This time Sam Bright was able to enjoy the moment.
The Greens were up 16-7 in the grand final against Hamilton when awarded a penalty near the eastern touchline in the 79th minute. With the Greens throng at his back, Bright sent the ball through the sticks.
Signal pandemonium.
"It was really nice. I can always hear them," Bright said of the Greens fans.
In the major semi-final, Bright landed a 46-metre penalty on full-time to snatch a 28-26 victory.
"It was a different type of kick, different pressure," he said.
"I'd rather that we were a bit in front instead of an 85th minute kick to win it. I was able to enjoy the moment."
Both sides scored a converted try and Bright's four penalties were the difference, erasing the memory of his previous grand final - a 46-0 loss to Hamilton in 2012.
"It was really nice to come back and get the win today," the fly-half said.
"We had to tough it out. It wasn't the best conditions for running rugby. We just ground it out, kept turning up and making those second efforts."
