Win V Parra. Best win since the Bennett era?

I’m extremely happy with the win but I also feel we’ve only scratched the surface.

Having said that the win against Parra was our best win since the Bennett era.

Can we continue & make the top 4 like 2009?

2018 semi vs Brisbane for me.

We were no chance to win it.

But we belted Brisbane.

Put Wayne in his place.

Sent Thaiday out as a loser.
85mins from a grand final right? I forgot about that one. But that win cost us both Widdop & JdB to injury to serious injury. Any then Hunt cost us the semi against Souths.

I’d contest we’re playing a better style of footy now. Not reliant on one or two players. Playing the percentages much better.

Nope.

2018 semi final was pure, unadulterated, scaly dragon porn.

As a fan I have fair more belief in the team now than during any of the wins or streaks during the previous coach.

Listen to his press conferences... This guy actually knows rugby league, he gives insight into opposition and strategy and has high expectations that come with a plan.

That 2018 final was brilliant but this one comes with more belief and excitement in what's to come. Both wins were pretty complete performances, I'd say it's a dead heat.

must admit that the way the boys are defending and taking no prisoners does take you back to the bennett era ( pity we have had misery since ) i think there is still improvement in the team and with the addition of mguire and hopefully JDB we can just keep getting better. Hook has them believing and playing to their strengths not a dumb horrible unimaginative game plan. I just want to hear some of these experts actually eat humble pie and admit that we are the real deal

2018 semi was the best since the end of 2011.
Also that year in around round 5 or 6 we beat Manly at Brookvale and the team were on fire.
I think we are all simply getting caught up in that feel good wining feeling as we have missed it the past two seasons.
But it feels great to start the year like this.
