Good timing, I finally get a morning off and I'm on Hoops.
The Illawarra game had little effect other than make the Townsville game later today a must win. If we play well we should get this one, but Townsville beat Horsham comfortably last night, and this was certainly their best performance of the week.
There is a three way battle for 2 spots in the other half, and if Norwood beat Norths (which they can do) by a margin they can sneak in.
Illawarra have 2 bigs that are very good, we did a good job on one, but had real trouble with the other. He must have had 30 of their 57, he was awesome. We were 13 down at one stage, but came back to 5 late in the game but failed to convert and they hit a big 3 to ice it. The 14 point margin was not indicative of the closeness of the game. We have some adjustments to make offensively which we are about to do at training and then concentrate on Townsville tonight.
Win that and we are playing for a medal and we don't fear anyone we might play there. It's still wide open!
