Before everyone jumps down my throat. Hear me out. I genuinely want people to say what they expected this year. Top 4? Top 8? 8-12? 13-17?
And for the first 10 weeks of the season. How many games do people think we will win?
Round 1. Yes disappointing. Dumb plays. But how is that on Ciraldo? Why is our halfback on the last, passing it then to our five eight, then to our second rower to kick? Why didn’t our five eight launch it?
Did people actually expect us to come out and smash Manly by 50? Not going to happen. Was never going to happen. Manly are a good team; most experts have them top 8. Turbo stays fit, top 4. They’re a good footy team with a settled spine.
My thoughts. Yesterday was shit. But there’s plenty to work on. I actually thought our defence was solid and an improvement on years gone by. I expect us to be around 10-12th on the ladder. And we’ll be a slow burn this season. We’ll see our best footy at the back end of the season.
I’m prepared to be 0-5. Maybe 2-8 after 10 rounds. People need to calm the fuck down and give the team time to gel.
