Why cant it be one of a number of relevant contributing factors? You seem to think there should be one reason, but thats rarely (if ever) the case.
It could be but if we lose and it’s one of the contributing factors then it means we failed by not overcoming adversity.

I understand that there are many factors that go into making a grand final but the fact of the matter is that this is the best position we’ve ever been in to make one since 2009.
I agree. But we are still more chance of not winning the comp than we are of winning it. We are paying $8.50 ffs. Even the second favourite (Cowboys) are paying $5. The only team that is more chance of winning the comp than not is Penrith.

Do you think those are the only two options?

If we lose in Townsville what do you think the reason will be?
We scored less points than the opposition.


What does he deserve credit for? Which game?
From recent memory the final game of the regular season where we beat Melbourne to secure a top 4 position.

We were second favourite to win the competition at the start of the finals. It would be a huge missed opportunity to not make the grand final in this field.

Why does he deserve all the credit for that? It's a team game.

That's because we were a chance of beating Penrith and the Cowboys were a chance of losing to Cronulla. Now both those things haven't happened the odds have adjusted. Our chance of losing to Canberra has now been factored in while the Cowboys' next game is at home. They only have to win that and they are in the grand final. That's why their premiership odds are shorter.

We are $8.50 and $1.55 this weekend. In other words if we beat Canberra we are then about $5.50 to win it.
Cowboys will blow out if we win. They'd be heavy favourites to beat Canberra. Would be $1.35. Against us they probably won't be less then $1.70. I still think we start favourites by kick off.

Favourites up in Townsville? Nah. I don't think so.

I think we can beat the cowboys up there we just gotta get through this week 2 hoodoo.

Mindset & psychology of sports teams is fascinating. That's why I think this week is a bigger challenge mentally.

Win this week and go up to Townsville next week as underdogs but also knowing our best can beat them.

It won't be like travelling to Melbourne and playing a clinical storm team at there peak where you hope they have an off day to get a win.

Parra play there best when hunting the opposition not being the hunted like this week.

Im expecting a win on Friday but who the fu*k knows. Beyond that I reckon we are a snowballs chance in hell of winning in Townsville. In fact it could get ugly. It dosent matter though, BA achieved his KPI. Contract extension time. Hey! Maybe we could do a package deal like Ivan and Nathan? Get on it MON ffs.
