We haven't changed enough and we look like getting similar-to-same results.Context.
You don’t generally win the comp with as little stability as we’ve had this year.
Prelim says we aren’t going backwards.
The Warriors will probably win their last three and hold off Melbourne from 3rd (they'll probably drop a game anyway) so if we finish 5th or 8th it's likely to be Melbourne and 6th or 7th it's the Warriors. So 6th is looking good - a home final then the Warriors.Given the Top 4 this year, week 2 is going to be a lot tougher than it has been in the past.
You'll either have to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane, Penrith at Penrith, Warriors in NZ or Melbourne in Melbourne.
Prelim is a tough ask from outside the Top 4 this year. Warriors being the weakest link.

Actually I think we did front load our energy. We were first after 11 rounds. No more front loading our energy than that.That stat is enough for the phrase “front loading our energy” to be torn off the walls at Heffron and never to be used again.
Any chance we can find the Panthers brand of front loader that has worked for 3 years with no downtime or burnout?Actually I think we did front load our energy. We were first after 11 rounds. No more front loading our energy than that.
There's a few dodgy supplement websites you can suss out mateAny chance we can find the Panthers brand of front loader that has worked for 3 years with no downtime or burnout?

I don't think it's a matter of front loading our energy. We have plenty of energy we just play far too conservatively in the first 30 minutes. We don't need to go made just lay a slightly more expansive game.Because @Bully asked...
NRL Ladder if matches ended after 30 minutes

It's pretty astounding how consistently bad we are at starting matches. We are always chasing the game.
Here's the final draw difficulty for 2023:I don't generally like doing stats midway through a round, but I thought it interesting that as it stands right now, we've had statistically the hardest draw in the NRL to date.
Worked out by totalling the current ladder position of each opponent, and then averaging it out.
It will only be more pronounced given we play 1st this week too (who have played no-one of note since Round 1, which contributes to them being 1st, which skews the numbers - this method isn't perfect but find me a better one and I'll go with it)
