This is the NRL, you can never get too confident. Little things make big differences. The Dogs might have had all 3 grades win minor premierships last year but the Warriors had all 3 grades in the GF in 2011 and look what happened this year. Most people predicted the Warriors to make the top 4 easy and when Matty Johns came out and said we wouldn't make the eight people called him crazy. In the end we finished closer to the spoon than the top eight.
Granted having Des in the coaches seat is a lot better than who we got stuck with but still, shit happens. What say Barba goes down with a serious injury? Graham's already sitting out half the season and if Barba's not there there's no creativity in that backline apart from Inu when he feels like it. To be honest the halves are duds who were made to look good last year by the forwards doing most of the ball playing. Reynolds is very, very average.
I've got nothing against the Dogs, I'm just saying the rollercoaster can drop pretty fast.
