I'm guilty of Bennett bashing and of Roberts doubts.

I don't feel either of them have been completely vindicated yet. Up until Week 25 of this season I would have said we had a terrible attitude, played dour & negative defensive football, and seemed incapable of committing to a result.

We've dispelled a lot of that now, but I'd like to see us actually look like a decent side for consecutive weeks in the regular season. Watching us for large chunks of this year was downright brutal.

We're in the preliminary final, surely that dispels any doubts about Bennett. You're a hard man to please Mis.

Don't think I was guilty on any of those particular ones, more just a general "the team is shit we won't get anywhere"... and I put that down to my eternal pessimism. :lol:

Had doubts on Uate, Boyd and Scott though. Still not 100% sold on the latter either but he's certainly improved in the back-end of the season.

I'll put my hand up for my doubts about BJ and saying he was just a taller version of Sau

I have never been so happy to be wrong in my life. The bloke has been the difference for us in so many games this year

I'm happy that we're there and am bloody proud of the work that Wayne and the boys have done.

But I'd like to be able to support my team across the season without having to replace broken furniture on a fortnightly basis because we're so mind-numbingly and frustratingly inconsistent.

I'm guilty of Tyrone is nothing special and I don't want the princess Boyd. Although it's not on the list, I'm pretty sure were all guilty of the old "Houston is weak as piss and should be sacked forever" opinion too lol! Happy to eat all those words up!!!

Yum, yum, yum! More please!

I was livid at House last night when he botched that pick-up. Shut me up with a try and that on-the-toes grab to stop a potential Melbourne try.

I agree. His turn around in form has been astounding. It makes me wonder what has sparked it. Something had to.

A coach realizing that he belongs in the middle doing the tough, simple stuff as opposed to being put out wide where he often stifles attacking raids and gets belted 1-1

I admit that I bashed Bennett's one out style gameplans and to be honest I think he's altered it abit when it wasn't working (as all good coaches do). Last night was awesome to see us go wide on early tackles and cause the storm all sorts of headaches. Still think we're massively overpaying Aku though

Pretty sure I'm guilty of this one, and definitely guilty of Princess Boyd. Very happy to be wrong, Scott is one tough hombre... Boyd needs to deliver more often, but is a game game player that you want in the finals (and to be hoenst I probably never doubted that).

I feel really bad for being way too harsh on Roberts. For months I didn't think he had the skill set or maturity to be a quality half and have thought for a while that he'd make a better hooker. I was wrong.

Guilty of bagging Houston in the past, but he's been superb ever since playing at prop off the bench. He hasn't let us down for the last few months, IMO.

There was one home game earlier in the year when house (who was making his first start in a couple of weeks) played second row and dropped a few balls, and made a few missed tackles. I never wanted to see him in first grade after that. But credit to him he's been playing great at prop off the bench. At least it's finally sunk in that he's not a second rowers arsehole.

The above can be applied to Costigan too.

None of them. The closest one would be Roberts as I was keen for Gower to be given more of a go there for a couple of weeks until his injury. But having said, I didn't doubt Tyrone could handle it, rather that I thought Gower was a better choice at the time.

None of them really. However I remember expressing concern that we signed Scott for 4 years.

If there was an option about death-riding Waddell I'd be extremely guilty of that.
