What all of this means

[Vasco]

This crap we are copping means only one thing.

All things equal we are clearly the best team.

By rights we should have been beaten by 20 or more.

Our boys showed great tenacity to hold on against all odds.

Be proud boys.

The NRL want a new team winning every year so we better get used to copping bad calls.

Easts to win.

If we defend like that but hold onto the damn ball + add SBW i cant see anyone beating us... Manly are the second best team in the comp IMO and even tho they didnt have B.Stewart i cant see them getting much more of a one sided game then that and even then they only beat us by 8 points.

[Tommy Smith]

SBW is our confidence.

And whilst you can cover his loss for a game, his absence takes its toll after 3 weeks.

Whilst he will return unfortunately I suspect we will now be without JWH for 4-6 weeks!

Very annoying but rather now than in September.

[Vasco]

What JWH did does not warrant such a penalty.

It just adds to what I am saying.

[Tommy Smith]

It's not even worth a charge imo but I suspect they will go after him.

And with his carry over points he's ****ed.

But back on topic ... if we're fit come finals time then we are clearly the best team as you said.

They beat us by a try despite some of the most lopsided penalty and possession stats you'll see.

I suspect this should be our song dedicated to the NRL.

I'm taking it as a positive.

Backs against the wall.

Eye of the tiger.

There's a defining game every season. I reckon that was ours.

We just bank that one and no matter how tough they want to make the ride we remember round 4 and smile.

Then hurt someone.

Easts.

Defensively sound .Attack wise well like Vasco said they have to hold onto the ball .The forwards have been on the slack in the meter eating department big time against Manly hence no good ball and no back line play.
So Forwards pull your finger out.

Same start as last year mate. Defence sound, attack spluttering.

I'm sure if we trawled the posts and threads a year ago the same ones would still be making the same old fart jokes.
