I'm not sure if you are taking the piss or not. We won one game in the regular season, the last game vs the Broncos who were just as poor as us. We then won our GF in the semi vs the minor premiers Roosters. Then in the real GF were brought back to earth by the knights who were a class above.

So all this talk about our GF team is a tad over blown. Secondly all players were off contract from every team (except for one marquee player) and we had
four new teams. The four new teams picked the eyes out of the existing six and the player drain was huge, with allegiances dictating a lot of signings because of Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership comp where we didn't have a team. So the girls who played Harvey Norman for the Tigers or Dogs or Sharks all wanted to play NRLW for them. Hence why we lost of lot of girls to those teams. They were basically going back home, Tiana Penitani (Sharks) is a perfect example. So too our first fullback Botille Vette-Welsh who did an ACL. Why didn't she come back to us ? Because she's always a Tiger through and through. Our 2022 FB went to the Broncos because of her partner was QLD based etc etc.
The Knights have granted superstar fullback Tamika Upton a release from her contract due to family and personal circumstances.

I know that al lot of people just look as the scoreboard and don't give a crap about mitigating factors, or "excuses" and many label them, but f**k me it would have been all avoidable if the NRL allowed is to actually secure our squad who found some form/combination at the end of the season. Nope, every season all the girls were free agents and you had to try and re-sign then all over again.
Anyway as the worlds smartest man says, it's all MONs fault because he is glacial slow or something to that effect.
