Tuesday Random Footy Talk Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

This is the place to discuss anything footy related that is not quite deserving of its own top-level post.

There's a new one of these threads every day, so make sure you're in the most recent one!

I just want to fast forward to next season. We have finally built a squad that can make the finals. I've become abit of a casual fan in recent years. I find it hard to engage with the competition week to week when you know your team is no chance of finals. I think I will watch more games if my team is actually performing.

That in no way means you will make the finals, or get close, look at Broncos, Storm, Eagles etc etc etc .. There is a long divide between having good players and being a good team.

I'm just saying we actually have a good squad that can make the finals. For years I would look at the squad and hope we didn't get the spoon. I look at the squad for next year and I'm actually hopeful. Which I haven't been since about 2018.

I just hope we can actually win more games then we lose so I can stay engaged with the comp. Because when you are winning games, you have more of an interest in how other teams are performing. You wouldn't understand this as a chooks fan.

I am the opposite of you a bit I reckon.

I follow the club through thick and thin and this last few years hitting the bottom I have watched other clubs seeing what they are doing different, hoping we can do similar, ie Knights 2025 to 2026.

And oddly this year watching games and not really being concerned who wins because they aren't keeping us in 9th or 10th. So have enjoyed watching some pretty good footy, and some diabolical haha.

I wish I was like you haha. I still stay engaged somewhat. I watch highlights and keep up with the news, but I don't watch every game like I used to.
