I like Josh's post. I share similar thoughts.

We have not had a settled side since 2022.

When we did have a settled side, way back in the 2nd half of 2023, when perennially injured players, Martin, Cuningham, Williams, Gov, Marchbank all came back into the team, we won 10/11 games. Like them, we ran out of petrol tickets in the PF.

Our injury list started with 13 out in round zero. A couple weeks back we got it down to 5, and hovers around 7. We need players learning to play together under the same game plan, and that familiarity will enable them to be onfield coaches adjusting positioning to support the Game Plan. I'm only guessing, but there's evidence a settled team is a winning team.

That's the near miracle I'm hopin' for Josh .

I like the sentiment too but the improvement in game style?

I don't see it at all. Yeah we're competitive but we lack any of the weapons - underdeveloped or not - to trouble strong sides.

Mental fragility is our biggest weakness. Kicking is a close second.
