Mate don’t rationalise on this forum . Some people love to death ride . Be optimistic, it’s a better headspace than slitting your wrists waiting for the season to start .
I personally have no idea . I will say this did I expect a team with a halves pairing of Jackson Hastings and Tyson gamble to make the final 6 ? God no . ( I know it was mainly Ponga having a career year) .
And who would have thought a washed Shaun Johnson and his merry band of 5/8 would propel that team to the final 4. No one .
if we can find some centres who can tackle and these halves know how to strip numbers , then we will see .
Bear in mind Canberra are definitely going backwards , if the “brooks is shit club” are right then so are manly . (I think they’re wrong , but some of you have been screaming this message for so long , here’s your chance ) . St George are planning a halves partnership of Flanagan and …. I dunno . Hunt will be at the dolphins . Will they be better ? I’d say so they’ve recruited well .
Who knows.. all I know is we will be young and frustrating to watch , because we are so young . Be positive it’s a good thing .
