I think people are being a bit hard on Walshy, I reckon it's a legitimate question and lots of people have been asking it.
Personally the loss worries me. I thought we'd beat Port but they really out-played us all day until the last 5 minutes when it looked like a miracle had happened. The outs were important but we'll be lucky if we manage to keep our best 22 fit throughout the finals. The replacements have got to step up.
The streak wasn't that big a deal to the players because they are literally taking each game in turn, not getting ahead of themselves. The loss didn't hurt us re. the ladder, home finals etc, but if it planted seeds of doubt it could be a problem.
I hope we come out and smash Brisbane, whether they are still alive in the finals or not. I want to see us hit September all guns blazing.
