A week after the delight of an 8-2 rout of Central Coast, Rudan was downcast and his players muted in their celebration of all three first-half goals.
There was little cheer either for the eighth-placed Wanderers, who had won three of their last four but whose faint finals hopes appear to have been extinguished.
Despite his team producing one of their best performances of the season, Australian Rudan didn't want to touch on any analysis.
He was sickened by Friday's attack in which a gunman claimed 50 lives at two mosques.
