I'm tempering my expectations of us "clicking" and thetefore vastly improving enough to surmount a terribly hard draw, back to back to back to back against the NRL Top 4.

Teams who are experienced and regularly enough blew opposition away by 40 or more points this season.

We got no favours and in fact the worst outcome of any team. Compare to Titans draw etc. Even Storm would complain about a draw which saw them back to back Top4 in a row. How fans can say it won't be a factor in our momentum for the 2022 season and we have to play them all anyway, is fairy land non-reality thinkin on how hard it will be for our team to compete and even recover week to week if it all goes pear shaped with massive scores.

Happened. Cards dealt.

A huge challenge no other team has been asked to manage and deal with.

But def a massive disadvantage to overcome for the boys so early in their campaign while they are finding their feet.

However, now we deal with it and get on with it.

(And no ba$tard better be whinging about tired, stuffed looking players by Round 6 :grinning:

Coastal. North of Bundy :grinning:
I'll be in Townsville May 2 next year, to start one of my Dino tours out to Hughenden, Richmond and Winton. Just wondered whether you were near there, but not so. Will pass through Bundy on 13th May, on the "Spirit of the Outback" from Longreach, so I might wave out the window.
