I still have some faith in this young team.. just not much lol.
This particular game. 5 day turn around after playing in one of the wettest games you could imagine. Then having to play wet again. A wet track is a great leveller (who would have thought the Penrith Warriors game would be that close, are Penrith starting to choke?). We played a spirited team, the V's we're giving it all they had. The game just went against us, a couple of dropped balls where we should have been putting on the pressure, the ridiculous bunker calls etc, were enough with the obvious fatigue and resulting sloppy play to cost us the game. Last year we would have lost by 20. I think with a dry track and a normal turn around we would have smoked them. (But not Penrith or Melbourne...)
The season as a whole? We’ve got a hooker and 5/8th who are still very inexperienced. A couple of tough games gets to young heads. The talent is there, but not quite the mental toughness yet. There has definitely been some silly passing the last few weeks. Hopefully we can keep that spine for a few more years.
Moses is our weakest link. I think we played better without him for except our last kick options. That’s his only saving grace. He’s got a great boot, but in the opposition’s 20, he seems pretty clueless at creating space unless we’re totally on top anyway. A couple of times he got the ball yesterday near the line yesterday he just ran sideways waiting for someone else to run on the ball. Definitely not the Cronk or JT this team needs to be serious contenders.(Usually when I post about Moses inabilities he puts in a smoker the next game so if we beat Melbourne, thank me later lol)
Can we win the premiership?
Probably not, but not impossible. We may be under training for a bit so we can hit our straps again sweetly as we hit the finals. I think maybe the roosters are rope-a-doping too for a bit.
Storm and Penrith may be peaking too early.
Maybe Fergo and Sivo are playing injured (surely Sivo can’t be run down that easy)
Maybe this loss will make them stop believing they can just coast and still win
But that’s a lot of Maybe’s

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SLUGGY!!! sorry i missed this the other day, hope it was a nice one mate.
Hope there was no dog in the soup, cant be too sure with chinese sluggy.
Are we capable of winning it ? Sure we are.
Realistically are we going to win it ? No.
We CAN play a good game but we certainly have a bad game in us and that's why we are Buckley's of winning it.
The team that wins the prize is the team that has the smallest margin between their good days and their bad days.
That's why the Storm are specials.
The Eels are still too wildly inconsistent.
That pretty well nails it. Another year or two under the belt for Dylan and Reed and if we can keep the team together other than Fergo who's pretty well retired it seems and we might be real contenders
