Agreed 10 mins each way. How hard is that?? There was ample time and the Bank was buzzing. Would have added to a great day of rugby. Very disappointing. Time to rethink the rule book on this. Add to that the Colts 1 GF last year.
Judging by some social media comments it sounds like the Brothers Reggies did the same for GPS after the Major Semi and wanted the result overturned. Too worried about what everyone else was doing and then went out in straight sets..?
Played 16
Journos tend to be objective, and I do not at all pretend to be such. The 2023 Bond Universty Bullsharks - and minor premiers - were beaten fair and square by a supremely talented and experienced Brothers outfit more attuned and adequately reinforced to undertake a well-deserved run to the Grand Final. It was a tough day at the office for the Bond outfit and definitely not what they wanted to deliver to their faithful on Saturday. However, it was not that long ago that Brothers were in a similar position against UQ - and if history tells us anything, it is that falling short of your goals are the best way to shore up resolve and work hard to achieve future success. There is unfinished business here, and if it means taking two or three more years to get the prize, then so be it. All the best to Wests and Brothers who are both absolutely deserving of their berths at Ballymore.
I think GPS culturally have benefited this year though and the club as a whole.
When you put it that way....1000% Choke
Bond and their supporters should be proud of their record this season, they were tough opposition. Hopefully they can build on that and use it to develop more players for future seasons and grow the game on the Coast and probably tap into Northern NSW also.
