Match Discussion: Round 25 vs Souths @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Woody90]

Has anyone else noticed that whenever we win, there’s suddenly an absolute media bombardment about the losing side and how bad they were, how much the club is in trouble, etc? Seriously, when we beat the Dogs NRL 360 dedicated a whole week to dissecting their issues, beat Melbourne all of a sudden there’s hysteria that Melbourne were bad and aren’t a premiership team anymore, Tigers, well business as usual, now all the stories this week are suddenly about how bad Souths are, despite the fact that they’ve been bad for half the season.

We’re starting to get a bit of credit for our improvement no doubt, but at the core of it it always seems to come back to how bad the opposition were. No side could be that lucky to get awful teams 7 games in a row. Yes we’ve had an easy-ish run home but I think also we’re doing our part in making the opposition play that way.

You’re not wrong….I feel good after a win, after the first few in a row, I’m thinking “were we too good, or were they bad?”

surely after 7 wins though you have to start saying it’s us being good

We retired TPJ now we’ve deported Sam Burgess. Cronulla will pissing themselves out of fear.

I just want to see someone smash Ramien real bad (legally of course).

Yeah its definitely a thing. We are getting our fair share of credit - after its established how bad the other club is going.

It's going to be a shame to see Ivan get sacked after losing to the Knights in October.

Nah mate. I’ve done the predictor we’ll get Ivan sacked after we beat them in the Prelim and Kevvie after the GF.
