For those of you who are questioning if Saints are the real deal or not in 2017, will be answered in the next 3 rounds as we are playing 3 quality sides in the Roosters, Storm & Sharks.
I must say seeing my beloved Saints winning and winning well so far this year has been an absolute joy to watch, they are playing with passion, heart, enthusiasm, brains, brawn and flair. McCrone (excluding the first 3 rounds) has really stepped up. McInnes has been exceeded any expectations any of us had and is absolutely killing it. Widdop has been the polar opposite of last year and seems to be relishing the captaincy role, we have amazing depths in the forwards.
My only concern has been have we really played a great team so far this year? Let's take a look shall we.
Rnd 1 Penrith: They were touted as premiership heavyweights but what does they really mean in the grand scheme of things? This year they have been a shell of their former selves. NO.
Rnd 3: Beating the reigning premiers (cold shiver) at home no less was a damn good win, take nothing away YES!
Rnd 4: Warriors not only do we have the wood on this team and we played them at home no less, let's be brutally honest here they've been the sh!ts for the last 6 years. NO
Rnd 5: Tigers have had 3 coaches in 6 rounds and have been a clusterf--k for a while now. NO
Rnd 6: Brooky hasn't been the fortress it once was and Manly are a very inconsistent team.NO.
Rnd 7: A severely depleted Cowboys team they only positive is we played 40 minutes of footy compared to their 80 and we still won but alas NO.
I'm excited as the next 3 rounds is going to be a MASSIVE challenge let's hope the boys keep proving everybody wrong and can aim up big time GO YOU MIGHTY DRAGONS!!!!
Would love to here everyone's thoughts on this.
