seems like a bit of a waste of time game now. just looking back at the season of missed chances its eye watering.

At best we are 1 win likely 2 off the playoffs and we threw away the last broncos game, the Spoon knights games the first warriors game that tigers game and the opener against the bunnies.

That 12point would have us level will Melbourne. the worst thing is where those loses have been to appaling teams, knights spoon, bunnies 14th tigers 13th. thats 8 points alone. There is nobody to blame for missing the 8 apart from ourselves.

Not to mention blowing an 18 point HT lead to Canberra. Plenty of ifs and buts. Hopefully, next year, we will see an improvement in some of those opportunities not secured.

I can't even remember the first 4 games. It seems a lifetime ago now. But fair to say, that is what cost us. Also the abomination against Manly 2 weeks ago was ridiculous. Based on that, we don't deserve to make the finals.

Yeah, whilst I agree we d9nt deserve to be in the finals, a lot of that inconsistency can be put down to injures throughout the year. We have been terribly unlucky in that department.

The first 4 games are probably a learning curve for the coaching staff. We looked flogged from memory, and as a result started slowly. A tweak to preseason may result in a better start next season.

The future is bright here. And i think we all see that. And that's probably why we are all disappointed in not making the finals, because we can smell success. However, we need to remember its only our 3rd season. Probably unreasonable for us to assume we should be making finals at this point in our organisational life cycle.

All in all im stoke with the direction and progress we are making as a club.

Strong start though it's basically the Canberra reserve grade team.

Though we can only beat who they put in front of us.

I just wonder, if Fuller is fullback next year, Hammer and Herbie centres, what is going to happen to Averillo? He'd be an excellent backline utility but probably wants to start.

In the event of injury or suspension anywhere in the backline, Averillo will be right in. So even if he isn't in the best 17, he'll see plenty of first grade but

I think this might be right. No doubt at all Fuller's attack is outstanding but his defence and bomb defusal is an issue.

Might put on another try before halftime and then go for a record win in the second half. The history books won't record it was against the Canberra's reserve grade team.

In a major development from Redcliffe, Ray Stone almost smiled after he scored. Only fleetingly until he reverted to the customary scowl.

Canberra second try was too easy as well. A big off season for defensive training.
