If you go back to the original post in this thread, in amongst his general pro-Synbad rant grrofunger said that people on this site still have their Wizard Cup Coloured glasses on.
You then posted that, on the basis of our Wizard Cup form, we should be able to win 11.5 games this season. You couldn't have proved his point more if you'd been trying.
The "we're better than his cause we were good in the Wizard Cup" line is a pet hate of mine. The "lets still try and win games" lobby should really refer to last season when trying to argue their case, cause at least those 10 wins were real.
And last year we were lucky in some close games. We could easily have won only 6 games for the season. And that is around what we are on track for this year. So the fact that the cattle didn't change drastically, and our early picks haven't played and probably won't be a force immediately.
So in hindsight it's not a huge surprise were we are, there were a few shit teams with coaches on the way out last year too.
Hopefully, players like Betts develop this year, and some of Blackwell, Russell and Hartlett warrant senior selection next year. Add a decent uncontracted player and we might start some gradual improvement. More pain for 2006 (maybe some slight improvement) and if we got some of our picks right last year than some decent improvement in 2007.
