4 points off the 8? OR, 4 places off the wooden spoon?

I don't really write on this blog. I'm usually happy just to observe.

I feel I need to let my thoughts on this year be known.

I'll keep it brief.

It started with us been favourites. All the pre season talk was about the Hayne train and how many kilo's Tahu could leg press in the gym!!!

Then the season kicked off. It was more like a kick in the stomach. 

We saw Mort's almost go to the Dogs, Poore start like a man playing first grade for the first time, Hayne struggling to find his spark, Inu looking bored, Tahu doing nothing but trying to pull off big hits (needed to prove all the leg press wasn't for nothing), Cayless struggling with leadership and quality play, Mort's suffering second year syndrome, Grothe pulling out his best performance ... on tv that is, Mateo showing no respect to the ball and as a result no respect to his teammates, Hindy trying so hard that he looks/sounds like an emotional wreck, Tahu's Origin racism thingy which ended up effecting our team as well, Ray Price opening his big mouth, Ando not opening his mouth enough, Paul Oz interviewing other coaches ...... I could go on and on.

I don't think we ever deserved to make the 8. 4th last (not including melb) is a true reflection of our year!!!!!!!!!!

Only positives of 2010: Mannah & Horo.

  • Hmm, when I read the title of your blog, I thought, is this a half glass full guy or half glass empty? You would think that being two wins out of the finals is a better way to look at it
  • Really? I look at it like we finished 12th from 16 teams! There only 4 teams worse than ours ... 1 of them Melb!
  • So it's glass half empty then?
  • That's the sad thing about this season. We played like busteds but still only missed the 8 by 3 wins or so. Lots of news during the offseason I'd say.
  • well I guess so :-)
    • cheer up mate , there is always a next year.
      • Yeah I know.

        Unfortunately I've been saying that for the last 20 years!

        Look at my profile pic dude ... I look 80!
        • yeah it's painfull sometimes, but we will get there one day.
  • Look its all over for this year - thank goodness for that !!!
    Its time to get on with our lives for the next couple of months until we do it all again next year.
    I think we are probably mid table next year and thats about it.
    We need a bloody good clean out and thats a fact. Too old and too slow.
  • THe worst thing about this season there are a few crap teams in the 8, the title is anyones and unfortunately we are not there!
