Fevgrinder, mate trust me I don't think any of us really think we are going to rip up the league, I think a lot of us, OK a few of us, as there aren't actually a lot of us, but yep a few of us are hoping that we can have a decent season after the disappointment of last year.
We have not hit the straps yet, the team has a lot more in it, if we see it that's the challenge. As a full time outfit, in theory we should be ripping up the league, but we did get a lesson in Rugby when it was assumed because we were SL championship would be easy.
I am same mind as you though, not overly worried about the CC the league is where we need to concentrate our efforts but winning is habit so

We were well off SL standard when we were in that competition so anyone who thought we were going to suddenly go well in the championship was deluded.

Doesn't sound like we were turning up for the Fev game this week.

Hmm. A drubbing at home. Good prep.

Wow. That was totally unexpected. I assumed you'd walk that one.

Wish I could have been there to witness it.

Too many penalties.
Fev came out in the second half on fire, we let them get momentum and could not keep up with the pace.
Lost ball from kick off unforgivable, bloody good 40/20 from Fev kept us in our own half.
Oh well it's the CC don't think either team that concerned about it.
Proof will be in how we handle them on easter Monday hopefully with the rested players back in.

No but lots of the usual mistakes repeated again. Slow start to second half, failing to take the kick off after we've scored (almost normal now). Admittedly missed this one but too many common highlights by the sounds of it.

First half = 6/10
Second half = 1/10
Massive room for improvement overall. Or maybe we just suffered from floodlight fever.

Real game of two halves, only one team in it in the first, Broncos dreadful in the 2nd got steamrollered by Fev. Real shame, always enjoy / prefer games under the lights, only plus is it didn't cost us our top of the table position. Rested players will be back for the Easter games, we'll need them

Glad we are out. Top 4 is all that matters.
