Yeah I agree. But he was having some very good moments after having to step up. With a now full preseason, I'm sure he'll have a good year.Winning streaks can be deceptive in knowing how a side or players are actually traveling, entry into the 1988 NSWRL is a perfect example of that, Bennett even said that the loss against Balmain was just a matter of time. We weren't actually traveling that great in those 7 games(lucky escapes against the Titans and Souths come to mind), glaring attacking and defensive issues and too often guilty of letting the opposition back in the game, looking back at it that Eels effort it was always on the cards. Unlike the Titans outfit that didn't even bother to get off the bus a few weeks earlier, the Eels actually came to play and we got blown away in the very first set, seconds into the match and the bottom line is we really had no chance in the finals.
