If this is the case, and i think it is, it is a very sad day for rugby league and also another reason to scrap the macintyre system. I believe this is the case because the dragons, i believe, are the biggest threat the trophy because if they click, they can beat any1 in the competition.
All I have heard all year is
If Saints get a full team on the field
If Saints click
If If If well the semis are the time to put all If's aside and make the If's reality. Saints didn't on Friday and for Brown and Barrett to come out and say that the team was caught off guard. What the hell how can you be caught off guard in a final. St George Illawarra are a good side but in reality didn't have the mental fortitude to pose a threat in this premiership. It all and well to have a lot of good players (which they have) but that doesn't necessarily make them a great team. It's a sad way for Saints to finish but instead of blaming the Dogs and looking for conspiracies. I would be asking why since 1999 with the talent they have at there disposal they haven't been passed week 2 of the finals.
Couldnt have said it better meself.
Being a Wests Tigers fan, things were expected of my team this year by most......big disappointment to just miss at the end, I was shattered for a couple of days.
I cant imagine how Saints fans must be feeling.
Heres a team that for years have been written up as premiership threats, and rightly so.
This year how many origin stars? 6? 7?
They are an enigma, the Dragons.....must be as frustrating as hell being a saints fan....almost similar to us Wests fans I imagine.
Oh yeah and I reckon the nine commentators owe the Panthers an apology......several times they mentioned that Saints came back from 30 odd points against Manly.....who?....Manly....oh yeah, Manly, the team Penrith put 70 on. :lol:
