define top team? for mine, top 8 is a top team, i would have them in that bracket
So you think Souths and Saints are top teams? Nup.

Penrith, Storm and arguably the Cows are the top teams. Parra have beaten Penrith and Storm which no other team will do this year, so they probably are as well despite losing to **** teams.

In your head, rent free
Souths are, wait for latrell to come back

saints are punching above their weight

can you call the cowbiys a top team when penrith beat them 26-0? judging by your logic, no

to be a top team you gotta make the finals, canberra should but a bad start will cost them, rooster may leapfrog the saints, may not

Penrith will do that to most teams mate, you know that.

They beat Storm by 26 as well, Storm not a top team?

You can talk about top teams NOW or back then, but we've seen most teams go hot and cold over this season. Raiders, Dragons and the Dogs are suddenly looking pretty good. Parra, us and even Melbourne has shown they can have a wheel fall off occassionally. Newy and NZ are rooted. Only Penrith could claim to be a top side all season.

Canberra is one of the better teams?
Against us they are. Have they beaten us 8 of the last 9, or is it 7 of the last 8 encounters? Drives me insane how their forward role straight up Route 66. But Moyza & friends almost got us home, but for a Ramian brain fade.

"Yeah he played well but why can't he play that well against the better teams?"

Because they are literally a better team and thus, by definition, more difficult to play well against.
It's a tough concept.
Good players play good against good teams. .Even when nothing is on they make something happen. Literally happens all the time.

Tough concept maybe too tough for a player like Moylan - for Moylan he’s shown he needs to be playing on the front foot, good teams don’t let that happen often.

I reckon South’s will more than likely miss the 8, there run home is not great & whilst they get Latrell back I won’t be surprised if he takes atleast 4 weeks to get humming in games, they don’t have a spare 4 weeks to wait for him to click.

Fox reporting Moylan close to a 2yr deal worth 800k

Still have a preference for him to be retained on 1yr with option but 400k a year isn't a terrible result if true.
