JAMAL IDRIS last night revealed the family heartache behind his thunderous battle with Timana Tahu at ANZ Stadium.
Asked to pinpoint the reason for his purple patch of form in recent weeks, Idris said: ''My dad has come back from Africa. Both my parents were at the game.
''Dad has been away for two or three months. He only got back a couple of weeks ago. It was in the back of my mind before that I'd be playing but my dad was in Africa. I hope he's proud of me. It was good to have him in the grandstand.
''He was just over there in Africa to see family. My grandpa died recently. He'd been very sick but my dad went over there to see him, and at least he got to see him before he died.''
Idris and Tahu were at each other's throats all night. At one stage the Dogs centre went to high-five Tahu but his Eels rival snarled, turned his back and stormed away. ''I tried to get him to give me a high-five but he left me hangin','' Idris said.
''We're good mates, but on the field, mates are nothing. We just got stuck into each other.
''I'll probably prank call him a couple of times now just to annoy him. He wouldn't give me a high-five. I was hoping no one saw that but obviously everyone did. I said, 'Come on, brother, high-five me.' And he just looked at me and walked off. He gave me a hug after the game, so it's all right.''
