I’m curious. I know the knights have had some injury concerns however there team is essentially the result of having a similar young squad playing a few years together (not dissimilar to our current) with the eventual addition of about 6 marque ‘strike’ players.
Now the knights haven’t made the finals since 2013 and although it’s unlikely for them to drop out. There form may have them drop out in the first match.
Their situation is this.
A star half.
A star prop.
A local prop becoming an origin player.
A origin fullback
A former origin back row.
And the best rated young coach in the game.
I can’t see any reason for this team losing the way they are other than that the whole club isn’t sure of what it takes to win?
Is there a culture of losing in clubs that is just impossible to shake?
