I dont think the roosters were that bad mate, they did cough up the ball and gave souths some penalties to get them back into the game after leading 12-0 but I felt the rabbits controlled the rest of the match and showed just how well they play the power game.
The difference with the Rabbits this year is they've been able to take their good regular season form into the finals, whereas in recent history despite being a solid team all year they've often folded under pressure.
The positive for us I believe is that stylistically we generally are able to negate their go forward through the middle and thats when their playmakers and backs lose the plot, make mistakes and fail to complete their plays.
If this happens we're a great chance of winning it. If they manage to hold their nerve and all other things being equal I think its hard to argue that our backline is as dangerous as theirs..
Either way it will be a classic GF, and I believe we have over-achieved already to be there so wont be so worried about the result, I just want to enjoy the game, win would be a massive bonus.
