Sam Konstas, who is set to play his final game for the club this tournament before departing for Australian Test duties in Sri Lanka, emphasised that his work at Thunder is far from finished.
"We’ve created something special at Thunder this year – there’s a real belief amongst the team that we can go all the way," said Konstas.
"It’s never ideal to lose players to injuries or departures, but every single person who’s stepped in has done an incredible job.
"While we might not openly admit it, this game has been circled on our calendar all season. We know how important it is, and we’re ready.
"My job at Thunder isn’t done yet – we’ve got a big game to win tomorrow night."
Final release tickets are available to purchase here. Thunder fans can catch all the action live on Channel Seven, 7Plus, Foxtel, and Kayo from 7:15pm.
