Lot of luck involved in an nrl season.

Just looking at the ladder and recent results, bulldogs raiders both had strong seasons last year and now look horrible and languishing at the bottom of the table. Yes recruitment and coaching is imporant but you also need a hell of a lot of luck with draw, bounce of ball and injury. I think considering everything that has gone wrong for us in first 10 rounds Ryles has done well. Ciraldo and Ricky not so much 😂

  • The cream usually rises to the top Eli. Diligent recruitment, player development,  coaching and strength and fitness are big factors.  Id give luck less than 10% of most teams success in any season.  I do believe the club is on a winner with Ryles.  He's doing a fine job considering the roster and a huge injury toll.  

    • It's a balance yeah, but a team like raiders dogs last season is more about luck then anything. The classy teams but you right will just be near top 

    • Lot of pats on back for Ciraldo last few years now look at the place 

      • What a disaster.  I reckon the players still resent Galvin coming in like a ring in

  • Do you make your own luck, or does some form of football god decide the luck. Interesting topic Eli.

  • The game has structurally changed significantly .....a lot of teams have not adjusted including the Bulldogs and Raiders.....

    Not to sure Im that convinced with Vlandy ball

    could this bring Burton to us lol   ...may be ??
