Personally I believe this team has enough talent to beat anyone 4 out of 7 times and thus I think we have the talent to capture 18.
Right now, they're not playing like they can. In fact, I've yet to see a game where they're actually all clicking together. The best games so far have pretty much been games where either 1 person (KG, PP, RR) took the rest of the team on their back and did most of the work on their own, or maybe half a game where they turned up the defense.
The lack of any great team games suggests that as of right now, they're not ready yet.
That's my view anyway. I think there's a LOT of work to be done, and though I won't count them out just like that, I won't give them the statement I quoted either.
I'd like to see a string of good games first.
Let's start that with Bradley's return.
