If there are still doubters on Nick Maxwell's ability to lead his team at crucial stages in a game, you seriously have rocks in your head.

He felt the game was slipping, and stood up when needed.

Two crucial moments in the last quarter:

1/ Sprinting back to prevent the Riewoldt goal

2/ Great mark on CHB, you could just see the determination on his face, inspirational stuff.

Maxwell admitted today that the Saints were the better team on the day, and if it went into extra-time, they probably would have won.

But I'm equally positive after seeing our boys fight to the death, they didn't give up, and because of that, we have another chance next week.

I believe the great Invictus poem might be worth a run here;

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

He was astounding, from start to finish, and that mark he took over Gilbert, that lead to the Cloke goal that put us in front, will be the stuff of legend if we can salute next week.

He is our captain, a true leader of men, and that can never be disputed.:thumbsu:
 
I'm usually one of his biggest haters but the man was brilliant...won myself and a lot of my friends over with his performance.
