In the 1st ten rounds of the season, I had a lot of confidence in our team Blunty. But you'd have to think after losing those 6 games in a row (being smashed by Souths, Newcastle etc.) we were in VERY big trouble.
When the legends of your club are saying things like "we are fodder if we limp into this finals series anyway", you aren't really travelling the best.
Whilst we DID beat The Broncos, by ONE point, if you look at their form over the last 7 games they played, we should have won by a lot more.
The other 2 close games - we lost.
We ended the season with an 11 loss from 13 starts..
We lost more than we won.
Blunty - At no times in that past 13 rounds would I have had enough confidence to go and lay money on our team. I don't like it, but it's the way things panned out.
That losing run was one of the very RARE consistent things of the season.
That said though mate. I agree with:-
Bring on 2006 !!!
But changes like Blockhead The Tiger need to be made, or we will continue to be the laughing stock.
