Its interesting someone mentioned to me yesterday how the Cowboys, Souths & us all made the prelim final at a minimum last year and along with the broncos the last teams to be given a bye this season.
Because of that these 4 teams are the last 4 teams to have a bye in the last month of the season.
Was it factor on why those teams bar the Broncs have struggled this year.
You look at us, souths & cowboys are limping to the finish line and all 3 teams have had a poor 5/6 weeks at the back-end of the season.
Something to ponder i suppose it may just be a coincidence.
The NRL certainly did a crap job to even out the byes this year it was beyond ridiculous.
But has the last round bye seen as an advantage actually helped.
