Personal Narrative Analysis
Momentum, it’s a hard thing to stop in Rugby League.
Just asked the Manly Sea Eagles last weekend, who cruised to a 38-12 lead with 21 minutes remaining at Henson Park, only for the Newton Jets to hunt down the lead with five quick-fire tries, ultimately securing their position in the top four.
The final score was 40-38, a score-line that looks to be an entertaining, see-sawing affair; but it was actually a game that had head-coach, Greg Matterton, riding the emotionally-draining Rugby League roller-coaster.
“I remember looking over at one stage when we were losing and he wasn’t saying much,” Jets hooker Matt McIlwrick tells NSWRL.com.au.

The game should have been over, but somehow the Jets just clicked in the final quarter of the match, but it wasn’t because of anything said behind the posts are Meehan scored the try.
“To be honest, nothing [was said behind the posts after Meehan’s try],” McIlwrick said.
“I didn’t have anything to say, we talked every previous try but there was not much said behind the posts then.
“I don’t know what it was that sparked the comeback it was just incredible to be a part of and all of a sudden we grew a mojo and wanted to play.”
