Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3064369, member: 9358"] What’s actually interesting about this match up is if we were to win, we’d be only 3 points behind Souths with only 1 loss more than them with 2 rounds left to go. It’s crazy when you look into it because you look at their season in comparison to ours, you’d think they would be a 12 point better team on the ladder. Especially when you consider their opening half of the season they were 10 from 11 and we were like 4 from 11 I think and then you look at our bumbling season where we have been diabolical in big patches throughout the season with basically one of the worst spines in the comp with no decent attacking structures. Then add on crucial injuries and suspensions, Origin representation, letting rep players go mid season, etc, and as bad as we are playing for the most part, all things considered at least we are competing and doing alright results wise in comparison. South have had their problems too but if I’m a Souths fan, I’d be alarmed considering how big a point gap they had on us and they’ve had almost the same amount of issues to contend with throughout the season. If anything we have had more excuses then them and they have a far better and settled spine. You could also argue that both teams have gone backwards after the coaching swap, so for all this talk about we shouldn’t have let go of Bennett, I’d say both coaches are probably both equally below par. Seibold depending on the next 3 weeks can maybe get us as high as 7th which is one place worse than last season for Brisbane and Bennett looks likely to finish 6th when you consider the Eels draw compared to Souths which is 3 places worse than 2018. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It doesn’t excuse our season but I’d argue we have a lot more upside then Souths moving forward if they get blasted out in Week 1 of the finals. [/QUOTE]
