Some fans are delusional in believing it will be a stroll to make SL, we are very much the underdog for a reason. You saw the pace the game was played at on Saturday, and I would love that to be the case in every game we play until the 8's but it wont the ruck speed will be back to the awful pace we see every week, the niggle will be allowed and then when we hit the 8's we have to adapt.
The refs need to get the championship clubs playing at SL pace NOW so we are comfortable with it when it matters, unless of course the RFL plan is for no promoted clubs.
Lets see some great games played at pace and enter the 8's with a fully fit squad then see what unfolds.
