You might need to borrow @HaroldBishops sarcasm radar mate!
I know you were being kinda sarcastic mate but there are comments like that all the time about if we are a serious contender we will beat X pleb team by X amount and when we don't fans are disappointed that although we won it wasn't by enough points or we didn't play well enough.
It's a tough comp, no team can be fire every week and struggling teams do step up sometimes against the top sides - it's swing and roundabouts but every week we are learning and building regardless of the opposition or the result.
Panthers, Storm, Cows don't blow away the bad teams every time (almost lose even) and it isn't a big deal if we don't as long we are working towards putting our best foot forward in the most important matches - the championship rounds so to speak.
I would rather the Sharks show me they can beat Brisbane, Roosters & the Raiders teams than put another cricket score on the lowly Bulldogs.
I think we anaylse and expect things so much on here we sometimes forgot how to just celebrate and enjoy a win like we did when we were kids or casual non forum posting fans
Perhaps we are just getting older and more jaded and haven't recovered from the post 2016 disappointment of not dominating the comp for the next 10 years and becoming a superclub powerhouse like we were told we would be.
Oh well less start this year I say!
