Hawks remain upbeat

Jungle' was the biggest all season, and probably loudest, Coenraad didn't mind the atmosphere, and is now looking forward to seeing what the Wollongong fans dish up and hopes to be back in Perth for Game 3.

"They are a great crowd and at one point when they hit a three I think my ears were just ringing. It's a great atmosphere and I like playing in it as well as playing in Wollongong where we have the same thing for us," he said.

"It's a good atmosphere and makes everyone play better, and it's good for the game when you've got a crowd like this. I'd love to be back here playing in a decider because I think the atmosphere would be crazy. They are going to have to play tough to get us on our home floor though."
