Especially in the moment, the final play of the game, with Thirroul trailing by six, frantically searching for one last way to draw level.
Called on Bar TV by the Illawarra Mercury's own league writer Mitch Jennings, it was a stunning Illawarra passage, keeping the ball alive until Aaron Schoupp - who initially played the ball - scored in the corner off the boot of Joel Johnson.

"I was definitely out of the seat," Fien said of the final play.
"I was just screaming at the boys to keep moving because I knew Thirroul wouldn't just die. Luckily they scored out wide and not under the sticks."
