If we're half as good a team as we fans like to think we are. Then we'll beat anyone on any given day...................................... as long as we bring our A game.
Pretty much the same for most of the sides in the comp, bring your A game n you win consistently, if you're a few % off your game it won't be hard to get beaten. Not in the slightest fussed where we finish in the eight or who we play where. I'm actually of the belief that with the new bye week before the finals it's probably better to get a continuous run of games during the finals rather than stop starting of a bye, one final, another week off n then Prelim - Granny.
One simple rule for winning finals n flags. Stand n deliver, there's no room for faffing around n trying to pick who or where you play. If you're good enough it's head down bum up n take on n beat whatever gets in the way.
