Interesting read these 2022 predictions.
Goes to show how we were still flying high from that 2021 season.

Geeze 2022 was a bad year.
That ultra tough fixture knocked the wind out of the team. Injuries and losing Hooker and Tippa and the goals they would kick, did the rest.
 
Bump. Thought it would be interesting, then found I s***posted rather than contributed :(

Interesting read retrospectively still though.

Port as runners up.
Surprise win of the year - Brisbane.

Many here had us as a top 8 side. citizen-erased, top 4 :oops:
I didn’t post, but I probably would have been optimistic. Although, after round 1 I had us bottom 4 so my optimism evaporated very quickly.
