Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3595061, member: 1899"] In other words, I agree. If I had to pick two reasons... Firstly, it's because they virtually came from nowhere to make the Top 4. There was hardly an indication they were about to have this amazing season. Outside of his experience at Penrith, Webster didn't have the best CV and while they were expected to improve if only because they were back in NZ, a lot of their best players were on the wrong side of 30 or looked like they had been chewed up and spat out. Usually when you see teams pull something like that off like the Bulldogs in 09 or Roosters/Panthers in 2010 there's usually a bounce back factor. Making things tougher, it's the Warriors. Ever since 2004, they've never been able to keep a good thing going. Even when they had Cleary as coach, they could never build upon some of their more successful seasons and usually they'd finish with a wet sail and fall to a heap the following season (eg 2008 into 09, 2011 into 12). New year, new Warriors but I think that's where the apprehension is coming from. In the end, it won't really matter come kick off. I thought they looked good during the trials and RTS turns one of their biggest weaknesses into a strength. [/QUOTE]
