Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 2882744, member: 8814"] My skepticism in us not winning a premiership in the next 2-3 years is in no way is due to a lack of confidence in the squad that we will have (I think we have improved our squad for next year and we did make the prelim this year with a lot of injuries at the end) or the coaching staff. My skepticism is PURELY down to 3 things: 1. The desire for the nrl to have a fairytale premiership every year (eg retirement of a legend (smith, slater, Thurston, etc. or a 1st/30+ years drought premiership) 2. The influence of the media on refereeing "crack downs" (eg is being off side?) Let's face it, we have NO friends in the media. 3. The wrestle. Pure and simple this is the biggest influence. We actually have a great team of footy players, but in this period of nrl being a footy player comes almost 2nd to being able to wrestle (tim glasby wouldn't be a reserve grader in any other era yet he has a state of origin cap to his name, its sad really) I am positive about our squad... but our early success means our next premiership will be against the odds...
