Can the Blues break this 21 year title drought?

We won a title in 2021. The Chiefs haven’t won anything since 2013.

Thanks - those are very interesting. Can compare a few AB contenders to see some of what they do and don't.

Assuming you've got close to end of season ones for the other teams they might provide some pointers for the inevitable AB selection surprises.

Looking at the goal-kicking stats, DMac is looking like a solid option - but, you've got to wonder why the Canes were using Cameron and not Jordie.

@mariner4life Harsh but fair!

I mentioned earlier in this thread that Ah Kuoi has concussion. He went off late in the SF.

It could be Thompson's last SR game.

How did we let him go? So painful seeing him carve up the Canes at the Tin.
