Message: [QUOTE="ningnangnong, post: 3493851, member: 1848"] I think a few on here and in the media are getting ahead of themselves. I've enjoyed the start we've made too, and I'd love to start dreaming about a premiership, but I can't. We've been burnt too many times in the last few years. I'm not saying this team will do the same thing, but once bitten, twice shy and all that. From the outside, it appears there has definitely been a culture shift, and the players and coaching staff seem a lot more grounded and focussed. You couldn't ask for a better start to the season, but we're going to hit a tough period eventually. It may be because of injuries, Origin, or just plain old poor mentality. It's about how we weather that storm and come out of it at the other end. The attitude has to remain, regardless of winning or losing. I don't care if there's a period where we lose three or four on the trot, as long as we're still putting in the effort and playing intelligent footy. The team can't let losing get to them, just like they can't let winning get to them either. I hard on about it, but for me, our next game is always our biggest. Sure, take the positives from the previous week/s, but really look at the negatives and try to improve on those. Don't think too far ahead, just stay focussed on the present and the rest will follow. This squad has one of the best forward packs in the comp, and nearly all of our backs possess some kind of 'x-factor' (I hate that term). We don't need to overcomplicate things. As long as our forwards keep rolling on, opposition teams will fatigue and gaps will open. Enter electric players like Walsh, Mam, Herbie, etc to exploit those gaps. [/QUOTE]
