i have never understood the fascination with "bagging" another club and their supporters. your constant reminders of our lack of success only proves perhaps that we are great supporters of "our" team. we could quite easily jump ship or follow another sport. but no we are there week in week out supporting our club.
i for one think the dogs in particular are one of the success stories of the year. coming from where they have been over the last few years to this year is a credit to the players and coaching staff at that club.
so princess in future how about you comment on "constructive facts". not your blatent attempts to stir the pot
Tamara has come and congratulated us on our effort last night, which is what we deserve. Parramatta did not choke last night - we were noble and valiant in defeat and gave it our absolute best shot. For a team who was going to finish last 4 months ago to have beaten the Bulldogs ;-), Dragons and Titans and be where we are is a credit to our team and our coach. The disappointment lies not in embarrassment or shame, but more in the fact that we lost a Grand Final and disappointment will always come with that. Further, to see Hindy, Caylo and Burty come so close again was heart wrenching.
Have to disagree with one point though and that is the derailing of the Hayne Train. While I will recognise that Jarryd did not have his best game last night, I think we have only started to see what he can produce. The Hayne Train will be ready for boarding in 2010 and Parramatta have a wonderful year to look forward to!
Congratulations boys on your season, you have much to be proud of.
P.S. On the Dynasty issue, I think we have definitely laid the foundations for a dynasty. We were beaten by the better side last night, but Parramatta is now a palce where players want to come and stay, where the legends are welcome in our club and in an environment which just has a really good vibe. For me, the dynasty has begun - we may not have won last night, but Parramatta achieved GREAT things this season. We will just pick up where we left off next year!!
P.P.S. Did anyone see any superheroes around yesterday?
Yes you’re well placed to be a big threat next year, but I maintain talks of a Parramatta dynasty are very premature. After Dogs won 2004 even our players were talking about a dynasty, with arguably the best forward pack in league ever. The biggest issue with a single club dominating league is the salary cap, almost impossible to keep all or even most of the players as they increase in value with good form. Not to mention league is perhaps the most injury prone sport, which can often be the main reason for a team’s demise.
in regards to hayne, i thought he did well yesterday. while there was no clear breaks, he admitted he tried to make it happen instead of letting it. no major mistakes i can recall.
I think the big point with the Dynasty only partle refers to us being a threat next year. We will have a great squad next year, but as everyone knows this does not mean anything. Sport is a game of injuries - we could loose Mateo or Hayne or Morts or Guru. Further, following the departure of unsung heroes like Kinga, Toddy and Big Joe, we will have a different squad next year, which one would hope, would be strengthened by Poore, Tahu and Shacks.
The point about the Dynasty is that Parramatta has a different feeling. Earier this year, legends like Ray Price and Guru Snr were not really welcome in our club. I imagine you would be disgusted were Hazem to feel unwelcome in Belmore. Now it is common to see them there after the game. Supporters are coming back to the club, rejoicing with a new coach and with a new administration. The pictures of the legends are back in the Leagues Club and the whole thing just feels different. This grass roots support is what a Dynasty is based on. Whether we win next year or come up short again, the Dynasty has started. Parramatta just feels different and our players want to be there and play for each other. It's about more than just a Premiereship. :-)
P.S. Again, with the sledges. Surely you can all do better than swear!
And grids, I have no idea how Melbourne are able to sustain that level competitiveness. Have to give them credit for being the most professional club in the NRL.
I also want to give credit to Melbourne. I despise them, especially Billy Slater and Greg Inglis (who I think is a blight on the sport), but to be in 4 consecutive Premiereships is an amazing feat.
And as for you Tamara, please continue to give it to people who feel the most appropriate way to illustrate their disapproval with your posts is by calling you ugly and stupid. None of which appear to be wattanted! :-) I enjoy conversing with those who can put a decent argument forth, so thank you!
