The Lucky Wins

[Eesma]

A win is a win. Fuck off.

 

[Noosa Dog]

our for and against shows where we really are

Our for and against has a lot to do with attitude, let’s hope that issue is changing real soon…

 

[Cappuccino]

Only if the Telegraph publish it first.. Then he'll start a new thread on it..

and post his own new thread if anyone can post it, then he gets told he already posted the foxsports rehash of the article
cant make this shit up

 

[D.O.W.]

Let’s be honest. We have won 7 games this year, but we could very easily have only won 1 or 2 and be dead last.
Beat Tigers by 4 points, 4 tries each.
Beat cows by 1 point, a last second JAC try to level up.
Beat Dragons by 2 points, 3 tries each.
Beat Titans by 2 points, having trailed 18-0 and scoring 2 tries directly off Burton Bombs, and Okunbor last minute try after a few deflected passes.
Beat South’s by 4 points, they missed 10 players due to origin/injury. Almost lost that game.
Beat Dolphins by 1 point, Isaako Missed conversion otherwise they would’ve won.

Wild view of things, fans seemingly losing the plot now scraping the bottom of the barrel - you could also argue the ones we could have won…. The Roosters loss by 1pt immediately comes to mind, if Burton doesn’t go wide from play 1 40m out, we get ourselves a clean shot at the win…. Also, we ran a last second play deemed “forward” involving Avo who would have gone the distance untouched.

Some of our own fans need a change in attitude too - I’m all for criticism wherever due but this thread takes the Fkn cake

Shit thread ,we were also unlucky, warriors game for example.

 

[Moedogg]

We started the season 3/5. Could've easily been 4/5 if we had beaten the Warriors. Our season imploded in round 6 when we lost Kiks and picked up all sorts of injuries to our players. If anything, we've been unlucky not to get a chance to build on momentum.

 

[Dogs Of War]

What about all the games we lost but could've one? If you did one way to might as well do the other.

Also I remember in 2006, Melbourne Storm won most of their games by small margins as they were focusing on defense.

It's not all one-way traffic like you're making it seem mate.

And really that's what I'm hoping next year. Get our defence in order and the fitness to go with it. Jag a few wins by just defending well and scoring enough to grab the points. Don't care if it's 6-4 win, it's all 2 points on the table. Confidence will build as we get a few of those up our sleeves. For me that's the best outcome next year. You can build a good team just off a good defence.

We also lost some games early on with shit calls (warriors winning off an obstruction plan for example) and unfair binnings contributing to the losses. If we'd won those we might have grown in confidence and been on the fringe of the 8.

And what exactly is your point. No use creating a thread simply offering a pointless opinion unless you also offer an avenue to discuss it.

 

[Dognacious]

Yeh we needed a thread to make us feel even worse about only 7 wins. Champion

 

[John Matrix]

A win is a win, we could have easily won more too if it was for some bad calls and stupidity.

 

[Malla]

We could have easily won another 4 games too. Just the way the NRL is

Yep , bit like the dolphins when the we’re going great guns ,problem is that when you don’t have depth these things will happen, the only difference between us and the dolphins they signed experience players .

 

[CBDoggies]

I’d prefer to win by 1 then get thrashed by 40 every week

Agree - no depth and always going to fizzle out imo. Dolphins are a protected species being new to the comp - over exceeded in the eyes of many - harsh reality is they’ve won 2 of their last 12 games…

In my view, This player and culture circus is the best thing to have happened to the club, the line in the sand around standards has been publicly drawn - importantly, Ciro’s stance had been backed by everyone in the media - essentially, players have been called out. I think it’s the circuit breaker we desperately needed. Only the resilient will remain.

 

[Scoooby]

It doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning’s winning.

Repeat hahahaa !!

Could also go the other way based on your reasoning.
Could have won another 6 and finished 5th

 

[CroydonDog]

do we get to count unlucky/close losses

TBF, there weren't many of those this year.

 

[B-Train]

TBF, there weren't many of those this year.

You're right, there weren't many. The Warriors in round 4 with what should have been a blatant obstruction late in the game that gave them the match winning try and the 1 point loss to The Roosters are the two games that stand out.

Point is, those close losses don't count as wins either so it's a stupid argument to make to not count certain wins. You play to win the game.
