That's food for thought Harry.

If Victory and Sydney are below us on your table, that means they did not win against other teams than Jets and CCM. That is neither here nor there - that is their performance this year. But we did not win just against Jets and CCM in your table.

In my books that is really some evidence for our particularly soft mindset that we cannot win against those two teams (Jets and CCM). So, are we the perennial underdogs, punching above our weight against better teams, but falling flat on our faces when teams with poorer skiils but a stronger mental resolve take the field against us?

I think that the way we play works better against teams who are also trying to play more attacking football. We really struggle against deep defences and counterattacks because our attackers are small and like space to run into and our defenders are slow and get caught out on the break
