Everyone is entitled to an opinion & MOST have merit....I have seen apart from the Dogs game (totally dominated) this pack stand up & deliver.
That includes 60 minutes against Rabbits once the A defenders realised Jake was not there & switched on.
Thing is - most opposition packs have worked in tangent forming combinations for a few seasons....we have a totally new look side featuring Myles, Lussick, Kapow plus Brown & Green to a lessor extent & 2 brand new hookers in Parcell & Api, the KEY position on the field !!
After just 6 games ahead of time imo & apart from 4 teams in Brisbane, Nth Qld, Dogs & the underrated Raiders - feel comfortable against the rest already in the forwards.
Come finals time (which I believe we finish 5-7) this side will be tough to beat, with more improvement at Manly than any other team.
Most would have taken 3 from 6 at this stage & if it turns into 4 from 7 come Thursday, watch the Doomsday addicts run for shelter.
