There is no way we are playing as dynamic and irrepressibly as the last 7 weeks or so of 2017. IMHO.

I think we are. Look particularly at the scores we're giving up (highest is 70, average of 61 in the last 7). Opposition just can't score against us. Closest margin in the last 7 has been 27 points. Convincing safe wins. In 2017 as well our last 7 games were against 18th, 17th, 14th, 12th, 11th, 4th, 2nd. Much easier draw than this year where by end of round 23 we'll have played 4 of the top 8 sides (based on current ladder position).
