Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2441903, member: 2115"] you missed my point, but thanks for playing. if someone told me that we'd be just outside the top 4 at this stage, with all that has happened, it wouldnt really mean much to me unless you also told me how we were playing. at this stage we're just outside the top 4 but we would struggle to beat the eels. we were flying along, but then all those things you mentioned happened - new halves pairing, losing your international winger for the season after a couple of rounds, having at times 7 players involved in origin, the stack of injuries - and we have completely fallen apart, gone from major premiership contenders to just looking like making up the numbers, if that. so no, i wouldnt have been stoked because it doesnt show the whole picture. yay we're 5th, but we've been playing terrible and have struggled to snag a win here and there for like 8 weeks. the competition these days isnt as much about ladder position as it is about form in the last 6 weeks or so. to make the finals you dont even need to win half your games. as newcastle have shown, you can be the joke of the league for half of the season, but string 3-4 wins in a row and all of a sudden youre finals bound. making the 8 isnt much of an accomplishment anymore. at the moment, teams that have won 8 out of 18 are right up there in contention for the top 8, being only 2 points out. theyre only 6 points out of the top 4! 13th spot is 6 points from the top 4. so us being just outside the top 4 isnt some shining beacon of achievement.
