It’s such a weak comp this year. We just need to stay close to 50% wins for the next few weeks. I’ve seen nothing to suggest we can’t be in with a real shot at the finals, more so because there’s so many poor teams as opposed to us being great
This is the worst quality competition I can remember through almost 5 rounds. As you said previously Vic there hasn't been close to a game yet where you've said to your mates (or self) 'what a cracking game. Glad I didn't miss out on that.'
Most games have been stop / start, error riddled affairs that have been hard to watch. Any good games are more down to the closeness of the scores rather than exceptional quality on the field for the full 80 minutes. A good example of this was the Parra vs Saints game yesterday.
It's hard to put a finger on what has gone wrong. Poor play, lots of injuries, poor refereeing, laying down to milk penalties, and the top teams all coming way back to the field all play a part. Usually 5 weeks in, and with the Tigers winning a few games, I'd be super keen to watch as many games as I could. This year has been very uninspiring though. I'm already thinking about origin just to see a high quality game.
