It is certainly preferable to win matches than lose. And when we do lose each of us looks to the obvious problems in the team. Perhaps we should cast our mind back to the pre-season of 2009. I may have this wrong but my recollection was that last year's pre-season was pretty similar to this. We had a number of good results, and one rather large beating from Port That result proved insignificant, and perhaps was the catalyst for an excellent performance in the main event.
The loss to the Bulldogs may prove just as valuable.

Re: 12 Months Ago
Coaches will have learnt more from that game last night than any other game we played in the NAB Cup. You can be sure there will be aspects of the game they will be working on over the next 2 weeks. I expect the Saints to be solid in the opening rounds without being brilliant.DownAtTheJunction wrote:It is certainly preferable to win matches than lose.

Personally I would feel more comfortable if we had more KPP prospects in the back line - last year you always knew that Max's shadow was hovering over Zac and it seemed to lift his game. This year there doesnt appear the same pressure / urgency with Zac - perhaps subconsciously he isnt feeling the same pressure to perform.
Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against the giants.
We lost to Port by 52 points in our l;ast practice match. The week before we sat about laughing with the Bulldogs supporters at the ineptitude of our teams.
At qtr time v Sydney in Round 1 we were four goals down, and hadn't scored a goal.
Keep calm
