When the edges(centres, halves and backrowers) are changing every week or two(and they basically did after round 3) then your defence is going to suffer as well as your attack.
That being said I agree with some of your post, some games we just weren't good enough and lost when we should of won, that drove me insane. But beating the Knights and the Warriors(who haven't won in a couple months since SJ got hurt) does not prove we are capable of competing every week with the better half of teams with this huge injury toll. As pissed off as I was last week I think finishing 11th 2 wins outside the 8 is a fair enough result considering, certainly still a dissapointing season but Cleary said in the press conference we had 20 players who couldn't do preseason and then a constantly disrupted lineup throughout the year. Our spine played a total of 2 games and 11 minutes together all year. No team would make the 8 dealing with that.
