I don't agree.

Cowboys won 17, we won 16; their for and against was +272, ours was +119.

We defeated them with some huge stroke of luck.

Regardless - aside from our performance against the Raiders, we were exposed inthe Finals, imo - which shows me we overachieved.
The Cows and Sharks had a much easier draw, which other teams defeated Penrith and Melbun away??? We beat the Cows on their own dung heap after falling behind by 8 with about 20 mins to go. I never questioned the talent in the side Idid question our tactics and the teams picked. We made a GF with basically 15 players.

Civility doesn't mean you're not being a smartarse. You're not fooling anyone.
Not needing to fool anyone, and still not twisting your words as you claimed. And as evidenced in the four quoted posts, which purely in their own context evidenced nonsense circular logic.

As we're suggested to ask when someone overreacts to minor matters, are you OK?

I’ve been talking up the side for a couple of years, my doubts have always been with the coaching staff. I maintain those doubts and it will be very exciting to see how we go next year with quite a few new faces.

yeh, I get that, but that was a positive post about the Eels

so who are you really ?

It's true - the Cowboys should have held on to beat us, but we showed enormous courage to fight back, and win (even with some iffy calls).

For me, the reason why the Cowboys were better is because they were at their peak for longer - we would play out of our skins one week, then bludge for the next 3 weeks; the Cowboys were generally very consistent, week to week.

It's my opinion that without a change of play style, I don't think we will make a deep Finals run in 2023; we need our backs to make more carries out of our own end, and leave our pack to recover to control the game.

The team that won one game in the finals by a point??? A team that got beat by us on their own patch after leading by 8 with 20 to go. All the ball all the momentum and they couldn’t put us away.
They had an off night. It doesn’t mean we were a better team.

It wasn’t about the money for Dylan Brown last month but it’s about the money now

The cowboys for & against leading into the last game v penrith reggies was -3 against top 8 sides
ours was -26 for the regular season
We had 2 10+ point wins(penrith, roosters) and 3 10+ point losses(Souths x2, cowboys) v top 8 sides
Cows had 3 10+ point wins (raiders,eels, storm) and 5 10+ point losses (roosters x2,panthers,sharks,souths)

I don’t agree with your assertion that for/against is the slam dunk indicator of a teams quality. I would have had the Roosters and Rabbitohs being too strong for the Cowboys as well if they met them instead of us and they both had inferior differentials.
Souths’ was barely better than ours. I agree the Roosters were as good as the Cowboys. Them and the Storm had better teams than us as well.

“Parramatta have conceded they won’t be able to match rival offers”

It’s just market forces.
