This. We won't win more than 5-10 games this season but *most* weeks we'll give a good account of ourselves. Expecting anything more is folly after what RaeRae and Des did to the club.

(side note: anyone see the Waratahs crowd at Bankwest last night? lol)

Terrible crowd I heard, I avoid union unless it’s a World Cup.

When is Napa back ?, that extra quality forward is big

Was 5-6 weeks from the Storm game, so I'd imagine we'll see him back either for Magic Round or the week after on the Gold Coast?

Was still better than our crowd.

As for results. It's hard to say. Injuries to other teams, better combos forming within our own team, and players improving can all have an impact to our season outlook. It's really a rebuilding team, and I would love it if we dropped Liccha now so we can see how our NSW Cup hooker comes along in the top grade. We need to explore all options while we can to improve our team going forward.

Not sure the two are directly comparable. People still watch NRL, was the point, and union is fast slipping into irrelevance if it's not there already.
