It Just Wasn't Our Year

The season started great with good trial matches and a win in Auckland. Then our luck turned. The bounce of the ball just wasn't ours this year. And I mean that literally, in the first Parra v Manly game the ball sat up for David Williams when it could've gone dead then in the Roosters game the ball just wouldn't jump up for Jarryd to catch after the charge down. We've has very little go our way this year. If it had of been 09 those balls would've bounced for us but it just wasn't meant to be this year.

  • helps if we play for 80mins as well
  • Not our year? Now, that is nod BIG understatement! Roll on 2012 :-)
  • It is funny how little things make such a difference. I bring to your attention the unbelievable amount of close games we have had and how had we won some, our confidence would be higher and there is every chance we would be talking about semi final football. In these games, for the most part we have been in a winning position and then one mistake has cost us dearly. Whether it is a conceded penalty, dropped ball or rotation error, this indiscretion has ultimately led to our defeat in that game, a diminishing of our confidence and the psychology of losing rears its ugly head. While we spiral out of control due to these little mistakes, our opposition, whether through desire, experience or whatever capitalise and go on to win.

    We are so close to success, it's palatable. We too, however are a million miles away. How we deal with adversity in games will determine our success.
