Yeah it's all about good luck and bad luck i suppose.

Losing Moses we'll definitely need someone with a long kicking game to try and soften the blow.
Right, but Penrith shouldn't have banked the wins against us? The Storm shouldn't have expected to beat us at home? Look at their points differential and hordes of Origin players ffs. We are not in their class. Credit to the team for being able to get up for those games and expose their weaknesses.
Yep I did the predictor thingy and had us finishing 8th aswell
Cowboys also lost to the dogs, and should have lost against the tigers….they also didn’t beat the panthers……
Upsets happen. We’ve consistently proven we’re able to compete with them at our best. The Tigers and Bulldogs were struggling big time when they beat us.
Cowboys were considered a bad team in round 1. If the Cowboys had lost to the Tigers then yes they would have considered it giving up a bankable win.
Just the tip I’d say
They weren't struggling at all when they beat us. Those were grand final efforts from both teams. And we're not the only side they've upset. Both teams have won three games this year against top eight sides. Every team can struggle with complacency.
The Tigers hadn’t won a game when they beat us after 5 rounds. The Bulldogs had won 2 from 13. The teams they upset would be annoyed at dropping points they would have put in the bank. The Broncos tonight for example.
It doesn't matter what merkins thought of them, in round one they already had the talent that is obvious now after 18 games.
They’re overachieving. Good luck to them but they’re doing very well to be coming second with that roster.
It doesn't matter what their early season form was like. A team's quality was there from the start even if it only becomes clear to observers after more games. But upsets happen to everyone. The Roosters and Storm have lost to some ordinary teams. Does that mean their coaches are shit?
It's possible but they have had good junior recruitment for a very long time (they've produced some guns, including big name players currently at other clubs). They have some quality young players who just won an Origin series. It's possible we'll look back and realise we underrated them.
The f**k merkin? Did you have all the other top eight teams winning all their games? It's impossible.
Penrith losing their halves hurts us as I think they’ll drop a couple of games they’d have otherwise have won against teams we are battling it out with
