At the start of the season how many of these games would you expect us to have won after round ten?
Panthers away
Bulldogs
Roosters
Sharks
Raiders away
Tigers
Knights away
Dragons
Storm in Brisbane
Cowboys away
Away games in Canberra, Townsville and Newcastle are ones we never, ever seem to win. Those were expected.
Storm have been the benchmark over the last 14 years or so, no matter who is playing for them. Even without Slater there now it would have been hard to see us beating them (although conceding 64 points is just ridiculous).
Roosters reigning premiers and playing just as well this year. Nope.
I thought the Panthers would be much better than they are this year, so that first up win was unexpected.
Tigers and Dragons were toss of a coin games.
Pretty much only the Bulldogs game is one where I would have thought we should and would win at the start of the season.
The Storm game has f**ked us. If we lost that game by only 10-16 points there wouldn't be so many meltdowns in here. We still have a 50% win rate and have played some tough road trips already. That one drubbing has made it all look worse though.
