The Melbourne Storm were odds on favourites to beat the New Zealand Warriors.
The Storm took out the Minor Premiership for the third year running and the Warriors just crept in to the Top 8.
Never before had the 8th placed team beat the 1st place in the finals system.
In fact, when I was on my Sportingbet account having a few bets, the Warriors were paying something like $7.50 or a win in a 2 horse race!
I wouldn't have even backed the Warriors with your money.
Well as you can probably guess if you don't follow the NRL, the Warriors made history and beat the Storm in the dying minutes of the game, scoring an amazing length of the field try.
End result: Storm players shattered, Warriors players jubilant that their season is still alive and the finals format thrown into kaos.
Warriors captain Steve Price said that only 17 people believed that they could cause an upset.
That's the lesson here.
When everyone else writes you off - you gotta believe.
Don't listen to what people are saying.
Step up and show what you can do.
The Warriors did on Sunday and I was impressed.
Let's see what happens next week...
