Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 3068112, member: 8315"] Ooohh I find this fascinating. The Cowboys really didn't deserve to make the Grand Final. Every other team just fell over. "Fell over" is a distant cousin of "every other team shit the bed" which itself is within farting distance of "doing a Bradbury." [I]The only reason you're good is because your opponents, who are smarter, tougher, stronger and more talented couldn't produce their best when it mattered...[/I] It's all horse shit. We're seeing it in Cricket as well. Did England win at Headingley? Or did Australia lose? Let's try and put into context what you are downplaying and dismissing here... In the first week of the 2017 finals series, the Cowboys beat the Cronulla Sharks, the defending premiers, by one point in extra time. In the next game, Parramatta probably were a bit flat after a bruising encounter with the Storm. Nevertheless, the Cowboys had to have played pretty good to hang on and take the game 24-16. Their next scalp was the Roosters in a preliminary final. The final score of 29-16 is a little bit misleading. Some ill discipline from the Roosters cost them two penalty goals and it finished up 4 tries to 3 when all was said and done. Does that really sound like teams falling over? All three were tough, hard fought contests. Not enough credit is given to the Cowboys for some amazing performances that series. Another thought, and this will really piss people off, but I think as time goes by and the more I look into it - it's 2015 that is starting to look like an anomaly and aberration. The four or five years either side of 2015 are pretty similar - both for the Broncos and the NRL as a whole. [/QUOTE]
