I'm assuming that's the current top 8? Because I'm pretty sure a few teams were in the 8 at the time we beat them

Yeah.

Our win was against Storm Round 4 missing their halves. All of the other teams got at least 1 win against us.

Still, we mostly beat the teams below us, and that's why we're there.

Brian McDermott is why you are in the finals.

 

[perverse]

This is an interesting talking point. Quite a blessed year for the club injury wise. Doubt we'll get another this lucky.

 

[Apey]

Its a shame Ponga and Gamble (x2) had to be two of the injured players.

 

[Yosh]

Cogger has been pretty good the past few weeks... Imagine he takes us to 2 or 3 more wins!! Finals specialist he will be known as.

Its a shame Ponga and Gamble (x2) had to be two of the injured players.

The real indictment is that before a ball was kicked this season, we all would have said we could cover the Gamble injury comfortably with our newly found halves depth, and that we'd struggle without a fullback.

Turns out we've had fullbacks pouring out our ears and struggled to replace Gamble. Then when Gamble came back we don't want to upset the balance of the team. All this whilst thinking the 2 blokes in the halves currently are technically the least skilled/valuable that we have. We sure are a funny lot. Hard to make sense of much of it. The club gambled/went way too far in on Hastings. That's the biggest one for me. That and we've had incredibly lazy key personnel like DSaf.

It’s an interesting stat as you could argue that the Knights and Panthers have lost the most critical players.

Ever reliable Buzz Rothfield is reporting knights have approached Matthew Johns to gauge his interest on being head coach of AOB were to leave

I’ll always love Matty but that would be an absolute shit show.

Also pretty funny that Rothfield always sits on 360 ranting that he doesn’t understand why AOB is under pressure yet he and his Fox League cronies are probably responsible for more than half of the articles.

 

[Lynoman]

Yes, Matty is the premiership winning coach we need.........

 

[Old dog]

Think even Rothfield admitted in article that the Club making the bid is unknown.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Benji was an elite player who thought he coach too.

I don’t think AOB has had the cattle tbh.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

I'd much prefer Matty to Joey tbh...

Easily.

Joeys brain is fried isn’t it?

This will be the year to really judge Benji.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

This will be the year to really judge Benji.

Yeah, even with a better squad, we only have him at 50/50 after last years disaster.

Has appointed his mates as assistants.

I’m not saying I have forensically studied AOB, but as a guess I’d prefer him to Benji.

Some of his philosophy on footy make sense to me.

A pity Hastings couldn’t kick on for you.

 

[Woody90]

This is 100% what both of the Johns brothers would do which is another huge negative.

Yeah big shame about Hastings. He was fantastic for a year then got injured and was back to doing the same stuff that got him sacked from every other club. The guy certainly needs some mental health help.

He’s been getting help for awhile now but getting the right treatment can be like threading a needle for some people.

He was an exceptional talent as a youngster.

Benji was parachuted in with no experience or qualifications to take the heat off club incompetence.
