They’re pretty buoyant for a club that’s had their first win in 17 attempts… and second in 23 games.
Not to mention they’ve had teams a lot stronger than the one they’ll be putting on the park next week and still haven’t managed to trouble us (win/loss wise) in 5 years.
I’m on the draft pick wagon, so I’m ok with them getting excited and winning this one - so long as our effort is there.
With 2 games against them as well as games against; Haw, Ade, Pies, GC, Syd, and GWS, still to come… we’re in real danger of winning 8 - 11 games and turning it into a really nothing season.
In my fantasy land, they do that anyway (with lots of close losses and known injuries).
I think we’re 1 - 2 top quality talent, plus 12 - 24 months of development into existing talent, off being a really good list.
I don’t truck with tanking, but un-intentional learnings…
