"You don't want to go to Lithgow on a Friday night and lose," Pettit laughed. "By far it was our best game of the year."
"All our training, it all game together. Before when something didn't go our way the heads would drop, but we've been cracking down on that, not letting it get to us."
The resulting 20-point win has usurped the Wolves from third place on the ladder and ending the season at second place is a distinct possibility.
"Panthers aren't playing this weekend so if we win we'll go to second, and if they drop another game, we could be second at the finals," Pettit said.
Pettit said that Spud Kelly was the best on ground on Friday night with Jesse Nixon and Ryan Oborn also playing exceptionally well on the night.
This Sunday the Bears are at home against St Pats which will be the penultimate game before the finals begin in earnest.
