i have felt the same way through the year with the erratic way they have performed (same as 05).
i admit, i completely wrote the tigers off for this season after the warriors game (horrible, horrible effort that day…) but today i am hoarse from roars of triumph and euphoria during last nights game and the guys have now made me believe anything is possible.
i think a big turning point has been marshalls vastly improved form and reduction in mistakes. its great to see him playing as one of 13 rather than trying to do everything himself every time he gets the ball.
still, we have been toyed with in the past and given such hope only to have them run straight into the last hurdle and break a leg...
however, i disagree with the whole 2005 team's aura comment: there is no reason this side cant generate the same sort of feel and become something special in their own right. i have also said that if you look at the squads, this years looks better than 05 in my opinion.
