Quote: Itchy Arsenal "Genuine question Phuzzy, I’m not having a pop, but how do you see how we can beat Saints on GF?
Maybe I’m being too pragmatic or overly pessimistic but presently, unless Saints play below their high standards I struggle to see us winning.'"
Of course we can! We probably should have beaten them in 2020 and we were nowhere near as good then as we are now.
If you're asking would last night's performance have beaten them. Depends on which Saints performance you're comparing it to. It was better than both of Saints last 2 performances so yes on those, no against Saints best.
You can't judge in round 7 how teams will be going come the Grand Final. We might be flying with an unstoppable combination of French and Field ripping teams apart. We might be awful with 9 players on the treatment table. The Grand Final isn't won in March.
All I know is last night's performance was good enough to win and showed desire, application and pride in the shirt. That'll do for round 7.
