Lots of threads on here about injuries / bad luck etc.
Let's look at it objectively:
- Out of all the top eight contenders, we had the least number of REP players. Therefore we had very little disruption during the 6 weeks Origin was on.
- Our two main guys, Benji and Robbie played almost every game.
Conversely:
- Manly : have had the season from hell and missed their main player all season. They are ABOVE us.
- Penrith: had Lewis hurt playing Origin AND lost Petro during that period…their two best players missed a lot of football. They are ABOVE us.
- Newcastle: massive turmoil, coach sacked, Gidley missed games, not a lot of real talent there, their big $ forward Ben Cross has hardly played a game. They are ABOVE us.
\

I could go on...Souths will be above us if they win this week and we lose. They've had a lot more injuries than us.
I am kind of sick and tired of the excuses.
We were without some players, but nothing more than most. We hardly had any rep commitments.
We don't really have a legitimate claim to being 'unlucky' compared to some teams above us.
