Manly, Melbourne, Eels, Tigers - 4 teams which will figure in the final weeks of the semis - and we could easily have put them all away in the past month.
Heads are obviously down with players and supporters as another season's lost, but we are finishing 07 a lot better than we did 06.
And not a gnome in sight.
Coincidence?
We need to finish the last 2 games very strongly.
Blokes like Pom, Gall, Bird, Dykes, De Gois, Stapleton, Dougie and Covell have all had a damn fine year and they are all backing up next year, bar Dykes.
Seymour has shown he can mix it in this league.
After years of not living up to expectations and promises he has been a stand out against competition leaders.
Finally a halfback to co-ordinate the above group and allow them to show their true potential in attack.
Plus, what an ally he'll have in a fit Kearney.
No, the next 2 games are not experimental.
They are for bonding this group tighter and finishing the year as strongly as possible.
