Im pumped!

[tigsta]

Ok. With all the festivities almost done and dusted. I am now officially starting to get pumped up.

I'm tired of hearing we will be good but we have a couple of years to go. I HAVE BEEN HEARING THIS FOR YEARS.

We need to start NOW.

Excuses are running out.

Thoughts?

You need to be patient.
We have a rookie coach being paid peanuts, and a squad full of rookies
Dont expect another 05

05 was unexpected.

I have heard we will be good in a couple of years for about 7 years.

Can't we have faith that we can do
It this year. Or at least be solid contenders this year.

Do you honestly expect us to go from 2nd last to contenders in a year, with our board, our injuries, our ramshackle facilities, our lack of finances etc etc

Im hoping for 3 or 4 more wins than this season….clean-outs and rebuilds take several years

 

[pHyR3]

didnt we have a good one in 2010 and 2011? it didnt end well true, but top 4 is a very good season imo.

I didn't expect to go from top 4 top missing the 8 and then 2nd last.

I believe more in our rookies than I do for our seasoned players.

It didn't end well. And we went into 2012 with pretty much the same side if not better and the reality hit hard. We were pretenders.

I'm excited to see what steps the up and comers can make

Agree with Ink ,10-11 wins is probably the most realistic target for the side

Reckon the back end of 2014 , we will start to really look like a cohesive unit if we keep relatively injury free

Just remember we have toughest draw of any side (well this was according some Parra fella I know , we had hardest draw and Parra had the third hardest draw )

Probably much easier to drop rapidly than rebuild and climb

Im not surprised Sheens failed (again) in his last season with us,…it was his most consistent trait

The last thing you should do is listen to a parra fan.

Well when you look at the sides we play twice , its daunting to put it mildly

there was an article on nrl.com and yes we have the hardest draw by LAST year's ladder. i can almost guarantee that the ladder will be different as teams come in and out of the 8 and it won't be as bad as it might seem right now.

I share your enthusiasm, I would be happy if we end up somewhere between 6th and 8th. To achieve this we need to be injury free and the boardroom issues must stay away from the press. Our future is very bright IF we get and maintain our act together off the field.

Roosters
Cronulla
Souths
Cowbees
Manly
Titans
Dragons
Cowboys
Bulldogs

6 of those sides will make the 8 and the Bulldogs rarely put a weak side on the paddock

In that list I would only be concerned about rooters souths and manly. But in reality I don't care one bit. I'll believe we can beat those sides. Twice if we have to. SMASH EM.

cowbees?

roosters will, manly will, bulldogs probably will, souths will.

titans, dragons, cowboys, cronulla are maybes. and if WE make the 8, we push out one side as well.

we have the hardest draw by the 2013 ladder, but i reckon we won't by the 2014 ladder. it won't be easy or anything, but it'll turn out better than you might think.

Cowbees was a term coined up in Qld during the Cowboys bad early years

 

[pHyR3]

ah okay, thought it had something to do with them except you put the cowboys in as well as the cowbees

 

[happy_tiger]

Should of been Canberra

DOH to me

 

[happy_tiger]

Forgot to add , we only won 2 games against Top 8 sides in 2013
