Does anyone else remember when Sportsbet paid out for the dragons to win the minor premiership early?
We fell off a cliff that season, bundled out of the finals in straight sets.
Not to say that this will necessarily happen to Penrith, but they could follow a similar trajectory over 3 years. Getting close year 1 but not quite getting there. Winning the comp the second year. Looking fantastic for most of the third year then spiraling at the end.
It’s hard to stay on top of this comp for repeated seasons. A couple of injuries to key players in the next few weeks and a bit of disruption inside the club would bring them right back to the pack.
