I agree, but just noting that we're tinkering with the gameplan again, and in all likelihood that's not going to peak until later in the season, hence the comment.Most teams speak about the need to peak later in the season, teams who win flags typically enter finals on a solid win streak. But those teams bank wins early "by hook or by crook".
The best teams the last 7 or 8 years have gotten wins early but rolled on from the halfway point of the season. I think the only 2 games we drop early in the season if we are going to have a good year is likely the Adelaide and the Brisbane games. Win the others and we are healthy.
Scott spoke about it in 2022, that we're going to take that risk and might finish 9th doing so, but if it clicks, we'll be unbeatable. This feels similar.
FWIW, Kingsley said similar to the Giants last year.
There's some great footage of a pre-season meeting, where he mentions that it's going to take 2-3 months to get this thing to work, but if it does, we'll come home flying.
