From a punting perspective I have a blanket rule to never trust form in the first four weeks. I start forming an opinion from week 6 onwards.
Imagine we won the tight ones against Roosters and Storm?. We weren't far off. Yet Matty Johns writes an article that makes us sound like the worst NRL team to jog onto a ground.
Reynolds and Mbye have been given a little more freedom this year. It was always going to take them a little while to get use to getting the ball more often. Hoppa going down messed with them a great deal and that has been greatly underestimated. We looked like we could actually attack with him in the team and the last thing our halves needed was to lose an option in attack.
This is not some positive post about how we are going ok. Our attack is a mess. We need to straighten up and stop going sideways. I understand the frustrations around our team and Des too.
If a couple of tight ones went our way and we didn't lose a key position player we probably wouldn't be reading the end of the world articles from "experts" in round 4.
