The great outcome from the game (apart from the obvious 3 pts), is now how everyone is fired up about the season again - players (look at Sail) & fans. It had been all dull, low profile really, until this match.
There is suddenly a shark load of energy around again about the Nix, and wouldn't surprise if got a decent crowd against CCM at the ROF next home game. Providing yes goes okay verus Roar this weekend.
A standard 1-0 win without any drama, wouldn't have bought half the publicity this game did. Thanks Shaun Evans/VAR.

Perhaps, in a funny way, they needed a game like this to chuck some hot coals upon the fire in their bellies. Put that chip back on their shoulder, the same chip that’s always been there when this club has gone deep in the past. This win could just be the push to get them rolling.
