Of course we will deserve it if we get it.
I still reckon the roosters have had the worst season in terms of the talent in their squad, and the awfulness of some of their performances.
At least the panthers can point to new structures and huge disruptions with key players leaving and culture change.
There is no doubt their management is looking to get less top heavy in terms of player payments and build a deeper squad. In the last twelve months Lewis, petero, Gordon have all left or are leaving. There's no doubt that causes some short term pain.
