Quote: G1 "How do you define the "best"?
Is it the runner that sets off at an unsustainable pace, falling behind the pack at the last hurdle or the runner who paces himself properly, ultimately winning the race?
IMO, the team who comes top of the league table is not the best unless and until they win the GF. They're the most consistent in qualification for the playoffs but the best will properly be determined Saturday night.'"
I'm in agreement with you on this.
I think people were incredibly unfair on the team getting to the Challenge cup final, saying we had an easy run, which was bull, we played Super League teams all the way through, regardless of how they are rated.
What we have achieved in getting to the grand final from the position we were and the teams we have played is superb.
I have to be honest, and it maybe easy to say because it's already been achieved, but I will take even more satisfaction out of winning the GF this year, than what I did in 2004. Winning this year would show incredible resolve, incredible spirit, incredible togetherness, and would quite rightly be correct to claim to be the best.
Excellent stuff. That was 4 months ago. Clearly he's drunk a whole lot of tea and done a whole lot of queueing in the past 4 months. I've heard reports he's even been moaning about the weather and has bought the Fawlty Towers box set. People change man. Cut him some slack.
