Yes and no, we can win a few games at the back of the season if we don't get suspensions and injuries are kind to us... If we played like we did today against Canberra and Titans we'd be on 6 points on the ladder. It's all about keeping that effort like we had in the first 40 and we will beat the shit sides around us
I have this theory that teams lower their level against us.
We have been in the match early in quite a few games, but only because the opposition seems off their game, almost rusty or misfiring. This is usually followed by a runaway score...
Penrith were that today. They weren’t pumped for the game today, just going through the motions. Still put a lazy 30 on us.
I think we still find a way to lose to most teams today.
That said, I was impressed with the dogs first half. I think it’s proof that these guys CAN play...enough with the excuses, Barrett should be getting more out these guys - the first half today reinforces this.
