Even that comes down to luck on the day. Melbourne have won half of the grand finals they have played in, including half of the ones they appeared in while cheating.

We have lost our two grand finals since 1986, but it's only two games. If we were a (theoretical) 50% chance of winning either game it's not outlandish that we should lose (or win) both of them. The chance of winning one would be 50% while the chance of winning or losing both would be 25%

Luck certainly plays a part in it, but it’s not always the only factor that gets you a win on the day.
I mean how much luck was involved in the Storm flogging the Cowboys in the 2017 GF? I think one team was just much better than the other.

Although you could say that Melbourne were lucky to be playing such an inferior team on the big day.

I didn't mean luck was the only factor, though coming from eighth place was a fair indication of the Cowboys' quality. When their luck ran out they were easy prey for the Storm.

But last year the two grand final teams were pretty evenly matched and the Roosters were lucky on the day to do it so easy.

We’re the Roosters lucky or were the Storm unlucky?

Or both?
Or neither?

f**k, I don’t even know any more. I just consider myself lucky enough to have watched the Storm get trounced in a GF. Good times.

Don't blame you for being a bit cranky at him. But, to get things into perspective: 1. He's only 22 yrs old - most half-backs don't peak until at least 25yrs. 2. He spent two years playing alongside half-back-killer, Robbie Farrah. That would have put his development back a bit. 3. Brad Arthur is a better coach than your guy. 4. He'll never play origin or be a superstar - but I'll bet he develops into a bloody good first grade half back. (That's just my opinion, so it doesn't mean much.) 5. He's now playing in a side that he hasn't gotten used to yet, and with a very inexperienced dummy half and fullback. And our backs have changed every game since he's started with us, so he hasn't been able to work up any combinations yet.
6. Let's just give him time - because that's what a 22yr old half-back in the NRL needs. Time. 7. Ivan Cleary will get you guys a good solid team with no stars in it, that will be fairly competitive most of the time but will never win a premiership or go close. 8. In about two years time, West Tigers will be wishing they kept Moses (not to mention the others).

You should've found it 12 months ago after we got the spoon. Then you'd look like a genius, like all the other Tigers fans who we haven't heard from for months.

Half the Tiger fans are still nailing Farah to the cross - they are bit like bad drunks. Moses will live in their folklore beyond our days.

The telecrap ran a story today apparently saying that the answer to the Broncos problems is Moses. :grimacing::joy:

Thought this speculative Proszenko article deserved a place in Mitch's thread... in case it comes true down the track.

www.smh.com.au

Could Mitchell Moses be next? Why there may be more bad news for embattled Eels

Still reeling from the news that Blaize Talagi is on the move, Parramatta must now face the prospect of Mitchell Moses following suit.
www.smh.com.au www.smh.com.au

While the club may wish to see the back of Isaac Moses, they may instead see the back of the Moses they wish to retain. After steering NSW to State of Origin glory, the only box left to tick for Mitchell Moses is a premiership. If his manager is prepared to steer the promising Talagi away from Parramatta, why would he keep his gun client there if there isn’t a rapid recovery under Ryles?

Player options are good business why are worried.

Given the situation at both clubs, I'd be shocked if he's not at the Roosters before too long.

I don't even think it's something that is even up for debate.
