I know all that mate, but they also had a defence like a leaky ship. Webster comes in and immediate noticeable difference. We both know it’s only round 2 but it worries me that we are not losing gritty 12-6 or 14-4 games, we are still leaking high twenty’s.
Warriors in 2022 were in a much worse position than what we were plus we recruited big for the 2023 season. We were widely tipped to make the 8 in 2023 the Warriors were tipped to be amongst the challengers for 16th spot with Dolphins winless in 17th spot.
What a crock of shit..
To be fair, it was 6-6 at half time and should have been 12-6, and the sharks didn't score again until the 67th minute. Despite similar points differential, we are without a doubt a much better defensive team. We will get there, this team just needs a few more games together to put it all together.
12-6 after 67 mins. Similar situation against parra. We were definitely in both of those games bar a 5 minute or so period. Both teams have much better forward packs and halves, and have both been together for a long while.
The other issue is that every proven coach started as a rookie. You'll never find diamonds without a bit of digging. I'm sure I read that Craig Bellamy applied to coach the Tigers when he first started coaching but they knocked him back because of his lack of experience. I bet the Tigers have been regretting that decision for twenty odd years. Life is easy in hindsight.Still feel the same a week later Alzz after Flanagan and his charges copped a 38-0 drubbing? You also said the Bulldogs screwed up not appointing Holbrook and these days he’s an assistant. Ah, hindsight.
I agree with both posts mate, that’s why I say 10 rounds is a fair gauge. After that there are no more excuses, it is what it is.
Warriors came 15th in 2022.
That’s 5 mins of your time your will never get back.
They've won a premiership since we last won one. We have both been under achievers.
He's full of shit, his posts are filled with lies and bullshit, truckloads of bullshit
Betting odds had us above Warrior for 2023 before the season started. Fact. Dolphin the same.
Their best 17 shat all over ours. The betting agencies also has Soufs as GF certainties…
That's fine but Polly's post wasn't a crock of shit.
We were WIDELY tipped to make the 8 were we? Let's go one better and say we were WIDELY tipped to make the GF
There were personalities in the game tipping us to make the 8, which I didn't agree with to be fair. The Warrior and Dolphin thing is also true, betting agencies had us above both of them. We always get worst case scenario which isn't good enough in itself.
In any case it's a stupid argument to bring up, because these "experts" regularly get it wrong. Polly only does it to shit on the club's administrators, no other reasons, he looks for confirmation bias to shit on the club while Gus is in charge
