I think we had byes for Rd 16 and 19 last year, and Dogs was round 20 I believe and we decided to rest everyone... I think?The Origin players were in camp (Brisbane received two of those games last year) and since Cobbo missed Game II through injury, they opted to leave him out of the dead rubber as well.
That's right, it was clear sign that Mahoney was well and truly rattled. Pretty sure Mahoney started OK as well, set up a try with a 'flat' pass to Preston from memory. It seemed like he was going to be a point of difference, only for Billy to outplay him.
It reminded me a lot of the Dragons game from earlier in the season. If the ball had have bounced right for Lomax, they would have had the lead and all the momentum. Instead it's a seven tackle set, Brisbane took an opportunity than Haas went full beast mode with Walsh running riot off the back of it.
Reece was still suspended as well I think
Can't quite recall the dragons game as a whole, but remember it was extremely tense and we didn't win it until late when Haas went beast mode... I think that was the start of Kevvie purposefully holding Haas back for that second half surge he was creating.
I remember Haas going beast mode... him and Patty linking through the middle to put Reece away for the game sealer??
