Agreed, we did beat them twice last year though...

There was an article last week, telegraph I think, where niko talks about how Siebsy is getting the players to change the way they reacts to errors, bad calls etc. Not dwelling on shit and focusing as quick as possible on the next task at hand.
I'm glad theyre working on this area.
Go siebs.

IMO the Roosters are going to be very tough to beat and are probably the best shot at going back to back since we did it (although I thought the same last year about the Storm)
Brisbane, with a new coach and Bird and Gillette back, should be top 4 and anything can happen from there

Ferguson is a massive loss for them. He was exceptional for them last year. He saved their asses a few games. They will also lose a bit of aggression without Napa too and Matterson was a pretty handy player too.
People also forget that whilst the squad may stay the same, everyone circles your name in the calendar now. They wont get easy clock off games like last year this year being the premiers.

Matterson was injured or completely missing for the second half of the season, and they went fine.
Ferguson is a big loss, but Ryan Hall (if he recovers from injury) is a perfect replacement. He might not be as agile but he is fast and powerful and makes a fuckton of metres bringing the ball back, which is where Ferguson's value was.

I love the optimism in this thread, but here is a dose of reality, the problems we have had in the last couple of years (in no particular order) are:
1. Attitudinal
2. Consistency
3. Commitment to defence
4. injuries
5. Our spine
4. is down to lady luck. The new coaching team seem to be addressing 1 to 3 in the pre-season. Whether that is successful will be significant in how our season unfolds.
5. remains a significant issue in my view. I will be surprised if at this stage there is any significant change in the way our hooker plays. Boyd is getting on and has proven to be somewhat injury prone. If he is fit and can regain some enthusiasm we could see some marked improvement in his game. Re the halves, it will be dependent on how productive the work being done by M. Johns is.
I think we will improve. I think that suggesting we are favourites or near favourites is very, very optimistic.

That'd be an improvement, the whiny bitches having a tanty about Wayne coming back didn't wait for our first loss to throw their toys out of the pram.
