Not sure we have the drive and hunger to consistently win enough to get there though. I'm happy right now to take getting in and lasting only a week.Even just missing out is a significant sign of progress, especially given our injury list.
The resulting forward momentum can be non-linear, fans must realise this, they just have to look at recent seasons for Nthmond, Lions and Dogs. Get on a roll, get the confidence, get the run of injury luck, and it's amazing what can happen.
I think in recent times too many fans are too quick to dismiss Teague based on win / loss, what Teague has done in changing our game plan, finding a way to score, is significant change in a very very short period of time. It's not about BigH.
Some of the other stuff, the stuff that turns a 2 goal loss into the 2 goal win, the team building and foundational consistency, can only come with long term stability. You don't get doing the right thing from a skills session, you get it from playing besides a team-mate long term.
