As I said in my other post the table lied to some degree because we were rooted to the bottom of the table mid way through the season. We strung those wins together and still missed.We missed out by two wins, that's pretty close considering we were tipped to be the spooners before and after the season started.
He was the only one to put the attacking chips in, considering his the shittest attacking half what does that say about the better attacking halves who didn't?
"He strung wins together once our defence started to click which was the major factor in the wins." Bud the argument is based on defence and attack and your admitting defence got us those wins and pretty sure Lewis was a MAJOR factor in the defence of those wins.
Doesn't matter how many tries u can score! As long as you can mange 18 points you can dead set win a comp if you can limit your opposition to less.

Can u see a trend? On only one occasion did the losing team score 18 points. I don't know Spoony but that's evidence 3 tries is sufficient considering u convert those tries of course or get a penalty kick or two.
Anyway spoons we shall see what the seasons beholds.
Cherry picking one chip kick is rather odd when you use that to compare the halves.
Lewis contributed to the defence but he wasn’t a major cause of the improvement. A whole shift in attitude of the team, DWZ’s organisation from the back and Meaney making better reads then Okunbor were way more important then Lewis’ contribution.
Grand final results are great but you have to make it there. I wouldn’t think any of those teams average three tries for the entire year. Using one game a year to back your claim is bizarre.
Yeah we will see what happens! Not long to go.
