Quote: Grimmy "As long as you're getting to a certain minimum standard week-to-week, our system all comes down to how you perform in knockout games. '"
I think performance in the weekly rounds is something that, rightly or wrongly, gets overlooked. In many ways you make your own luck by being consistently good. Saints have proven that consistency, week to week, invariably returns a trophy.
I want to win trophies, but I also don't want to feel like the weekly rounds aren't somehow important (especially when fans are in the stands). We as fans shouldn't accept anything less than the best from the players.
Lam has earned his new deal after the CC semi. The week to week consistency we've seen recently is now the benchmark imo.
Also I'm very reluctant to talk about being entertained. For me the GF was the most entertaining game this season, but we only saw two tries. Entrainment is subjective, so you can only really judge on win/loss and trophies.
