Big bird was on about this in another thread. To be brutally honest the wins against the tigers, the dogs and the sharks (to an extent--more fight in them than the other 2) were underachievements given the evident superiority when we really turned it on.
It's early days, and we've done enough to be 5/6, and it's a long long way to go, and we've had a heap of new players in the forwards.
But this is the difference between us and the Storm. Storm vs Rabbits: rabbits were pretty solid for the 80 mins, worked their way into some good scoring chances, but didn't capitalise and when they let the pressure off the Storm took every opportunity on offer. Rabbits were beaten mentally for mine by half time.
Our defence looks much more focussed and switched on this season, so that is a really good sign. The rabbits game will be a good test of how we are going in the consistency stakes. If they play well they will make us pay for slacking off.
