Next week away to Perth is a much harder game and I fear that we will fall again. Hopefully I am wrong. 10 men or not, we needed 3 points at home.

Nothing but draws keeps us in the exact same spot as last week, which is good, but with one less week to go, which is bad. Then again, 7 rounds should be plenty of time to make it into the top 4 (even 2nd place is doable). It's going to be tough going into next week without Muscat though. But at least with Broxham, Ryall and Keenan back, we should look a bit better than we did when we faced Queensland. I suppose in other circumstances we'd be happy with a draw when most of the game was played with a man down. But Wellington didn't look that convincing, and we had 3 superb opportunities to retake the lead in the last 15 minutes... Disappointing result, but thankfully it doesn't kill our chances for the season.
