The purples have exceeded most peoples expectations myself included. They have 3-4 stars & the rest make up the numbers but i did not think they could hold the intensity this long. Still believe a lack of overall quality means little hope come the finals. Illawarra are very predictable but give nothing & unless the execution is way better in that red zone it will be a slow death. Still have an 08 feel that the Seaeagles can click & beat them well on any given day. Only others are Boncos & Nth Qld (with Thurston) & Tigers who defend poorly & can only win a shootout not a grind.
Storm are a good team this thread is nothing but jealousy..You just have to look at last year when they were getting torn apart from pillar to post by the salary cap auditors , the media & any one else who threw their 2 bobs worth in. Last yr they were stripped of their points & dropped to the bottom of the ladder on minus points,& yet somehow for a team who had nothing to play all year accumulated more wins than we did .. Dont underestimate them .
I say jealousy only because if we were on top & not storm & we had their draw, everyone in hear wouldn`t be commenting on how we have played more games at home & blah blah blah..
