My favourite moment last year came during the Perth match against the Warriors - our grand final opponents from the previous year, who were desperate for a win. We had forfeited the Brookie home advantage, were coming off 2 losses, and were training 0-18 just 10 seconds before half-time.
On his own 10m line, Foran put through a perfect kick for Tafua. Jorge got it. He did not swerve. He did not fend. He just ran. Tupou and Locke both had him in range but weren't strong enough to knock him off balance. That try got us back in the match, which of course we went on to win, and set us up for a strong finish to the competition.
Makes me laugh every time I watch a replay of it!
