This season might not have gone the way the Landers would have liked but man there is some talent in this team to build around. TK, Holland, Tim, Tangitau, Tele'a, JRK, Fakatava and even Cribb was very good tonight.
No mate, you don't understand, whenever a Jamie Joseph-coached team loses the narrative is always he has no good players and Jamie was simply unlucky, it's nothing to do with the coach mate.
Jamie's playing group short of experience you must admit, the only +5 year super players out there were Lowe, Fakatava, de Groot & Tele'a. Flipside Codie Taylor, Bower, Barrett, Grace, Christie, Drummond, Havili, Ennor, Reece & McNicholl. But then again Daryl maybe you're right my standards have dropped. household names Taniela Filimone & Tai Cribb had me thinking my Landers bet would come through.. It didn't damn you Millar I mean Joseph!
Oh yeah, except Dermody had the same group last year & managed 6th.
Which begs the question, why are people absolving Joseph of blame for finishing dead last?
He inserted himself into the HC role (which didn't need to happen) after Dermody did a fine job in 2024, therefore he should cop the blame.

@darylmitchell Inferior competition. Difference last year was Moana were worse so we beat them 2x, we beat the Tahs because they were worse, and we beat the Force in the worst game ever.
We lost our way at points this year, but the direction of travel has again been upwards.
