It not THE ONLY criteria Big P, just highlights there are more criterias and interpretations to measure results. Rep selection especially with the numbers Easts put up goes a long way. Cronulla doesnt substatuate this theory and yo know it. Its a combination. Anyway tell it to the bookies LOL.
Gee the bookies are a reliable source aren't they?? :roll: They got it wrong in 2003 (as did many others - Phil Gould springs to mind) - but it doesn't matter. Penrith will just have to prove them (and people like you) wrong once again.
And as for rep selection..........
Kangaroo Tour - Craig Gower, Ryan Girdler, Trent Waterhourse, Luke Lewis & Joel Clinton
State Of Origin - Scott Sattler
New Zealand Squad - Tony Puletua, Joe Galuvao & Paul Whatuira
City/Country Origin - Craig Gower & Joel Clinton.
9 players out of a squad of 17. See?? Penrith achieved good rep selection over 2003!! 8) 8)
<<<<<<<------------- Plus this!!!!!!!!! And the Minor Premiership as well.
Your arguments about roosters being the "best of 2003" is weak.
