Big thanks to the Broncos for getting thumped last night and letting us past them on the ladder.

Actually it isn't sad at all.The ladders pretty sad viewing compared to last year. All of the talk about improving our starts to the year have been short lived.
... I preferred last year when we were first for a whileActually it isn't sad at all.
On points differential, which usually shows to be the correct measure we are one place below where we should be i.e.12th instead of 11th.
Going on memory...and that would have been when we beat St George, but our points differential was different to our position for much of last season until we ended up where we deserved to be. The Cowboys are the imposters so far.... I preferred last year when we were first for a while![]()
I agree there is value to judging by the points differential but i feel its more just an indication of your general position on the ladder.Going on memory...and that would have been when we beat St George, but our points differential was different to our position for much of last season until we ended up where we deserved to be.

Also, our differential has us only 5 points (and one win) behind the Eels in 8th position.
I don't think we are top eight material, but who knows what could happen. This is a very even competition.
I have posed this before, just wait until the end of the season and look at the positions and differentials. Try looking at the EPL as well. Works just the same there Not always 100%, but more often than not it is. This season is not over yet.I agree there is value to judging by the points differential but i feel its more just an indication of your general position on the ladder.
Look at the last US elections... Clinton won on for and against; Trumps the presidentI have posed this before, just wait until the end of the season and look at the positions and differentials.

I wasn't joking. I was deadly serious. The season isn't over yet. Stats do not lie.Look at the last US elections... Clinton won on for and against; Trumps the president![]()
Had a peek at our draw yet? We have probably had the softest draw to date out of any NRL team.I wasn't joking. I was deadly serious. The season isn't over yet. Stats do not lie.
Fair comment, but we did actually almost beat the Storm (2) at home, and apart from the Rorters and Souths this is a very even competition. I cannot recall that many teams so close on points differential around the eight.Had a peek at our draw yet? We have probably had the softest draw to date out of any NRL team.
All our wins have come against the bottom 4 teams on the ladder right now:
Bulldogs (16)
Titans (14)
Dragons (13)
Panthers (15)
We might jag a win or two against top 8 teams as injuries/origin make their impact felt for other teams, but it wont be enough to make the 8. Not trying to be a downer, but realistic.
If we wanted to have a realisitic chance at making the 8, we needed a solid opening to the season. That starting draw was a great opportunity to build some momentum and confidence coming into the first bye. We didnt, because we kept rewarding mediocrity and having blind faith, well now its a little too late.
