2001-2003. Probably makes losing the Prelim even worse.Furphy wrote:Are you kidding?

Re: did the crowd of invaders cost us
So many of the Lions players were carrying injuries. I can recall reading that the medical team had used an exceptional amount of pain killing jabs to get many players on the field. Yep I'm sure we would have beaten them had we got over Port.remboy wrote:I agree. I thought the Lions weren't the same team as 2001-2003.

Maybe the stoopid Saints supporters aren't to be blamed for running onto the oval and halting our demolition quarter on Port..................... maybe, just maybe, we should sheet the blame onto - the G Train - for kicking 100 goals

Good point Loris. G should have kicked his hundredth on the quarter time siren. Wouldn't have interrupted the game that way.loris wrote:So many of the Lions players were carrying injuries.

Re: did the crowd of invaders cost us
Wonder if Bake's old man joined the on-field invasion when Milney brought up his ton for Strathfieldsaye today in their Premiership win?
