Ohh no it wasnt a national game, they never beat us at that haha
I mean club challange as in the winner of our competetion verse the winner of their competition (like new york yankees verse hiroshima from japan), which ended up being Leeds vs Melbourne. An excuse? well whatever it is its justifiable, our team always plays up there and more often than that loses so its not like a one off complaining kind of thing.
No one doubts our competetion is wayyyy more stronger (which is why they always offer a very large amount of money to get some of our players)
I just think its naive for the coach to think he has the best team in the world considering all the advanatges they have every year the game is played and the disadvantage on the otherside. But anyway, i dont think many people follow the game on here anway... maybe NBS and few english guys like ccr and evo
