Wasnt really surprised by the result and tbh the result was never going to be a biggie for me, take out your entire spine (including your on field general), your alpha forward, your captain, and your strike outside back, hence why a number of us went the Phins in the old tipping comp before it went down.
Right move by Webby? I still think it probably was. I guess the question will be how much (if any) of our momentum and confidence it affects......im picking not too much, once all our leaders are back on deck they'll drive that team where it needs to be.
Dont think any of the newbies were poor by any stretch but hopefully that highlights the gap between grades to escpecially those that wax lyrically about certain youngsters that its no given that their talents are automatically going to transfer to be first grade ready out of the block....some may kick on but a lot wont.
Anyway top 4 is such a huge incredible acheivement for our club, we've given ourselves the best chance with that extra life. Panthers are the Everest of challengers but damn......just imagine if we could go over there and knock those bastards off?
