Now, now, Wilso ....
So how did the eels go then?
Week 1 of the semi-finals, beat the team that came in first in the competition rounds (the Dragons) 25 - 12
Week 2 of the semi-finals, beat the team that came in third in the competition rounds (the Titans) 27 - 2
Week 3 of the semi-finals, beat the team that came in second in the competition rounds (the Bulldogs) 22 - 12
Next week - Grand Final against the Storm.
This from the team that scraped into the semis in 8th place by winning 7 of their last 8 matches (including a victory over next weeks rival). Before that run, they were placed 13th of the 16 teams.
