Why is everybody so in praise of dopey Cronulla?? Look at their marshmallow schedule, I mean, seriously their last 8 or so games were against... Balmain, Canterbury, Newcastle, Warriors, Give-Up Manly who had already QUIT, St George. Who gave them such a fairy floss schedule?? Meanwhile we played against Bellamy, Parramatta, at Up Up Malaka, Easts twice, NQ and Go "Riff!!
Yet we did that torrid schedule proud. And we are the only squad to sink Easts for the past 2.5 months, despite Easts' bash brothers steamrolling everyone put before them. Hammering them in fact.
I will say it now: Cronulla is overrated, their "form" greatly conflated by a marshmallow schedule. They will win nothing.
Conversely, we have a true contender capable of anything IF the application and focus is there i.e minmise the turnovers and simple unforced errors such as wrongful kicks and sloppy passes picked up and scored upon.
