Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 2747821, member: 8255"] lol @ you lot feeding the troll :rant::laugh: There's nothing between the teams, obviously. Their strengths are their starting pack, and the current best player in the game, Thurston. Ours are that we don't lose a whole lot when we interchange our pack (and this for mine is a huge plus considering the age of Parker/Thaiday etc), and the obvious Milf/Hunt who while brilliant on their day (not Friday, sadly) - do not have the game controlling and game breaking ability of Thurston. They're also still a long way off 250 games so can't be expected to be in that class yet (and may never reach it either, though I suspect Milf's ceiling is thereabouts). Our lack of set attacking plays is clear when you compare us to the Cows. They are a better-drilled attacking side, and that's not all down to Thurston. It's come from familiarity (as the commentators alluded to often during the game) and also from the individual brilliance of JT and what he can do; Morgan and Coote as well to a lesser extent. Our 5th tackle options in their half stunk again, when we were there. Yet they had more ball, in far better field position, and still only came away with a 1 point win - despite fatigue, injuries and all the other stuff. As it stands, the teams are equal. With both teams at 100%, playing to their full potential - it's probably still equal. Amazing games, and realistically we deserve another Cows/Broncs GF again this year. The Sharks and Storm will round out the top 4 IMO, but I don't think either can really beat Broncs/Cows if they're on their game. Sharks only scraped the win over us when we only played one half of footy and they had an 18(?) point head start. And the Storm just got home over the Cows who are playing below their ceiling atm. I can't wait to play the Storm tbh, I think that will be a cracker game and a good test of where we're really at. [/QUOTE]
