I think your looking at this with blue, black and white goggles and its clouding your view a bit. We are making a mountain of errors weekly. We are far from clinical. We threw the Penrith game away and we rode our luck against Souths. We need to improve. A LOT. There is absolutely no guarantee that we dont drop a game going into the finals.
Of course I do
I do not have any other goggles
Joking aside, for the last one month before every game I kept saying we may lose this one and my wife kept saying "we're gonna win". We know what has happened. I do not know what it is but may be there is something special brewing or may be our team just got on the good sides of the footy gods. Who would have thought Latrell would miss 3 field goals last night? I do not know his stats but it would not surprise me if those were the only 3 golden point kicks he missed this year.
We do have lots of errors and we do make dumb mistakes. No one is denying that or saying everything is perfect. On top of all that, the refs are so inconsistent, it is hard to predict anything. However, we keep going on, we keep winning and we are becoming a pretty exciting footy team that just does not go away. May be it is as Fitzy said, we are finding out who we are and I like who we are becoming.
I agree with you that there is no guarantee that we do not drop any games. Yet, there is no guarantee that we will either.
The other teams know that it does not matter if they are dominant during the game because our defense is also getting better. We are much more desperate this year. On top of that, if we make it to the other end, there is a good chance we score. It does not matter if you are Titans or Panthers we score, and we score easily. Especially when we are switched on, we are a nightmare for any defense.
I do not know; there is just something about this year and what this team is becoming that makes me positive and excited.
