"Winners don't think about things in that way. They don't think about what could possibly go wrong. They have a real clarity around what they need to do to win and I'm trying to create that with this group of players.
"If you expect something to go wrong, it will. So you try to rail against that, but how you do that is just a clear-eyed focus on what's important."
We Wests Tigers fans have also been bruised lots since '05, but the 2025 crew is showing a marked uptick for me.
