Having a late surge generally doesn't mean much with players playing for contracts etc. and if the club has had a tough year, but if you look at the above comparison for rounds 16-22 for 2018 and 2019 a couple of things stand out.
#We still had Morris boys and Klem etc. in 2018
#We won 4 from 7 in 2019 compared to 3 from 7 in 2018
#We only beat 1 top 8 side in this period in 2018 and there was only 2 top 8 teams total in those 7 games compared to 5 top 8 teams this year with 2 top 8 wins and the other 2 sides in 2019 (Knights and Tigers still in the hunt for the 8 and we beat both)
#We have strung 3 in a row
#Loss to sharks was close with only the Broncos loss and second half Roosters being really poor effort
We are definitely I believe in a better place than this time last year with a real chance to jag 2 of our last 3 games as wins.
So, as long as they have rectified the pre-season or lack there of, land a couple more decent signings, we could be in reasonable shape for kick off in 2020. So maybe it does matter?
Good comparitive analysis
