Daniel Anderson:''We will be ready next week, that's the bottom line. We have to brush ourselves off. They were very good tonight, they were hungry but we didn't do ourselves any favours. We dropped a lot of ball.''The season proper is over now, we will finish in seventh or eighth spot and we've got to win four games now. We didn't want to let in 37 points tonight, we wanted to win the game but our opposition earned and deserved everything tonight. We will make sure that if we play them again next week we will be much keener and much more difficult for them.''http://www.smh.com.au/news/lhqnews/suddenly-parra-find-themselves-in-waynes-world/2009/09/05/1252001252043.html"They were hungrier. There wasn't any real rocket science. They ran harder, tackled harder, played harder and earned more than we did.""We haven't become a bad team in 80 minutes. We didn't earn anything tonight ... the opposition just wanted it a lot more, they were hungrier, they were a lot more clinical than we were. We'll be ready [next week]."http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/09/05/2677419.htm?site=sport&section=allWAYNE BENNETT'You don't just become a bad side overnight so I'm sure they will look back on the good things they have done and go from there"''They've just gone where we have been. Welcome to our world. They've been up for seven weeks and we had to turn some things around so I don't think it's embarrassed them. They just found us on a night when we were hot and we did to them what teams have done to us. It's a new competition next week and they had some players missing tonight.''http://www.smh.com.au/news/lhqnews/suddenly-parra-find-themselves-in-waynes-world/2009/09/05/1252001252043.html

"Yea I like Samrani as a 17 rather than a starting backrower. Tuilagi will probably be selected this week with Guymer back on the bench or cup. Latu needs a couple more games in Cup before being a chance of NRL selection I would think."

"Yep thats the thing. I dont think anyone expected some players to be so much on the outer and JR blood so many younger players. Its why we are suffering this short term pain. Hopefully its better for the long run."

Loving comments from both the coaches, i think there both exactly right.

Ando's confidence has me still believing, the whole preperation for this week has me thinking that Ando may hav a trick or two up his sleeve for our first game of the finals.
