Agree. People saying that we shouldn't judge our season based on Today. I wouldn't be. Our form has been horrendous the last
7 weeks. Bar the big win over the Storm. We have lost 5 of our last 7. Perhaps we could elimate the Panthers game and call it 4 losses of the last 6 games.
Reality is if we lost today we have finished the season losing 6 of our last 8 games. Agree a huge win against the Storm. And a sloppy victory against Cowboys.
It is hard to forget recently =
28-0 to Roosters
56-10 to Manly
40-12 to Souths
12-10 to Canbera missing Papali and Wighton
And last times we played Souths and Manly also ended in beatings.
Panthers game was basicaly a forfeit. Knights are hardly a top 4 side. A loss is not acceptable considering what we've dished up the last 2mths. The big effort against Storm isn't going to change my opinion if we are out today.
Key thing, and blessing in disguise IMO
Injuries to Sivo and Opacic.
Penisini and Fego/Dunster inclusion cannot be underestimated
Other than Gutho we have everyone in the backline now that has genuine speed and footwork
There was a lot of games we lost where forwards did the job, we had more than our fair share of possession but we couldnt convert to points. Manly game was a right off. Other games we relied on kicks to score
4 tries v Storm all quality backline tries, skill and pace used
Wait and see I guess, we have been regular pretenders many times this time of year
