Ever since Gould stopped coaching us, each year he has predicted us to finish lower on the table than other 'experts'.
Gus knows the weight of expectation does not do teams any favours. There is no malice in his tips - quite the opposite. Everyone loves an underdog and everyone loves being the underdog.
lol...Gould hasn't tipped us highly in years. Whether its to keep expectations and egos low, an attempt to not seem biased, or even if he actually believes it, it's no surprise.
What I don't understand is how Canberra get tipped for the spoon every year. There are so many worse teams.

Absolutely! With so many juniors constantly coming through and the fact that everyone hates playing in freezing conditions, Canberra always win their share of games.
The spooners usually come from Sydney where the pressure is higher and the local talent pool is spread more thinly. I miss the days when it was a given that the rabbits would get the spoon.
