It's a "**** you" season

[Loobs]

As the baddest man on the planet once said, "I like being the underdog. I like turning around and shutting people up when they tell me I can't..."

They all want us to fail. We love to disapoint.

 

[globaleagle]

They are good seasons for sure.


Though I will also take being raging hot favourites and also winning a GF, over everyone writing us off, performing well, but just missing out. Wait...I'll also take being written off and winning a GF.... there's a pattern!

Great season ahead if history is anything to go by

They think green got us from 13th to 5th? It beggars belief.

 

[BOZO]

Talk is cheep . The results come from the players actions on the field

Reading some of the press you’d think Green is a future immortal

When he came they said he couldn’t win outside of Melbourne.

“Joel Thompson helps fill their back-row hole in an intimidating forward pack that spreads fear through the competition”.

That is interesting. Gives our forward pack a huge wrap and then tips us for 14th. Means our halves and backs are the worse in league history if that’s the case #logicfail

I concur with the thread title ..... **** 'em!

Why do people get their knickers in a knot over Sporting News articles ? They are so NFI I even saw them quoting a @Mark from Brisbane tweet in one of their articles the other day

That's the latest one but 360 panned us (similar position), most others have just said nup... I'm yet to see an article with us in the 8.

NRL.COM quoted us at 8th spot I think.

I am happy that they contemptly dismiss our team, that normally turns around and bites our critics. I see this season as a chance for our young players to grow and the expectations are that we can at least repeat last seasons result.

We have weaknesses, we need to tighten our ruck defence because that killed us at the back end of last season. I see us scoring plenty of points.

I am not too worried about our 5/8, I think both Croker and Hastings will cover it adequately, I think our bigger weakness is the front row.

We need to win the majority of games at home. For the last few years, too many home defeats.

There is plenty to look forward to!!

Most of them wouldn't know if the Manly ferry was up them ... until the people started getting off.

nah, Stewart and Matai, cannot easily replace 2 internationals.

** Probably about as far as the research went for this article
