I am not so sure we will lose but odds are we will.
The point of this thread is to look at it from another perspective and see how teams think they can beat us.
Ideally we lose the first four games or five then do not lose another match for the season and win the premiership.
I think our list is quiet strong especially depth wise.
I think JR can go on for a couple of years then we will see. I know others disagree but I am confident he can stay strong. I think our forward line could do something out of the box with the options at our disposal. Our midfield is a lot stronger.
I said to some friends RFC is looking imposing to me. One responded he rated Hopper more than Taranto and then questioned our pace in the midfield. I responded well we have Bolton, Prestia. I also thought is Hopper and Taranto slow anyway??
I said we can skip our midfield anyway, go from our backline straight to our forward structure.
Are there weaknesses in our backline? Dunno but I think depth wise our RFC list is looking very good. I think our reserves should give the 2nds comp a shake to!!!
I do not think we are a team of superstars but I think we are a well balanced list, well rounded, bit like Melbourne 2021 potentially and hopefully we can combine into a most effective well rounded team that goes all the way. Hopefully we can be a superstar team that can be victorious helping each other progress and excel!! Cross fingers with the injuries to
The other thing is mentally we won in 2017 not believing the premiership was even possible thus the tears from Richo on the sidelines when it eventuated. So there was no fear of loss when its hard to conceive we can win it all. Likewise naturally we cannot fear losing because we have not won anything of late so we have to work hard and put the effort in because its very difficult, nothing is guaranteed and hopefully we get the chance to play our best!!!
