The NRL doesn't big up being top of the table at all.

We can argue about how seriously Australia takes winning the league format - the point is: it's more seriously than here.

Can't help but think of we grab that late try rather than Catalans everyone is congratulating the side on a good win in tough conditions. The views on here are so polarised by the scoreboard.

We're not far off. Injuries played a part again with an on fire Turner leaving the field (Jordan haters notably ignoring his performance) and Walsh a passenger.

Still think we'll win the GF.

I would partially agree with you.
Watching the match live at the stadium, we looked awful with lots of unnecessary penalties, Richards in particular was getting a lot of stick from the fans. We never looked like scoring at the end, but neither did the Cats.
Watching it on Sky when we got back, I thought we didn't look far off against a Cats team making not many errors, so I've tempered my criticism somewhat.

I still think that Richards looks a liability at the moment and I think its through over confidence not under confidence. He had a big smirk on his face leaving the ground for some reason.

I actually thought that going forward, Richards was having his best game.
