We've been sold this slow rebuild that when it bears fruit will see us with a sustained period of success.
Problem is there are no guarantees....and we'll soon get envious of the sides that shoot past us and wonder why we cant do the same.
Rebuild has to take into account what other teams are doing too...you cant have other lowly teams beating you and still say you are improving...
The fact is we got beat by a team who no one rates, who are usually garbage away from Qld and who knocked us over last season the same way with the same players
doing the damage. This was a bad loss for many reasons and a set back IMO.....Murphy's explanation that we got ahead of ourselves is unsatisfactory as well, does he think we have been dominating so much that we were in a position to sit back and dwell on the glory of a honorable loss to the Tigers and expect GC to roll over based on media hype?
Footy is a results business, comparisons are part of the game and if your direct competitors are whipping your ar$e then its time to take stock early rather than let things drag on and pretending its all ok hiding under the banner of a slow rebuild....
