THE Centurions have no complaints and no excuses after their sub-standard performance against Oldham.

Coach Paul Terzis knows his side under-achieved but remains convinced that his team can go on and win the Grand Final.

Two matches

"Before Sunday we had to win two matches to reach the Grand Final. Today we've still got two games to win, it's as simple as that," he says.

"We know that we're capable of producing far more than we did against Oldham. I doubt whether Oldham can play much better than that - and we still only lost by one point!"

Terzis knows where the game was lost. "We only completed half of our sets of six. When you turn possession over like that, you're always going to struggle. We played without our thumbs today!

"But give Oldham some credit. They played the percentages and it came off for them.

"We'll take stock and learn from our mistakes and I'm 100 per cent sure we'll be back next Sunday ready for the challenges that lie ahead.

Straight knockout

"It could well be that we'll meet Oldham again in the Final.

"It's straight knockout all the way now with no margin for error. We know what's at stake."
