Reality Check!
Before you all go mad writing us off and bagging everyone from Des to the cleaners, consider the following:
2012
Round 6 Souths 20 Bulldogs 10 LOSS
Round 7 Storm 12 Bulldogs 6 LOSS
Round 8 Manly 12 Bulldogs 10 LOSS
Reasons
Our backs were falling like flies and we had not yet purchased Inu or Perrett. Lost Hod in early rounds and KK new to the normal side.
Down on personnel.
Made it to the GF and were minor premiers once we got a decent complete and regular team on the field.
2013
Round 3 Storm 22 Bulldogs 18 LOSS
Round 4 Souths 17 Bulldogs 12 LOSS
Round 5 Manly 20 Bulldogs 6 LOSS
Reasons
Massive problems with forwards being suspended or injured. Missing Barba till round 4 and Inu suspended.
Down on personnel.
So writing off the side after these losses is pretty dumb, considering it happened the same way for the same reasons last year and look where we ended up.
The only difference between last year and this year is last year we were down on backs and this year forwards. In fact i think we are WORSE off this year!
Pull your heads in, theres 21 rounds to go!
