Couldnt agree more.
We are solid this year and I'm feeling more confident than in previous years with our structures. Our defence and forward attack is vastly improved, Nicho has his hands on the ball less, bench is the best in the NRL - The only speed bump is trindall - he's really let the club down but fingers crossed atkinson stars for us. So I wouldn't change much.
What is this obsession with the top eight?? Its ridiculous. Of course we can beat anyone regardless of the top eight. We lost to the tigers and they arent in the top eight. We beat the doggies who are. We also beat the Cows and warriors who I think will make the eight.
The top eight is no imaginary threshold we cant pass.
Lasty year we beat the Roosters, Knights, Raiders and lost a final by a point to the roosters, 3 top eight teams. Of last years top eight, we have beaten warriors, raiders x 2 already this year.
5 weeks in a row we have scored 30+, 2 weeks we have put on 82 points with 6 against, we are currently the best defensive team in the comp, with the best bench in the comp, 5th best attack and we are coming first with barely any injuries - we can beat any team in this comp regardless of where they sit on the ladder.
