Was our year. The lightest draw in ages! Roosters once, storm once. In other years we’d get 0/8 points from these rounds. :( ok no finals but how the f do u get the spoon

    The unicorns will tell you otherwise. Absouloutly. Greenberg gave parramatta one of the easiest draws, but the unicorns are still whinging

      I don't know that the premiership window opened last year. Parra played very well, but we had to build on that with some young enthusiastic players as well as generate (or purchase) some rep quality players. The team and club would have learnt a lot from this year - they just need to take those learnings into the next few seasons. We certainly should have won at least one of those GFs you mentioned, especially 2005 - that was ours for the taking and we blew it.

      By the way, we are not certs for the spoon this year. If I were NQ, GC or Manly, I'd be worried. Parra is starting to play well and if we continue we may just miss the spoon.

    Who cares about the draw we made the top 4 and finals and played better against the eventual premiers. Who judges an easy draw anyway. Teams form varies through year and injuries turn around also play a part. Tigers had hardest draw to start year but killed it as they played different style of footy. That is why we went well last year the style of footy not the draw. We played fast energetic footy and our defence won us close games. This year without the same conditioning we don't have energy and defence drops so lose close games.

    Also most would agree the last few years though we played better against top sides and lost games we were supposed to win. So the draw last year was more dangerous for us.

    There is no such thing as an easy draw. You will probably meet them in the finals anyway, if your team makes it that far.

    Maybe a tougher draw would've helped us. We seem to perform better when against the tougher teams, when we're not expected to win.
