I think it's the first time I've watched it back after 17 years, Korky, for all his faults, was immense int that game, not just the kick return. The thing that got me was how well the lesser known players went, Rob Spicer, in particular, who dropped into centre after Domic went off.
I'm not one who bemoans modern standards and getting all nostalgic about the past, but we are currently operating on a good few levels below of where we were in 2004, but that probably applies to the sport as a whole. The sheer drama of that play off game, which was a 3rd v 6th, would not have looked out of place as a semi final or grand final. The games I watch these days, including most play off games, are pretty sterile in comparison.
